I am an optimist, so I may have a skewed view; I put X amount of my own money into the project, which I sold after 2 years, I sold my end for X, so I made my initial investment back. During the time I actually operated the place I worked 60-100 hours a week I made roughly 50k/ year, which is obviously a loss because I could have worked a "normal" job, and made the same for much less hours, but imo I came out ahead because I learned more than a lot of people who pay 6 figures for their college degrees.

This was going to by my question, is brute force a skill? Who is better off,

Y = person who can brute force a problem, and solve it 100% of the time but takes Z amount of time/effort to do so

X= person who can elegantly solve a problem quickly W% of the time, but gives up very quickly if problems arise

when does

Y * Z < X * W

and

Y * Z > X * W

(solve for all variables)
