Not a developer myself, I work in finance and work with developers from time to time. From my experience the issue is developers assume because they have some sense of self evaluated expertise in whatever they do they also can extrapolate that expertise in things they have absolutely no clue about.
“entropy is the log of the number of states that a system can be in that are consistent with all the information known about that system”. he is amazing at explaining things.
yeah if you've switched sectors then you clearly did not get the "secret sauce" lol
ok thank you this. To all the people that has doubted their own pseudo science skepticism every time this book comes up here at HN- you may be relieved as it doesnt work if you have a structural cause for the pain.
