I used to be a language lawyer. In the late 80s I _studied_ the ARM (Annotated Reference Manual for C++). I knew the language cold, inside and out. I could make it do backflips. I shipped a lot of code using it. A LOT.
I’ve attacked other languages with a similar intensity and depth. Until recently, that was simply the only way to become adept at building software systems.
I now consider the deep understanding of a language to be a supreme waste of time and effort. I don’t want to learn Rust, or Golang, or Typescript, or any of the thousands of other languages out there. I’ll leave that to my agents.
What I need now is to understand the high level gestalt of the system. I want to see the systems and subsystems. I don’t need to inspect the cogs. If I truly need to understand a detail at the cog level, I’ll interrogate my agents. I’m not going to pretend to be a language expert anymore.

Joel Glazer was once so hands-on as owner and co-chairman that he would speak to executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward “several times a day” about the day-to-day business at Old Trafford.
One ESPN source said Joel was so involved in the club’s daily operations that he even had the final say on expenses as trivial as paint orders for the Old Trafford maintenance team.
Joel also vetoed plans to furlough United staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, insisting that employees remain on full pay despite the cost to the club [@MarkOgden_]
