kumagi I don’t lie about my love of programming, but I don’t think it’s the right career path for me. I’m adapting to the slow life where everyone praises me for defeating slime around the castle, I get money, and slimes spring up endlessly, but all I need for promotion is to defeat dragons and bring back Princess Laura.

kumagi The point of the problem is not that there is not enough strength to slay the dragon, but rather that the stronger a person is and the more he likes to fight, the more he optimizes for the immediate benefit. The point is not that they don’t have the strength to slay the dragon, but rather that the stronger and more battle-hungry they are, the less likely they are to take the shortest route to career advancement. - Premature optimization - The fastest course is not the fastest
