Yuval Noah Harrari, in his book Sapiens, said, “Consistency is a playground of the dull minds.” In recent years, I, for one, fell victim to this classic trap of consistency — safe job, smooth daily life, and no need to get out of the comfort zone.

In 1965, Gordon Moore, cofounder of Intel, famously stated that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles in about two years. That is to say, computing power doubles every two years. While this a very exciting achievement for engineers and computer scientists alike, it has produced nothing but idiocy on the part of developers and device manufacturers.
