First paragraph intro is helpful for understanding if you want to bother opening the PDF:

What this paper is about and for whom it is written.

In this paper, we try to explain that mathematics as a scientific discipline enters the period of crisis. In plain words, research level mathematics is becoming too complex for human comprehension. This has serious implications for mathematics education, and our paper is written for everyone who cares about it.

Isn't this just a Y2K Nokia?

Shoulda used microkelvins!

I wonder how well it will do with identifying the Mockingbird who plays his car alarm jingle outside my window at night

Edit: Cool, mockingbird is on the list! This link off of their site has a sound sample for those that haven't experienced this bird

I relate to your story, I definitely got to be that self-centered twenty-something for a good long time. Would love to be able to call my dad right now.

I thought something like this would find it, but I didn't see anything that jumped out at me

Super cool, I'm going to try this tonight!

Also good for the interview process.

Imagine an interview where the interviewer is figuring out an area where the candidate is missing some knowledge, then the interviewer goes through and helps them learn that knowledge. Concrete example might be candidate has zero experience with vuejs, so interviewer works with them to build a vuejs prototype.

>Standardizing testing and certification systems likely wouldn’t be effective in a field as fast-paced as software engineering.

I tend to agree. I would ask: Isn't the individual's capacity to learn more important than regurgitating to pass a certification test?

Scrum is being applied like a shiny new hammer to everything that might have seen or heard of nail a once.

The primary reason scrum should be used for software development is when iterating closely with a knowledgeable customer. The pattern basically outsources the discovery of what to build onto the customer - and if the customer can tell what good looks like, shazam! scrum is downright magical!

Guess what, most software teams are isolated from the customer, or the customer/product owner doesn't know what good looks like, so no wonder scrum is getting a bad name as teams struggle to get value out of scrum activities.

There is a reason why teams need to have flexibility to modify their R&D patterns and processes. Without that flexibility you get to do scrum and the results make you wonder if you are doing it wrong.

I guess we all just learned a trick to check for traction on an idea!

I've spent maybe a hot minute in the south, and even I know the legend of the dreaded kudzu. This article has destroyed a myth from my youth!

I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between, as invasive species always displace something, even with moderate penetration.

Would evidence of an ancient advanced civilization on earth be cooler than dinosaurs?

Considering how thoroughly Facebook has locked up the market, I can't imagine they will stay away for long.

This type of engineer probably isn't a good fit for some software projects are heavily replication based - think of replicating a bunch of canned reports with slightly different sort orders, filters, etc. The scope of the project is very well known, there is zero discovery work to be done, they just need to poop out a pile of reports quickly and move on.

Also consider if you are an off-shore provider of software engineers to customers who value having remote engineers who will "just do what they are told" This sort of person is likely not going to be actualized in that kind of a situation.

In the future moms will no longer complain that their sons never call!
