So if I’m a hiring manager looking at someone with a recent degree from University of Leicester I have to discount their math abilities. Their alumni should complain that the administration is harming the value of their credentials.

OO is about managing state. Generally, stateless code is easier to test and maintain. Around 2012 I started writing mostly functional code (in C++) to scratch my own maintainability itch. I kept doing it through a long sojourn in JavaScript

Real estate seems to absorb inflation but generally it doesn’t have good ROI. Starting a company where you can change prices is a better inflation hedge, IMO. Anything where the deal requires lock-in at a fixed denomination for an extended

It's all about going to production without engineering time and automation data prep and marshalling, and governance. This is low-value "hurry up and wait" work that isn't data-scientists-doing-data-science.
