Inefficient software comes from unnecessary complexity, which in turn comes from improved hardware allowing programmers to be less resourceful, businesses choosing profits over simplicity, complex human organizations moving their complexity into the code, programmers choosing frameworks over doing it from scratch, pseudo-science like "clean code", and from complexity reinforcing itself into more complexity.

German art students are very hot, but they also have very bad health habits. I don’t know if the former tricks you into potentially having to handle the latter, or if the latter prevents you from getting too drawn towards the former… Either way, beware!!
Actually good mainstream music (not the kind that aims for the lowest common denominator…) somehow feels more interesting and complete than more ”niche”/alternative/nerdy music. It’s simple but powerful. It can’t hide behind references, genres or serving fans what they expect. It has to strike something deeper inside people to work.

Don’t do what others do, and don’t go against them either. Just do your thing.

And the speedrun WR of EPISODE 3 (https://notacarclub.kbrecordzz.com/game3) is: 18m 15s (also by me, but I was distracted by the story so lots of improvement potential here)

I've written so much parody on business culture, and it's hard to fit it all onto my characters. Funny things get left over because O'Malley has to be balanced and believable (not just a walking joke). He can't believe in all the agile methodologies and have all the bad takes because that's funny, he also has to mistrust Scrum for the benefit of Lean and have some decent takes for the silly stuff to actually matter.

But it's culture, mostly on the internet, with its low barrier to entry that lets amateurs take over, that spreads the problem by making us believe it isn't a problem and that we actually need the complexity.
