- lol at Kevin Roose smashing together three different bits of marketing collateral for three different models into one sentence
- Would love to hear him explaining "refactor a code base" then show me where that happened
Having a PhD and winning a Math Olympiad are 2 very different achievements. I tried to do Math Olympiads as a kid and basically anybody advancing to the national level is on a different plane of existence, even compared to the relatively gifted kids competing in first place.

PhDs on the other hand are less a product of raw unfiltered talent and more a long slow process of proving yourself to be able to produce additions to your field that are of a sufficient quality.
