- Child extreme poverty fell from 507 million (2014) to 412 million (2024).
- The number of child laborers dropped by over 100 million since 2000, even while the global child population grew by about 230 million.

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!

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."

if your Big Data person does NOT know what this picture means, get rid of them
ALT the famous "survivorship bias" diagram of an idealized PV-1 bomber viewed from the top with red dots around the tail, center fuselage, wing roots behind the engines, and outer edge wing tips. The US military wanted to use data from returning damaged bombers, the red dots signified damage they recorded, to determine what parts of the plane to uparmor. Statistician Abraham Wald realized that they were ONLY able to analyze the planes that RETURNED. Therefore the damage they were recording was ONLY that which could be sustained and allow the crew to safely return. The planes that had sustained fatal damage, the ones that really needed armor, didn't make it back to be recorded by the statisticians

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.

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.

Totally agree.
Hybrid culture is the hardest.
Works only with a very strict "virtual first" culture in my experience.
If you don't require this you get hybrid calls, and these are horrible (see link). The only thing worse isn't getting invited to the meeting in the first place because the co-located people had an impromptu chat and even forgot to tell you the outcome. about.gitlab.com/handbook/co…
