What are accomplishments of tall.skinny vs short.fat engineers?
Linux was driven by Linus T, javascript by Brendan E, Apple by 2 Steve’s, etc.
Innovation and creativity are more highly valued, which are byproducts of short.skinny type.
Most of the innovations in computers and tech are direct results from military arms research.
Silicon Valley didn’t just sprout from nothing. There were lots of engineers in the area that worked to support military contract making weapons, and their kids started computer companies.
The gut is often called the second brain, and lots of mental health issues like anxiety, depression, stress, etc can be greatly helped by improving diet and healthy gut.
It’s criminal that medical establishments are controlled by pharmaceutical companies and establishment media spreads prescription drug propaganda.
Everyone needs to do their own research about gut health and direct impacts to physical and mental health.
Simply look around any tech center company and look around. It’s mostly younger crowd. The graybeards are few and far between and in mostly few senior roles.
Even transferring to middle management doesn’t help much. The same type of younger crowd are brought in to keep up the appearances. The olds are few and far between in director and up roles.
It’s simple reality that happens, there’s an age cutoff, and it’s not as old as people think. It’s definitely not the official retirement age.
Keeping up with latest tech stack helps. Moving up the seniority levels helps. Moving from company to company helps.
Entrepreneurship helps, you as owner can hire yourself, but you’ll most likely hire younger people for your company, which perpetuates the ageism cycle.
It should give insights into anyone contemplating thoughts about replacing JavaScript with X technology.
JavaScript is the most popular and deployed full stack platform. It simply works with web workflows and development patterns. All the issues with JavaScript are trivial and new features and frameworks are available to overcome most issues.
Adtech allows people and businesses to find products and services they want and need. Gives consumers choice in discovery and businesses reach and targeting customers in need.
At fundamental level, Adtech is there to help people. That and the many business opportunities are why so many talented people work in Adtech.
Most of the important software, that run Trillions of dollars in online economy, have dependencies in ancient tech. No one wants to work in that jumble, and updating has failed in one way or another.
Google ACH and ask why it’s takes several days to transfer money from bank to bank.
The existing anti trust rules are enough to push these monopolies to stop the anti competitive activities. Just like anti trust rules were used against Microsoft many years ago, which opened door to online competition like Amazon, Google, Apple etc.
