I can see it working for certain industries, but overall we need digital systems too. I work in manufacturing (biotech); everything we do uses a automated recipe, and there are only a handful of systems where we need an operator to directly interact with a UI to make stuff happen.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.

The new kids get arrested (SBF) but the old institutional dudes continue to rob us blind.

Obviously a very very gross generalization (might get called out on it too :P) - But I think the low hanging fruit for modern software is optimizing data layouts for fast processing.

Optimizing code requires a lot of work, and requires skills that people usually learn from experience - therefore a rare and expensive skillset. Data-Oriented Design can be taught, and requires (IMO of course) a far less technical skillset.

What are some instances of people en-masse trying to emulate a scientist's womanizing or similar traits? What I mean to say is, the problem we're trying to solve/avoid - does it actually exist, ever?

If we can't learn from flawed humans, then we can't learn anything from anyone. Everyone is defective in one way or another.

It is a bit humorous to see people project their own insecurities onto Elon with the flimsiest of evidence. "pissed that he overpaid on twitter" "must be angry" "must be mad that TSLA is going down", etc.

While LE probably has legitimate reason to have contacts in every major company SV company, its still chilling to see how friendly and obedient Twitter was, makes you wonder what other social media companies are doing with the government, and how they respond to "suggestions".

Personal attacks are against HN guidelines. I think we're done here. Goodbye.

I don't usually stick my neck out for Google, but I kinda get this policy. Charge-backs are the "nuclear" option, and both parties will take this unkindly. I understand in this case, it was suggested by the customer rep, which was a mistake.

That is simply your view, and I don't agree. Again, its no big deal, people can disagree. People are attempting to moralize the issue due to a personal vendetta against Elon (such as the poster I replied to).

Sure, and someone may disagree with your assessment. In the end its no big deal, its just a difference of opinion.

One important thing that you should consider is that feelings are not facts. While facts do inform our feelings, that isn't always the case. Most people are average (sometimes even people who think they're good). Its not wrong to feel like a failure just like it isn't wrong to feel like you're a success/have made it. IMO, what is important is that you should strive to perform at YOUR best. If you're doing than then you're already successful. Give it all you have, and ignore the haters.
