Is it that hard? As a programmer, I’ve never seen anything on Faceblerk that made me go “wow! How did they do that?”
I kind of agree it’s a multiplier.
It’s definitely a force multiplier, it’s just that the factor after the X can be less than 1.0.
which famously can vary by 4 orders of magnitude
That’s why “Hiroshima” is now a unit. We’re lucky “Tsar Bomba” isn’t.

“If you’re doing business with a religious son of a bitch, Get. It. In. Writing. His word isn’t worth shit, not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal.” -William S. Burroughs, Words of Advice for Young People.
FWIW trump isn’t really religious, of course.
Just replace “togas” with “mass graves” and we’re good to go.
Shit, I remember when Nixon resigned. I also remember thinking that Nixon was as bad as Republicans could ever get.
I’m so old I remember when Facebork was just for young people.
My (nearly 80) uncle used to show me random Youtube videos and then other videos would start auto-playing. It was always beautiful young blonde women (real ones, this was before AI) spouting the standard right-wing talking points. He would say “see, she’s making a lot of sense” and I would ask him how it was that a blonde teenage girl had somehow arrived at the same “wisdom” that he had spent a lifetime accumulating. That actually made him think for a while, but he always forgot it by the next time around.
I still think it’s possible that in 2016 the Republicans told him they were hiring him to play the President in a mockumentary.
And yet for all of eternity we have had different numbers of hot dogs and hot dog buns.
My 401k would only ever be a supplement to Social Security. Fortunately the ruling party would never even dream of abolishing that.
/s of course. They used to say Social Security was the third rail of American politics – soon it will be the third leg.
I work with two lesbians who are (proudly) married and also diehard trumpers. No surprise at all: they hate black people.
Yeah, I should have put “leadership” in ironic quotes. Like they say: don’t step in the leadership.
this one is entirely driven by grifters with backgrounds in areas like Finance and Marketing
I worked for startups in the '90s and this describes all of them, too.
Not only have I (25 year programming vet) never had a CEO who could code, I’ve never had a CEO who thought he should be able to code. As a species, they tend to be proud of their leadership chops rather than their ability to actually do anything.
I’m gonna go patent Marxism lol. Maybe I’ll patent irony at the same time.
Bah. You’ll know he’s actually dead when it shows up on Polymarket.
In my 25 year career as a programmer, a majority of my coworkers did that kind of stuff just by showing up.
