Not if management implies non-technical. Maybe an architect role would describe it better.

Here is a recent discussion about "WTF Happened in 1971?" There are quite a few different opinions. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMotte/comments/hyh565/wtf_happen...

In my opinion the core idea is about the data model: Double entry accounting stores movements of money instead of accounts. Everything else follows from that idea plus a bunch of terminology.

You just have to compute the expected value. Let's say we play a game where you have to invest $10. If you have a 65% chance to win and winning means you get $2 on top of your $10, then abort the plan. The expected value is $12×65% = $

Fully agree. For 1 you need preproduced material: Wikipedia, Khan academy, Anki cards. Teachers only act as gatekeepers here. For 2 you need interactive toys like a Logo Turtle or Minecraft. Teachers act as coaches.

A "classroom" is already wrong. We want a "learning" experience and a "socializing" experience.

Are you sure about the hair color? My feeling is that movie villains tend to have black hair while the good guys are more often not black. It isn't a strong association though. Superman has black hair while Cersei is blond. Black has a

Big enterprises are (too) great at improving efficiency for their low-level workers. On the other hand they utterly fail to do so with the middle management. The alternative theory would be that middle management does its job efficiently bu

Noise cancelling tech only cancels certain sounds though. Traffic noise works. Voices are not cancelled at all by mine.

Agreed. The rant to me reads as "Writing good tests is hard. Bad tests are not worth it." That raises the question how valuable the skill of writing-good-tests is. For quality software or is. For a career unfortunately not in many

I rather see Sandis post as a criterium when an abstraction should be considered unsuitable: When you use only a small fraction of it because of conditionals.

If you see an abstraction does not fit, you have the choice to consider it incomplete or unsuitable. If incomplete, you can fix it (assuming write access). If unsuitable, you should "back it out" as you say. In my opinion this dis

Well, superpowers are quite boring if everyone around has them as well. For example, Harry Potters wand is not that impressive compared to a smartphone.
