This nitwit brought EVs to the mass market! And build a re-usable spaceflight platform that even the most powerful nation states can't rival! And helped found the world's leading AI lab!
One could easily argue the opposite too no? That new generations are surrounded by the effects of the breaking down of gender roles, and are looking to the past/other societies for an alternate model.
I am quite sure that “break down of gender roles” happened so long ago that modern person doesn't really understand that the whole experience of the world is different in a different era or place. They picture themselves as they are, only in clothing they are familiar with from media products or history book illustrations.
Say, you are in a traditional agricultural society in less than perfect climate. Then you have to sweat your guts out working on crops as much as they need, each year, from childhood to the old age. It's not an option, it's not a choice. Illness or “feelings” are not an excuse. And then bad weather can turn the hard work of many months into almost nothing.
Say, you are in a traditional patriarchal family. It is a solid productive unit, not an association of “individuals”. If it is good, it's good, if it is bad, it's bad. Everyone shares the fate. Of course, there are many possible ways for the person to act, but the frame that define the common base for all actions is set in that manner.
Even more so, the description of people as “individuals” that have “feelings” have itself appeared not so long ago, in a specific age and place. Different ones need people who think differently.
A lot of it is pretty related to company internals and is tooling specific. At a large company there is a lot of infra and tooling that can break in all kinds of fun ways, quality is very mixed, so helping the team become experts in this is very useful for productivity and unblocking oneself.
I see people on other teams that seem to be stuck for days sometimes, on a really basic error that they haven’t really tried to debug at all. Seriously, just read the error message or dig into the code!
My team also has a strong culture of just pushing code changes. This is including tons of deletions and simplifications, it’s not just writing a million lines of code.
It’s also a very senior team, so I can’t take credit for everyone’s growth from junior engineers. Another part of it is creating an environment that productive senior coders want to join, so that they can avoid process-heavy teams and get stuff done.
There is an extreme level of trust on the team because everyone is senior and frankly extremely good at their job, which allows us to be even more productive.
Not the OP but I relocated to Barcelona from New York City a year ago and my dating life has never been healthier or funner. Women here are the most open of anywhere I've been in the world. Now dating a young Russian artist who's very sweet and easygoing and I wish I'd moved here 4 years earlier.
I pray to god to be a nitwit like that.
