It's a fun read, but the end is a bit wild imo.

I think the reason for needlessly complex software is, that at some point a developer with a really high IQ is need (the famous 10x).

We needed a lot programmers, so the relative number of those guys went down.

And to be honest I think those people dont even do well in corporate environments. Imo the most successful people there have like 110 and can really enjoy senseless discussion in useless meetings

Excel is great if you don’t care if the answers you get are right. I think about that time I have a talk in NYC where there was an error in a chart because I made it with Excel but only found out when I gave the talk in Ithaca later and had somebody really detail oriented in the audience.
