I have been thinking about it lately, and decided to ask GPT-4. I further asked it to convert it into a fancy HTML, which I copy/pasted on codesandbox.io and shared here.
Would love to see what other folks think about the subject.

Death is "Merg" in Farsi, which sounds similar to "morgue". You're correct about "ast".

Ask HN: What mental models you found useful in delivering impact as an engineer?
I hear people talking that it takes more than great programming skills for an engineer to be successful (particularly at fast moving tech companies). As an engineer, I have learned certain mindsets that have helped me do better in my work. For example: 1) an average to a problem well understood can potentially deliver bigger impact than a great solution to a problem poorly understood, 2) not...

Ask HN: How do you stay focused when working on hard problems?
When working on hard problems, which might encompass unknown number of sub-problems, I often find myself procrastinating. Harder the problem, severer the procrastination. A psychology professor says that a person typically fails to begin a project when there is "confusion about what the first steps of the task are" [1].When working on hard problem, you're bound to hit tasks of which you won't...

NYT has a history of hiring engineering rockstars. I believe creators of libraries like BackboneJS, UnderscoreJS, and D3 were at NYT when they had invented those amazing pieces of work.

If I were you, I'd work on setting a good image of my own self, or of my agency, instead of attempting to change image of an entire country.
I'd work hard to sharpen my skills. I'd find some way so let the world know about my skills. It could be through blogging, or through contributing in open source software, or any other way. When looking for clients, I'd find good clients who appreciate quality work (not every client cares about quality and not price). I'd work hard to build good work relationships with those clients. One good relationship goes a long way.

Also, if it was because of "logically constructed" languages, how'd many fundamental concepts of mathematics would develop in India, including concept of zero?

Wow! That's a big generalization. Silicon Valley is full of top notch developers with Indian origin. Similarly, you can find plenty of mediocre non-Indian developers everywhere. If I've to blame anything, I'd blame lack of systems, than entire language family.

Hi,Job hunting is isn't easy for most of us. There are several tools available which can be used for the purpose, but some might be more effective than others. It's worth finding out what has worked for others before investing your time in any of them.
