What I\u2019ve concluded, based on experience, is <a href=\"https:\/\/pointersgonewild.com\/2024\/04\/20\/the-alternative-implementation-problem\/\">that positioning your project as an alternative implementation of something is a losing proposition<\/a>. It doesn\u2019t matter how smart you are. It doesn\u2019t matter how hard you work. The problem is, when you build an alternative implementation, you\u2019ve made yourself subject to the whims of the canonical implementation. They have control over the direction of the project, and all you can do is try to keep up. In the case of JITted implementations of traditionally interpreted languages, there\u2019s a bit of a weird dynamic, because it\u2019s much faster to implement new features in an interpreter. The implementers of the canonical implementation may see you as competition they are trying to outrun. You may be stuck trying to ice skate uphill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional developer does thorough work when it matters,&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;cuts irrelevant corners that aren\u2019t worth wasting time on.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ometer.com\/2016\/05\/04\/professional-corner-cutting\/\">Extremely productive developers<\/a> don\u2019t have supernatural coding skills; their secret is to write only the code that matters.

The study (<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RTO.pdf\">PDF<\/a>), published this month by University of Chicago and University of Michigan researchers and reported by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2024\/05\/12\/rto-microsoft-apple-spacex\/\">&nbsp;The Washington Post<\/a>&nbsp;on Sunday, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the corporate overhaul by Noyes and his associates, husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames also worked closely with IBM to <a href=\"https:\/\/computerhistory.org\/blog\/ibm-and-the-transformation-of-corporate-design\/\">re-imagine the company for the 20th century<\/a>.

China has struggled to make good internal combustion engines, but the shift to EVs has allowed them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noahpinion.blog\/p\/the-big-tariffs-are-here\">leapfrog ICE vehicles entirely<\/a>. Since China dominates the battery industry, mastering EVs was easy. Kevin Williams has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/features\/719015\/china-is-ahead-of-west\/\">a long article<\/a>&nbsp;about the high quality of Chinese electric cars, which you should read despite the fact that it contains a fair share of histrionic hand-wringing \u201cWe\u2019re cooked\u201d, etc.). Williams\u2019 conclusion is spot on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We really don\u2019t know how the (Chinese) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cmm33rm32veo\">politburo think<\/a>,&#8221; one Western official concedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoubly tough and truly sad,\u201d Buckley said, because the city\u2019s history was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/story\/money\/business\/2024\/05\/15\/a-drug-cartel-in-mexico-invades-a-former-wisconsin-manufacturer\/72335120007\/\">interwoven with Hamilton<\/a>, and it was for a time one of the area\u2019s largest employers. \u201cFrustrating, too, for a city and workforce that put forth our best efforts to keep Hamilton manufacturing jobs here.

Letby was the only nurse with an uninterrupted line of X\u2019s below her name.
