thanks for the lecture, but I already have a garage full of hobbies (to which I apply computer optimization techniques) and a family (to whom I've tried, but failed, to apply computer optimization techniques). I read for fun, etc, but I don't think any of that is going to change my mind.

It's not all bad.

If you can stop yourself from finding faults with everything, thinking about life in terms of complex systems is not a terrible idea.

One day, I read a foodback (a feedback suggestion) at Google from Jeff Dean. He told the food people they could turn a buffet line into two lines by letting people go down the other side at the same time, doubling throughput.
