And it goes beyond just programming. The leaders/artists that know their shit and really cares as much as humanly possible (e.g.
@elonmusk ) always have a competitive edge over ones that has no idea and only care about shallow vanity (e.g. [insert incompetent leaders that came into your mind]) in a REAL game/market.
However, if the game/market degenerated into loudest and fastest one get to garbage dumping to overtake mindshares, the game is not worth playing.
