And the "feel" on the steering wheel is also there.
This works due to regulation, training, and an honest evaluation of every incident that forces changes in the system.
To move fast, you have to be willing to break things. When you go "agile" in software, you write a lot of crap that has to be thrown away. Same with weapons development, if you want to go fast and try ideas then some of them will not work. Will Not Work. That is intolerable to the procurement organization, because spending money on something that does not work is also known as "corruption".
Risk / Reward has to be changed by society. A war will do that.
At the practical level, I would suggest the Redhat Realtime linux tuning guide. It covers practical ways to identify and remove latency and jitter from your system.
My experience with the RH realtime kernel is 120 hz is usable. 60 hz can be very good. Of course, YMMV....
LAMP was a term from the 1990's.
that extra space is a closet in my specific case.
There will be a custodian of these documents, and they will have a record of someone removing these from a storage container, but not returning them.
The custodian, at a minimum, would be aware of the changing classification of these documents. The authority that originally classified the material would also be aware, because the fact this information is no longer controlled is very important to the work they do.

More storage than you thought possible. And it was widely used for about 10 years.

someone should ask a few HN questions instead of leetcode. "who is dang"? "did you read the latest from the lego sorter guy ?"
#1. The fundamentals are the same, but a lot of things have changed in the past 30 years. The coursework, somewhat, brings you closer to up-to-date.
#2. Non-FAANG. Looking to be a director or a tech fellow? No formal education during your career is a bad signal. Of course there are exceptions, but it is expected that you have invested in yourself (MBA also meets this requirement).
My personal achievements:
#1. Greatly improved my writing skills.
#2. Understand deeply and can communicate technical concepts that previously I dealt with on the "gut feel" level.
#3. Able to identify ignorance and stupidity in my leadership directly, where previously I lacked enough context to be sure of them being wrong.
CMU and Stanford don't need anyone or any organization to tell the world they do a good job educating CS students. Not so clear if the CS dept is at the Small Town Liberal Arts College and Seminary.
But the other 4,999 schools CS programs, like the one being discussed at WGU, the source of the accreditation is a valuable signal.
Is WGU?
my story, about 1988. we had a system in Omaha with a broken power supply (it was big, say 6U, custom voltages). there was a spare in Rapid City, and downtime was charged by the hour.
no problem, took the spare in a box to the airport. they told us it was too big for counter to counter; but a ticket could be purchased and it would be put on the plane. No, problem.
"Give me a coach ticket to Omaha." "Sorry sir, those are all sold. We do have a first class ticket available." "In that case, OK"
The box went in the cargo hold.
to be blunt, my productivity is limited by my speed of thought, not by how i manipulate source in a program.
my use of vi is about 10 commands; whenever something sophisticated has to be done i look it up.
if i need to see a declaration, i go back to the command line, run a quick "find ./ -name... |xargs grep and i interpret the results. maybe the results have to be passed through grep, no big deal.
in almost all cases, i spend a lot more time looking at the code and thinking about it than i do searching or typing. a lot more time thinking.
so, my comment / discussion item is "what do you do in the IDE that makes all these shortcuts so valuable?"
