I chopped off the tip of my index finger about 20 years ago and then got it sewn back on. Another dude I was working with did the same and didn’t get it sewn back on. Four years later, his was good as new, and mine was healed but I couldn’t

This is not the same thing as the BioNTech/ModeRNA treatment. This is gene therapy on T-cells. The mRNA is used here to produce a functional protein within the T-cells themselves, not a protein to recognize and attack.

This is called executive wisdom. You are seeing things clearly now. Most ideas are bad. Most execution is sloppy. Just because you can does not mean you should. Your primary job is to kill all ideas except the one thing you are absolutely c

Re-write your code. Re-do your projects. Start from scratch. Let a new team try on their own. Software has such tremendous leverage, it’s way more valuable to do one thing twice than to do two things once.

YouTube is the best place for instruction because everything in text now is just marketing. YouTube gives creators a way to profit from genuinely useful content, even if it’s not the best medium for it.
