My profession is in programming. Initially, my dad tried to teach me Javascript. It was a struggle and couldn’t get it.

A few years later, I took up computer science in college and that’s where it all clicked: I can imagine the end result. It’s a matter of being curious and finding (or I daresay… hacking) my way to that conclusion. Programming languages have a very funny way of allowing you to do just that. In studying computer science, I discovered the art of engineering all kinds of software-based solutions.

Because my way of solving problems is more deductive than inductive, I have to consciously build foundational knowledge and routines. Constant learning and insatiable curiosity is required for me to identify when my hunches are wrong and discard them accordingly.

      LOL I mean I can probably say the same thing and I gotta tell you. It’s amazing the people out there that want to:

      1. Control the narrative of the data
      2. Suppress the data

      I’ll use just a simple example of tracking incidents in your organization. It’s so polarizing like people how do you expect to improve if you can’t acknowledge your faults?

      Extrapolate that to the current political climate.
