Amen to all of that. This conversation illustrates the challenges with the reproducibility crisis. There is a fundamental problem in how we do science and that problem is hidden by our everyday experience of how effective science has been.

I'm a UI developer, never used Org-Mode, not a VIM or Emacs user. But I am very interested in document creation, note taking, organizing workflows. Please forgive the lack of background in this question but... Can someone explain to me

No, this is a meaningless sentiment. Floating a feel-good idea like this accomplishes little in the face of how the world actually works. In the real world the hippocratic oath does not prevent malpractice, over prescription of opioids, or

It definitely favored verbal skills, I am assuming that was a feature not a bug in the hiring process. The questions were not a project but a conversation in the context of my experience With a specific tech stack such as... “How do you kee

It isn't worth that much. It is however successful at making its stock price go up. These are not the same thing. If one share trades hands at $0.01 above the market then the market cap is outstanding shares * new price. Tesla has some
