"I know of many so called Technical leads who boast that they don't write code anymore, trying to imply that people who write code or who are good at tech stuff are generally incompetent people not deserving of progress."

very true, in fact I know a bunch of people who want to become tech lead so that they don't have to write any code. Such companies are surviving only due to $ - Rs conversion rates. People outsourcing work to such companies are bound to get hurt.

Become 'excellent' in one and good in other

- Linear algebra

- Calculus (single variable)

- Discrete mathematics

- Probability & Statistics

- Numerical Methods & transforms

Does Facebook really believe that because they have the most users, they should also have the biggest git repo?

Amazon and Google have already solved this problem, and the solution is to reorganize things into smaller manageable packages.

3x developer is equivalent to Triple-Core Processor...you will see the increase in performance but that won't be 3 times more, so I will pay accordingly.
