"copy-paste is free; abstractions are expensive."

Code is law.

Found this weird control flow option in Python where you can use else clause in a for or while loop and it executes, if the loop finishes without executing the break.

letters = ['a', 'b', 'c']
looking_for = 'a'

for letter in letters:
    if letter == looking_for:
        print('Found the letter!')
        break
else:
    print("Didn't find the letter.")

AI can save lives

1. Make requirements less dumb: Question requirements to remove unnecessary work

2. Delete a part or process: Delete parts or processes that are unnecessary

3. Simplify and optimize: Take a holistic view of the project and simplify or optimize the design

4. Accelerate cycle time: Move faster in the right direction, but only after the first three steps are satisfied

5. Automate: Automate everything that can be automated

Junior dev trainings be like.

Irrational self belief.

Damn!
"Attention is All You Need" ( Transformers Paper) was inspired by the Alien's communication style in the movie Arrival.

When?

Can Europe build its first trillion-dollar start-up?
Can Kenya Build its first billion dollar startup?
Can Ethiopia build its first 100 million dollar startup?

When?

Or is it only the US and China that will truly and effectively accelerate going forward?

Where Asia leapfrogged and leads the West.

ie. The world will learn the art of 10 minute delivery from India.
