Now just go pound sand. Seriously. And you owe me 5 minutes of my life wasted on reading the whole thing.

My god, I would have thought all those “simplification” ideas die off once you have 3 years of experience or more. Some people won’t learn.

P. S. Guess even the most brilliant people tend to have dumb ideas sometimes.

Conversely, I'd argue most brilliant people tend to have more dumb ideas than others, usually on oddly specific topics which most people would find inconsequential.

It's true. Smart people tend to have a lot of novel ideas, most of which are going to be retarded. Most people just have no ideas.
