Yep, anyone that started investing in 2012 or later is about to learn the true meaning of "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

At some point, I hope we can get past this argument. Learning a new language for rudimentary tasks is not particularly hard. I'm not sure why people decided that JavaScript of all things was what we had to all latch onto.

Yeah, I used to walk to school when I was 7. It was only about 4 blocks away, and my mom told me to never deviate from the route she laid out for me, but it wasn't a bit deal.

Ok, I read 5 years ago that microservices are the future and that monoliths are dead. I'm glad we're making progress.

You don't think it would be embarrassing to be standing at a whiteboard at work and be unable to spell basic words?

I feel like there's a good joke about an atheistic (and formerly Communist) country producing Bibles for a more religious country as they beat them at their own game of capitalism, but I'm too tired to fully form it at the moment.

I would be very careful in trying to attribute something as complex as corporate structures to human nature. We have seen massive changes in all parts of society throughout the last 10k years. I don't think the human genome has changed so rapidly as to cycle through slavery, feudalism, mercantilism, capitalism, etc.

The game was insanely popular for the few weeks immediately following launch in 2016. It is entirely possible that Clash had more players, but they weren't all outside walking around while looking at their phones in places they'd never visited before.

Don't employee surveys factor heavily into these evaluations?

It's probably because the implementation of the algorithm is the simplest, because you don't need to modify the existing data structure. You don't need to merge or create new arrays. You just repeatedly loop and swap two elements when needed. Super easy by all metrics.
