It will never learn because there is no incentive to do so. Tech organizations value their managers in terms of their budget, headcount and being in fashion. As such the tech business model has always been about getting "good enough&qu

The problem is in the hype. For example, the tradeoff between centralized and distributed has been taken (mostly informally) by big institutions for years. It´s not possible for a large bank with multiple overlapping domains, hundreds or th

Unless you have to, as in work or an exam, focus in something else for a while. Or better, just don´t focus in anything at all. Do whatever you please at the moment. Take a mental holiday. Recharge your batteries. What´s the worst that can
