Hätte, hätte... die Bundesregierung anlässlich der #Rentenreform 1992 beschlossen, fortan immer 0,25% der Steuereinnahmen des Vorjahres in ein globales #Aktien-Portfolio à la MSCI World zu investieren: Bis heute wäre ein Kapitalstock von 126 Mrd. Euro entstanden!

I wish AI researchers wrote highly readable blog posts (not research papers) with code (instead of math formulas) and gifs showing demos.

We are really excited to have again our first in person event after a looong break ☺️😺✨✨🔥💥☄️❤️

Eine fast schon beängstigende Grafik aus dem @handelsblatt über die Entwicklung der Patentanmeldungen in Europa/USA/China. Wo wir in einigen Jahren stehen, das kann sich jeder vorstellen, der diesen Chart mal einige Jahre weiter zeichnet. Oder wachen wir in DACH doch noch auf?

Developers about them self:
"... suffering from strong imposter syndrome and feel like I don't know anything!"

Researcher about developers:
"Typically, effort estimates are over-optimistic and there is a strong over-confidence in their accuracy."

@RobertReiz For me spotlight worked again after some hours after the upgrade. Felt like it did rebuild its index.

Most underrated #JavaScript feature:

debugger;

Ironically, it seems that especially many senior devs who are new to frontend JavaScript seem to be not aware of it.

@catalinmpit Me at university: I will be able to build awesome AI-based apps within a few weeks.

University: Let's start with this theoretical prove that compilers in general work.

Never forget:

Long term consistency always beats short term intensity.

Especially true for coding.
