That's just a retelling of the Hammerstein-Equord quote
Not quite the same thing. A students are specialists who know how to solve problems in a specific way. C students are generalists who are open to solving problems in different ways. Entrepreneurs should always be generalists who hire specialists to perform specific job functions.
Creimer's multiple Associate Degrees are paying off, fool.
I got a General Education A.A. degree in 1994 because I skipped high school and didn't know what I to do with my life. After I started my technical career as a software tester in 1997, I went back to school to get a Computer Programming A.S. degree in 2007 for FREE with a $3K tax credit that George W. signed into law after 9/11.
He doesn't need an advanced degree because he knows the secret is to get a new Associate Degree every few years to keep them fresh.
Next degree will probably be a project management certification in the next five to ten years.
Robert Kiyosaki has a book called "Why 'A' Students Work for 'C' Students and Why 'B' Students Work for the Government", where A students (graduates) work for C students (dropouts) and B students (everyone else) work for the government. You don't need a college degree to own the corporate ladder, you just need to hire people who are smarter than you.
I'm currently halfway through a five-year contract in Government IT to provide security remediation. Just about everyone has 20+ years of experience in IT. Other than a few Raspberry Pi hackers, the team doesn't have any real hackers. Security remediation was 70% we when got started. It's now 95% and pushing towards 99%. .
Anyway, because/. is mostly regulars, you can expect that 60/day to taper off to 5/day in two months, to maybe 1 a day a year from now./. is dying, because new blood that comes here doesn't stay, and the existing regulars are dwindling in number.
The Slashdot clicks to my websites has increased for the last four months. The Amazon clicks has averaged 85 per day for the last two months. I think there are more lurkers than commentators on Slashdot.
It's ironic to cite Zuckerfuck when you're talking about the founding of web companies being accompanied by betrayal.
The Zuckerberg quote came from the book. He tried several times to buy Twitter. Even Al Gore tried to buy Twitter. For a company that had no revenue model for years, a lot of people wanted to buy it.
Not sure what that book has to do with recent stagnate growth.
Twitter was an accident. The founders were more interested in being CEO for their own benefit. They burned through years of investors' money before they got around to figuring out a revenue model. And they can't even take advantage of a tweet-prone POTUS who makes headline daily. Unbelievable.
Let me guess: you'll frame your 30 clicks a day on your shitty blog as being more successful than Twitter, right?
That's 30+ clicks to my blog and another 30+ clicks to my author website from Slashdot per day. Thank you for your support.
Jack Dorsey is worth two billion dollars.
You mean the founder who kicked out the founder who thought up the idea for Twitter, who later got kicked out as CEO, and came back to Twitter as CEO with a Steve Jobs complex? Yeah, a total douche bag.
If you ever read "Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal" by Nick Bilton, you would know how appalling that the founding of Twitter was. Mark Zuckerburg has a great quote in the book: "[Twitter founders] drove a clown car into a gold mine and fell in." It's not really surprising that Twitter had zero growth from riding Trump's pants legs.
The price point is right for the high-end quad-core (four threads) Ryzen 3 at $129, as I usually don't spend more than $300 on a motherboard/processor/memory combo. However, the performance gain from the eight-core AM3 processor that I have isn't that great at 10%. It would probably be better to spend the extra $40 on the low-end quad-core (eight threads) Ryzen 5.
Their bread and butter in the mid-2000's was IBM Help Desk, which had long since faded away. They brought me back in for a Dell PC refresh project.
How did Silicon Valley survive all those years?
The contracting agency was located in Hebron, KY, so Silicon Valley wasn't their main focus. They provided me with great references for the last 10+ years.
If everyone gets roughly the same numbers, a numerical ranking is meaningless. If everyone else gets a "99", and you get "100", you aren't some special human even though you're "top three". You're just part of the herd.
As I pointed out to someone else, my numbers routinely get low balled on Slashdot. This quote is a perfect example, where I went from the top three to being "part of the herd."
When I got ranked last year, I was in the top three with 10,000+ items remediated. Coworkers ranked 4th to 30th had less than 5,000 items remediated. There's a 5,000 point gap between the stallions and the herd.
Your next job is your agency's problem; not yours.
It's extremely rare for me to work serial assignments for one contracting agency. When a contract ends, I have to work for a different contracting agency. I did two assignments for one contracting agency that were ten years apart.
In discussions on "contracting" we need to maybe not lump in W2 employees working for a contract house..that is NOT true contracting in the legal or fiscal sense.
In 20+ years of contracting, I've never met an IT contractor who wasn't also a W2 employee for a contracting agency. Most 1099 contractors are probably consultants.
Kinda sad...feel entitled, want socialism....fundamentally want to change the US from what made it a great and powerful country to date....nah...let's cut back on the young for a bit....
A good book to read is "The Richest Man In Babylon" by George S. Clason. If you can set aside 1/10th of your earnings and reduce your wants, you will grow rich in time.
A story that my father told me... Someone asked a millionaire during the Great Depression to divide up his wealth and give to every American. The millionaire handed that person a dime for his share of the millionaire's wealth..
The problem that most people have is that they want to live the American Dream of having it all. Unfortunately, having it all in Silicon Valley gets very expensive in a hurry. It's possible to live in Silicon Valley if you're willing to live a modest lifestyle. But you will have to put up with all the people who think you're "poor" for not blowing every paycheck out the wazoo.
Large companies outsource their IT labor to contractors and those contractors get a sub-standard wage and no health benefits.
I've been contracting for the last 20+ years. Contracting agencies started offering full benefits after ObamaCare got passed in 2010 to comply with the law and stay competitive with each other to attract the best employees. If a recruiter offered me a contract job without benefits, I would laugh in their face.
Contract workers are just a way for Facebook to shirk their responsibilities.
Most Silicon Valley corporations are structured to contract everything out except engineering and management. The days of being an lowly employee in the right place and time to get rich from an IPO are long over.

As long as he looks like a young recent grad on paper, creimer is golden like the rooster that laid the golden cock egg.
That's why I don't list my 1994 A.A. degree or the 2000-ish dates for my Windows/A+/Network+ certifications.

You're an annoying, irritating, ankle-biting pest most of the time.
I don't like my critics either.
But every once in a while you come up with something insightful, or even important to say. This was one of those comments.
You're welcome!

Narcissistic sociopaths say that.
That could explain why I'm always in the top three for getting my numbers.
