Competitive programming skill. Just right click any where on Win11 and see how slow the menu will pop up. 100 of thousands Microsoft employees and NONE of them can make thing work faster.
If I open a menu and press a direction button 5 times (e.g. to move between menus) because my muscle memory has learned that the thing I want is at that position, then why tf is the game ignoring those 5 button presses just because there was some slow ass fade-in animation happening?
CP just teaches some familiarity with DSA/algorithms, and there's much more to perf than DSA. Even assessing algorithmic performance requires real benchmarks and profiling, while the complexity analysis people do in CP disregards other factors like hardware, architecture, format, and other abstractions. Squeezing perf via DSA is much more easier/straightforward, people don't need to grind CP to learn that
> There is now a large body of evidence showing that studying worked examples is a more effective and efficient way of learning to solve problems than simply practicing problem solving without reference to worked examples (Paas & van Gog, 2006).
Mathematicians RIP.
Math texbook: Here are worked examples after the chapter. Worked by you. Enjoy your homework!
If one can afford to buy extra supplements to eat everyday, probably can also afford to buy a car to drive around and die more often in car accident than who don't drive.
Doing real stuff vs just talk. The Universe do not coherent with your thought experimental result from philosophy e.g. quantum mechanics, black hole, etc. Scientific discoveries have provided people evidence to pursue science, but what about philosophy? What is your evidence to prove that you have value?
Actually, approaching problems after thorough consideration as opposed to narrow consideration. The value is "having thought about it" - and it does not need a long theorem.
> In its most common sense, methodology is the study of research methods. However, the term can also refer to the methods themselves or to the philosophical discussion of associated background assumptions.
So I consider methodology philosophical in character. So I propose researching methodology from a unified philosophical foundation
> Instead of an engineer who’s an order of magnitude “better” than their peers, leaders should look for people who are willing and able to learn—and to help their whole team learn and execute, too.
No. Build a whole team with people who willing to learn new stuff around that rock star.
That's because I took it down over two years ago and moved most of the content to ada-lang.io when I set that up. This was an anecdotal blog post so it didn't get moved over.
