Jeez, who edited this?? 😕

I see long methods. Some of those dig through a cognition complexity to get a simple thing done. (get() can be a very long algorithm) Other methods I see, dig through a cognition complexity and then delegate to another cognition complexity. Cognition complexity is a new word for an old thing. It was called "workaround "before. So, what is making it complicated? Complication is, when the concept lacks or does not fit the problem.

To the editor: Failure to show the relevant images during the talk will frustrate the online audience if the are just a little bit like me. To the speaker: Great talk. History lesson - Old days are primitive and not living up to the standards of today.

The value of the presented material is greatly diminished by the idiot videorecording/editing that largely focused on showing the presenter’s face without giving a damn in many cases about showing the information on the screen. I hope at least they provided closed captions for those that need it, because vision isn’t served well by this video editing.

Nowadays it is about emotions and not content.

“Shifting the burden”. Just thinking about trump now and how the government has the same issue.
