Okay. Thanks for the nerd snipe guys. I spent the day learning exactly how DeepSeek trained at 1/30 the price, instead of working on my pitch deck. The tl;dr to everything, according to their papers:

This guy lived in the 1500s. So he had to learn all the physics before Newton, all the philosophy before Descartes, all the music before Bach, all the chemistry before Lavoisier. This guy knew less than the average modern high school student

Nobody with an IQ over 130 has algo pull. Their posts are too niche. Nobody understands them. They never go viral. I think the cutoff is 300 followers. If you have more than that, you are a midwit

The way I envision Google: Some manager MBA type decides a product is a good idea. Then two 130 IQ devs throw C++ at it while hundreds of 150 IQ devs pretend to work. Every day, the manager rolls three six-sided dies, and if they are all 1, they cancel the project.

“I know a million CS grads who can’t do _____” Computer science is a decentralized mess of applied math, networking protocols, and design principles haphazardly collected over the past 50 years. It doesn’t and shouldn’t have a “canon” of key parts that everyone should know

Rust was designed for people good at coding but bad at math. Python was designed for people good at math but bad at coding. Haskell was designed for people that are good at both. JavaScript was designed for people that are good at neither.
