I'm unironically interested in trying it, but the ratios seem off at first glance. Too much crunch, not enough chew. Also the hot dog is already salty, so adding a salty pickle means you might need a sweet batter, and certainly more of it.
I think, much like a Chicago style dog, this could be amazing.
That's a pretty unfair characterization. He called out multiple times how it's fine for the other guy if that's what he wants, but that it's not his own specific wants. And his central thesis is fine: coasting is fine as long as you're going to be ok with where you coast to. If you want to be somewhere else then coasting is not fine - but it's up to you where you want to go.
In my experience, at first managing is always harder than doing it yourself, because you're usually put in charge of managing people who do what you used to do.
Have you ever been in a situation where you've had to do something at work, but you were hamstrung by your tools or timelines? Like, oh man this would be way easier in Python but you are only approved for MS office, so you have to struggle through some VBA. Or man, I could whip this together super fast in Ruby but for some reason this has to be in plain JavaScript. Or maybe you could make this really well, but not in the two day turnaround they need. All that is frustrating, but you usually find a way to perform given these imperfect scenarios.
Now, imagine VBA has feelings. You can't even really complain about VBA, because it's not malicious. It's just bad at its job. So now instead of quickly coding a workaround in a new language (but you learn fast so not the end of the world), you have to help someone get there and do it on their own. And you can't just do it for them because you have 4 VBAs. Oh, and by the way, JavaScript is malicious. It's actively trying to avoid work, or maybe trying to make VBA look bad. So now you have to convince JavaScript that it's in its best interest to work. Sometimes its a carrot, sometimes a stick, but you're responsible for getting functionality out, and it's more functionality than you could possibly create on your own.
That's what managing people is like. A deep desire to do it yourself because it will be better and faster, but you don't have time, and also you need these people to be better. So you have to learn to teach instead of do, and support emotionally and intellectually and motivate instead of just bitching to your manager when someone else isn't getting their work done and it's affecting your work - now you're responsible for getting their work to be good. It's really hard, and some people who were amazing achievers and doers can't hack it when they have to help other people achieve and do. It's why you have so many bad manager stories. The skillsets are nearly completely different.
The nice part though is when you get good enough at managing that you start managing people that do things you can't do, or do things better than you ever could. Suddenly there's some whiz kid straight out of college who knows more about data science from their degree than you did your whole career actuallydoing it, and all they really need help with is applying it. Then you start helping with vision and the "why" of things. "Yes, you could do it that way, but remember our actual end goal is X, so that's all we really care about." Or you help people work together to make a cohesive whole. That's when managing gets really rewarding. It can still be harder than doing, or it might be easier if you're a big picture thinker, but it gets different eventually.
A. It did, just only a few and the investigation will probably reveal not enough based on giant ships these days.
B. It was built before the Sunshine bridge collapse in 1980 so before the standards were updated.
I know you stopped responding but I'm piling on because I'm apparently in an impish mood:
Sherif El-Tawil, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at University of Michigan with expertise in bridges, said if the Key Bridge had been built after those updated standards from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials were put in place, the span could still be standing.
“I believe it would have survived,” El-Tawil said.

Also, huge portions of first gen Latinos in America use Whatsapp too - because it's what they're used to, to talk to family back home, etc. I worked with a immigration org for a bit and everything was Signal or Whatsapp.
I remember being in Spain in 04 (as an exchange student from America), and calls were so expensive on the prepaid phones everyone had, that they explained their whole system of using missed calls to communicate, because missed calls were free. So if you were gonna pick someone up at their house, they'd tell you "dame una perdida" and you'd just ring once then hang up when you were downstairs.
We also have numbers on discouraged workers. BLS publishes all of those numbers, it's not like they're a secret. It just tells you a lot less than the mainline number.
Also why I stopped playing. The part around level 50 where it forced me to do big multiplayer raids. Nah. I just wanted to be a master craftsman!
For me, combat in that game sucked compared to ESO. But the crafting was amazing!
Yeah also just the basic concept of sacrificial parts and things designed to wear. The derailleur hanger on your bike, crumple zones in cars, plastic gears in your KitchenAid mixer - lots of engineering practices are designed around shunting failure to a particular piece or in a particular way, to avoid otherwise catastrophic or very expensive damage.
You: "There is not a structure capable of being created by man which could sustain that amount of force, head on, and retain its structural integrity.
Actual engineers in the linked article: literally describe how to build secondary structures to deal with giant ships and prevent head on collisions on bridges.
I was mad at you for calling me a boomer but then I saw my wife's boobs so I feel better.
