All in all, I think “tech bros” needs to take severe lesson in humility, I understand the illusion of power that comes with ability to create/order things— digging deep, it’s neither. it’s a recombination, abstraction over and following of pre-1980s instructions set.

Boring signifies simplicity and order, order implies predictability, predictability gives rise to consistency.
And consistency is the sine qua non for long running processes, so, it speculatively checks out.
I don’t think you need data, you can prove this deductively.
I don’t have enough data to back this up but it looks to me from my view that the boring things seem to last.
- The boring businesses
- The boring lifestyle
- The boring products
Same processes with daily optimizations here & there but freaking reliable, durable & dependable

DOM works with XML/HTML to form a tree like data structure, the DOM represents a doc with a logical tree & it's not a binary tree
React isn't HTML of JS, it's an abstraction over DOM

My theory is that this is an innate human nature, and we get tensed up when we are up for judgement by others, it’s similar to a very primal fear of being ostracized

Lol, this is the exact same error you made in your analysis of Iyin’s behavior.
The fatal misstep of this type of analysis/credulity is assuming that superior ability within a particular realm can be generalized as superior wisdom or acumen in other distinct realm.
Elon Musk did not become a pioneering, dominant force in multiple, highly regulated, industries by luck.
He's many things, but not an idiot in building tech.
The biggest lesson I'm learning from him is: he's not afraid to iterate constantly.
As you laugh, learn.

So, errr... it’s not really the dev factory fact that makes Andela great
It’s the fact that you get to meet many other individuals that are way better than you, bcos they are in close proximtiy, you start learning from each other, hence your value as a developer increases
The weird thing is I have never considered working at of Andela. No hate or anything, but I've never like dev factories.

To improve your efficiency:

- prioritize when each should be done
- allocate time and focus on executing one task at a time
- research & pay attention to details
- share & wait for feedback

The speed of light is not really about light :), it’s about the speed of causality.
In reconciling the conflict between Galilean relativity(invariant to velocities) and Maxwell’s equations, the Lorentz transformation had required a constant, c.
Here was how Einstein derived it.
I predict Elon will soon make this happen for the super rich. This is classic time dilation in physics. With a spaceship, if you leave earth at 30, at the speed of light, when you get back in 5 years you will be 35, but everyone you left here will be circa 80 years old.

It is insulting to the people of FCT, that a president is elected without their input. That they’d be governed by a president who more than 80% of the population rejected.

What’s the correlation? I’m so happy brought up that term— “correlation”.
Correlation is a statistical term, defined by a relationship between 2 dynamic variables (A and B), not necessarily connected, in such a way that when A moves, B moves—measured by its co-efficient(r/r²)
What’s the correlation? How is a woman or man choosing to end their engagement or marriage because they’re not feeling it anymore related to someone who has established a pattern of love bombing, gaslighting, future faking, and emotionally and sexually abusing several women?

First, seeing humility as subjective is a cop-out, evinces an ignorance of the word and further contradict yourself:
“wholly subjective to external factors that have nothing to do with you”??? — this is a pleonastic oxymoron.
You’re not well equipped for this conversation.
Personally: “humility” is an interesting concept, as it is wholly subjective to external factors ghat have little to do with you

The fact that it’s a “social experiment”, with the element of social interactions exponentially more stochastic than the elemental play of forces of relativistic/Newtonian mechanics, which can be in a controlled environment, is precisely why this should be ruthlessly criticized.
Plus, it’s an experiment - it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t succeed. But if it does, then that’s something powerful.
I personally have a lot of respect and empathy for people who try to do the often grueling job of social change in this place.
