Are you improving every day? Or are you a sheep?

In life, you want to be a craftsman but you sometimes just need to be a tool. Many times, you have to be both to get the job done. For CEOs are tools to their customers, and that's just how it works.
I wonder what's adding the hyphens. From my quick glance at it, nothing that I saw added hyphens.
* { text-rendering: optimizelegibility; }
It appears to be a bug of some kind with the optimizelegibility property, although I don't know exactly why it's adding hyphens.
I did an 'inspect element', then meandered up to the head to look at what CSS there was. My jaw dropped. There's about 10K lines of CSS getting pulled in, all for the ads.
javascript:(function(){jQuery('*').css({'text-rendering':'auto'});})();
[Thanks Batsu http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1972150]But... "Would you be comfortable going to a physician if you learned they hadn’t read any new findings in years?"
When's the last time you went to a family doctor that stays up-to-date with life science research?
Like developers, I'm sure there are doctors who just do their 9-5 and go home, while others continue to study, attend conferences and discuss new techniques with other doctors. Also similarly it's hard for the people who hire them ("us") to differentiate between them unless we have domain specific knowledge or someone who does and we trust to recommend a good doctor.
This is the reality (and also what the article points to). Doctors who don't keep up are the sheep, the same as programmers that learn some stuff in college and spend decades in the corporate world building buzzword resumes. Doctors who do keep up are the cutting edge developers and entrepreneurs either making bazillions of dollars, making the word a better place, or at least being happy knowing you're one of those at the top instead on one of those to scared to climb the mountain.
I know your questions are not directed to me, but I just have to answer them: 1) No I wouldn't be comfortable going to a physician that's not well read and informed on the greatest and latest. My family of doctors also operated a series of medical book stores, which I managed for a few years and spent half the time reading the medical books. If a doctor can't answer the simplest things I got out of 5~10 year old books he should have in his library anyways, I'm leaving ASAP. 2) Last Tuesday. The Dentist is actually really well read. She always tells me about the new interesting stuff she's read.
