I recommend reading the Cliff Notes for "The Origin of Wealth" (the full book is just too damn long). Sometimes product designs with a devout following still fail the product market fit test. Trying a bunch of things to see what

It may not seem it, but in many cases that is the artifact of a clear strategy. Evolution had left many corpses, too.

I've used both heavily. I think paradigm is the key word if you're thinking mind-expanding properties. While immutable types and combinators are less used in Typescript (you've got me there) you can certainly get 80% of the

It's a bit more nuanced than the no-pain-no-gain attitude toward exercise, too. We are fond of the saying, "worksheets don't build dendrites" around here. I think many institutions are set up as human proof-of-work veri
