Perhaps they should learn to code.

[Repeat Offender]

Please no! Anything these morons code, or contract to have coded for the government is usually crap.

[EasySt]

Great read!

It’s gonna be a riot, AND a circus. ;-)

I approve.

[Big Red Badger]

Ducttape? HEY, THAT’S ME!!!! Can I get paid for the use of my chat name here on FR?? LOL

No.

Now if you were ducttape47...

[ducttape45]

Ohhhhh, ok, you got me there. Still, Ducttape45 has to account for something. It WAS the beginning you know......

One would think so...

“The simple fact is that there exists a very small group of incredibly high-function, insanely productive people. It’s the dirty secret of the world. This tiny tribe conceives, invents, and builds basically everything novel. All of it. They are not normal people. They are the 0.1%.

Unless you have worked with them, around them, been a part of what they do, you simply lack a reference for what they are like. It’s essentially inconceivable how much such people can get done when they set their minds to it, how many rules they will disprove, break, or ignore, and how many paradigms they will upend.”

this is 100% correct!

“ people like this avoid government like it was a bag of plague rats”

They are right.

[AndyJackson]

They can’t compete. They have no job skills.

That’s a REALLY good article! Encouraging.

“plenty of people stand up and say “I can help!” and the standard answer is — ‘Sit down. No one asked for help. We don’t want your help. We’re not here to fix anything. Shut up.’”

Bongino said that about the Secret Service. People are chastised for suggesting improvements. He says their motto is, “Yesterday’s technology tomorrow”, it’s so bad.

Loved this:

“They have no fricking idea what’s coming.”
