I had a similar experience reading the “Count of Monte Cristo”. I gave up multiple times when reading the first translation.

Dijkstra does a commendable job in explaining how people map new ideas to old ones and never really end up looking at things in a new way.

Have you tried automating some of your work? It helps if the works is automatable and mundane.

I read somewhere on the internet that, "If grass is greener on the other side, you aren't watering enough".

Sure some people get lucky, but on the long term, the ones who consistently make better decisions and work harder are the ones who are benefitted more often.

What about things like credit card rewards? Lots of companies just keep competing by giving better offers and cashbacks etc.

Also another thing is funding for startups. Smaller companies don't stand a chance against giants like Amazon because of the way they crush startups or just acquire them.

In 2012 Facebook had 1BN users and 180K servers. 1,000,000 users / 180,000 servers = 5,556 users per server In 2017 Facebook has close to 2BN users. 2,000,000 users / 5556 users per server = 360,000 servers

Notice how the 1B has only 6 zeros. The awesome part is that this mistake evens itself out later, yielding a correct number for "The of servers".
