  • because people look for indicators they recognise to assess intelligence and you don’t fit their mental model as easily.

    you could be cynical and say much of that presentation is manipulated and not a reliable indicator of intelligence, it’s just that intelligent people are usually better at controlling their signals - unless they have difficulties with social nuances like us. you could also just shug and say you’re different and they don’t get it for a while, and that’s fine too.

    everyone is lazy and uses shortcuts to interpret a complex world. when you’re different the shortcuts don’t work and people make mistakes. they’re also being lazy 🦥


  • I work in a company with other people. it’s not a good idea to have an idea where you have to specialise in a range of things to be successful. I specialise in programming.

    also, those benchmarks translate to better user experience which means they actually use our product, and lower hosting costs.

    frameworks and patterns reduce bugs and let us create features quickly. it’s important, if you think it’s pointless maybe it’s not for you. if you want to go do a startup instead, good luck.
