I think reality is more complicated than a one size fits all approach. It's going to be specific to your org, your project, the stage it's at etc. To add to that, the right thing to do is often in flux.

Dedicated capacity is necessary, as is embedding. Not always at the same time or in that order. That's where only the information found inside the walls of your organisation can help you decide what is necessary to solve your problem.

You're welcome.

Sorry, but this just comes off as so ableist.

The ecosystem is definitely growing in the last 5 years too since open source has been embraced by MS and the community.

The major rewrite of .NET -> .NET Core and then now renaming it back to .NET again is good in that it's a much better framework now, bad in that it's turning out like Python 2 vs Python 3. Huge projects just can't upgrade, so old .NET Framework stuff is sticking around longer than it should.

Want to stay as far away from that dynamic as possible. It's garbage and always will be.

マンコ is pussy and ビッチ (bitch) is slut. So, it's like "nice to meet you, I'm pussy slut" and then handing someone a business card.

I remember seeing it come up as example of unfortunate foreign names in Japanese when watching some variety program once. I cracked up pretty hard at that one. Though I've encountered a doozy in real life too, though it escapes me exactly what it was now.

We chose not to though with our son though, since the list of names that works in both is small and largely unappealing. The list of names for girls is quite a bit larger with some good options. Instead we decided that since the family name is English the given name should be Japanese.

I think it worked out quite well.

Not true, for what some people want is power and they continuously dish out money to get it.

It's often used as a vector to create a lot of the world's problems. I'm pretty happy to see it used the other way. A win is a win.

It's both fluid and crystalized intelligence that are required.

The better you can pattern match the faster you will be able to acquire crystalized intelligence by being able to connect the dots and you'll likely be able to leverage superior pattern matching abilities to utilize less crystalized intelligence to draw the same conclusions in certain cases. But if you have no or very little crystalized intelligence in the domain you're trying to problem solve in then you aren't going to get very far.

It's very much a combination of the two.

What you're pointing out is that crystalized intelligence is what matters.

Fluid intelligence mediates the ability to gain crystalized intelligence.

Higher IQ in theory means you should get further faster. Though even without if you are dedicated enough to obtain the same level of crystalized intelligence you might be able to do so. I suspect at some point the cognitive ceilings are different, but who knows by how much.

Turns out it's really just different strokes for different folks and everyone's inner world operates in a way that they absolutely require certain things and absolutely should avoid certain others. It's just different for everyone.

I worked out I needed to stop listening to other peoples advice before I became aware of any executive dysfunction, because I realized that other people's advice barely matched up with my personal experience and was largely useless, so I should simply stick to trying things and seeing what works for me vs what doesn't.

I get the feeling the range of inner world's is much more vast and varied than people truly realize. Wish there was a good way to calibrate for that.
