You jest, but intelligence is normally distributed. 2x as many people means 2x as many geniuses working to improve ad delivery at tech companies! (Well except for the ML PhDs, they get to work on AI projects, but everyone else, back to the ad delivery mines!)

Code is one of the best books in the field, I read the 1st Ed as a freshman in college and it was basically gave me 2 years of CS theory in 1 book, make all my freshman and sophomore classes really easy. Petzold has been an amazing author for 30+ years, he used to be MSFTs go-to guy.

Reading the Nexus Trilogy has made me realize how separate science fiction is from contemporary religious themes. Sci-fi can have fictional religious themes of course, but this is the first time I've ran into anything religious in a decade+, (outside of just window dressings in TV/movies)
