If I may add, I found "useful magic" like discrete Fourier transforms, local linear approximations and homogenous differential equations as exciting examples to motivate students into the abstract theory of linear transformations
The article implicitly conditions the strategy space on remaining an employee (or an employee-equivalent contractor) of a tech company.
Somewhat surprisigly it omits the relatively common option of becoming a long term planner (a.k.a. "paper pusher"), whether in product or engineering.
The options space outside of the Borg includes the following areas:
- Becoming an engineering associate at a non technical organization, for example by automating or adapting standard tech tools to legacy industries.
- Becoming a researcher (whether in an engineering field or one that requires engineering ability, e.g. computational biology - warmly recommended, BTW)
- Starting your own business that creates platforms/business cases that would otherwise not exist.
I stopped reading at the early point the article asserted Bennett propelled himself to premiership though whatever policies he enacted.
This simply ignores the entirety of a 2 year long politicial crisis whose main actor was the former PM Netanyahu, and in which essentially nothing anyone else did mattered. Once Netanyahu was gone, it was a random twist of fate that brought Bennett ahead of at least 3 other parliamentary leaders.
