The same goes for language skills, by the way. In the US, 21% of adults are illiterate, and 54% of adults have literacy below sixth-grade level.[1] This is higher than in other developed countries. For example, in Germany, 10% are illiterat

I had managers in the past who did not know or care what I was doing. They got nothing done. They didn’t know the product. I remember distinctly that one of my colleagues got mad because our manager proposed a feature that he had implemente

They are also better than Google search. When I was using DDG, I still used Google from time to time if DDG's results were not helpful. After I switched to Kagi, I did the same at first but soon realized that when Kagi gives you bad re
