Today I'll be exploring this AMD Athlon XP computer, made by Time UK (also known as Time Computers) in 2003 (how the heck is that 22 years ago!!??).
This is exactly the spec machine is used to repair and upgrade for my computers when I ran a computer shop in the early 2000's🧵

People literally need to arm themselves and organize yesterday

Outside that we're waiting on members of the military with some kind of integrity left to organize a literal coup. It sounds dramatic but that's the kind of state the US is now

People are waiting on the 2026 elections, but there's little reason to believe they will be allowed to happen, that or they will be interfered with. There's no guaruntee the executive will have to care about congress

Most software engineers have the wrong focus.

They focus on efficiency rather than effectiveness.

What's more important? Solving a $ problem with 99.999% efficiency or solving a $$$ problem with 90% efficiency?

My question likely made someone recoil. Big O-notation is taught in college. You hear the horror stories about systems crashing due to 10x nested loops.

So yes. Efficiency does matter. It just matters less since there are infinite wants and scarce people+time to solve all them.
