This is a great example of a place where you shouldn't use punc-quote formatting. There is no . key on the calculator, but that's not obvious while you're reading the article.
The CEO likely doesn’t give a hoot about HN’s opinion.
They probably care about their bonus and how it all advances themselves on their career path.
That doesn't sound anything like the priorities of a competent CEO. I think you're missing my point, too.
Why would that indicate the CEO is incompetent?
Doesn’t it stand to reason that management would and should take advantage of the whatever is happening in the wider scheme of things to advance their narrative, and that doing so is indicative of competence within their frame of reference?
I'm not sure you can really compare them. They're two different features with fairly different uses, it's just that one or two of those uses somewhat overlap.
text = """hello
world"""
will contain the intendation before world, while in Java: String text = """hello
world"""
will be equivalent to "hello\nworld".Hate to be a wet towel, since it is interesting. But does it actually mean anything?
Having recently jumped ship to a language/runtime that gives up to several orders of magnitude of performance speedup while maintaining similar verbosity, I appreciate the many opportunities this opens. I can write "lazy" code that pretty much always runs (way) faster than the stuff I used to carefully optimize. Perhaps the last metric I'd be interested in is the a number of bugs in the average codebase, and while I've seen language comparisons for that, I'm not sure whether to believe that they're accurate.
Anyway, traditional graphics APIs like OpenGL are practically single-threaded. Modern APIs like DX12 and Vulkan have been designed with multithreading in mind and support scaling with number of cores much better (with added overhead of having to do manual synchronization).
Unity has been introducing a lot of features (Job System, ECS) that make excellent use of parallelism. Additionally, a lot of the engine internals are being rewritten with that as a base (and some of the old features get patched with APIs that allow access from multithreaded jobs). It's a lot of fun when the code you write by default runs on all of the cores, with (almost) none of the usual parallel programming headaches.
Pretty soon you should start seeing all kinds of indie titles making use of those features.
No, if you are "the only" you are going to do that for the rest of your life.
Also, it is at odds with the second previous point "Hangout with, and learn from, people smarter than yourself". You can't have people smarter than yourself if you are the only.
And it is at odds with all the other points promoting sharing and generosity too. If you are the only, it means you didn't share your knowledge.
Just because you're "the only" doesn't mean you're the smartest person in the room. You might, however, have the knowledge in the right areas that makes you indispensable. For example, I often find myself to be the only person around with enough knowledge in the areas of graphics, design and programming to combine them effectively. I might not even be particularly talented in any of them, but very often I'll be the only person capable of knowing how to complete certain tasks.
