* * * * * Dear LinkedIn, why are you still asking me these questions? LinkedIn [1] is still asking me to participate as an expert answering questions [2]—this time, “You're a system architect. How do you decide which programming languages to learn?” And just below that is “Powered by AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the LinkedIn community.” Sigh. Eu tu, LinkedIn? I'm still tempted to answer, but no. I can't just bear to answer this how I would want to answer it. Besides, if you know where to look, you might find my answers anyway.
