There are no good code metrics. There cannot be. The only thing that works to some degree is "expert opinion".

It’s myopic late stage greed.
Obviously. But to see that, the C-levels would need actual insight. Nobody with actual insight makes it to that level.
Probably. Will this work? Unlikely. But we need some poster cases of AI failing to keep somebody large alive and Meta is really no loss.
CI without local, not automatically updated repositories is pure insanity. These people are asking to get hacked via supply-chain attack. Looks like a lot of software creation is still done "cheaper than possible".
Let them freak out. It is not your problems that they use unsound practices and (mentally) lazy approaches.
Actually, the "new math" was quite useful to me. Some set theory and logic early on was very useful later in studying CS. But I am likely not very typical.
Appreciated nonetheless. Thanks.
Optics is *sensitive*
Indeed, it is. No idea why that statement got you moderated down.
If you can do that, just place a microphone. Seriously.
I think it is the other way round: Liberals are more in tune with reality. Also matches the results that conservatives are less intelligent.
Not that hard to do a little bit of thinking before you screw over your grand children.
Apparently impossible. And some people will gladly sacrifice the future of their children and grand children for a few pieces of silver.
Yep. Any really good teacher is significantly overqualified. It is not a surprise that many are in better paying jobs.
I'd suggest that it's not the Chromebook's fault, but rather, the lack of real effort to turn it into a teaching tool.
yes. The fact of the matter is that creating teaching content that works without a teacher teaching it is much, much harder. A prof that had 30 years experience with (classical) distance education gave me an estimate of 10x more effort, possibly higher. This is in addition to specific teaching skills being needed that are different from in-person teaching and it is no surprise that we do not have much good teaching content suitable for computer-based self-learning.
Again there are nuances. I do not know why Americans hate nuance so much but it's pretty deeply ingrained in our culture.
Well, nuances require insight and understanding. Simplistic and unsupported "I love xyz" or "I hate xyz" does not. Americans all think they are geniuses, when in reality most people are average in mental capability and the average is not that impressive. The cultural response in America is to deny reality and ignore things like nuances and details that make it clearer where you stand mentally. It gets replaced by grandiose language, grandstanding, deep unsupported beliefs and other cult-like behaviors.
There is a group of US citizens that have moved abroad and compare their cultural experiences on YouTube. They basically all find a strong disconnect between reality and self-image in American culture.
Obviously, stating such facts will get me moderated down. Because disagreeing changes reality. Right? Right?
Yes. But that level of reasoning is too complex for most people. Hence they say "screen", but what they really mean is a specific environment. Sure, the UI has some problems of its own, for example you learn better when handwriting things on paper (not in cursive though, that causes too much cognitive load) than when typing on a keyboard. But these effects are relatively small.
Or fake. The number "10" is highly suspicious in this context.
