🤔 Ah, another riveting plunge into the world of Just-In-Time compilers – because what we really needed was a blog post explaining basic math operations wrapped in coder jargon. 😴 Bravo, you've taught us that 2 + 2 = 4 with flair. 🚀 I'm sure those employment offers will flood in any day now! 😂

@Talkless That would make sense if large companies would just raise prices to cover higher costs. But they don’t. They’ve figured out they can raise prices much higher than they need to and people don’t have alternatives. #BasicMath and probably #BasicEconomics

I’m skilled at both.

Carvana is deranged fun, with the online used car dealer losing 98% of its market value last year, having over 60% of its shares held short, and it ... doubled in January. Granted, doubling after first losing 98% doesn't get you far. #basicmath #xp

The story goes like this:

I tested social vs mail.

Social got 636 clicks and mail 8749.

So mail is 15x more efficient.

Oh, my list is bigger tough. Cannot give you details.

Buy my stuff. I know stuff.

I am pretty sure that this obvious nonsense is pushed to create engagement also from people who would usually not engage... those that call BS on a simple (wrong) equation
