I'd wager the use of "the" is mostly about making the meter work and having the iambic pentameter sound the way he wanted it to.

As a playwright, Chekhov is second only to Shakespeare.

And you get get through his 4 major plays in only a few days. There are even great adaptations on YouTube in English or Russian (with subtitles). Highly recommended.

It's easier to learn old tech than new tech. Copying manufacturing is easier than making new software.

I would pay >$100/mo for something that has intelligence. If you could create an AI to replace a junior marketing analyst, it's worth it. But you have to first talk with businesses and really understand what kind of intelligence they need.

My advice is:

* Don't be afraid of being stupid or being unfunny.

* Do everything to kill fear. Face your fears to kill them.

* Follow your gut.

* Practice in front of a live audience as much as you can.

* Observe and notice everything. Question everything.

* When you're inspired to write a joke, notice the things that inspire you.

If you have a bunch of accounts, they are unsorted and you can't search through them. They are probably sorted by ID or something.
