Omar sent an email today entitled "How Paul Stovell does math". The email just included the following picture:
Omar ought to know by now that my mind doesn’t work that way. Instead, to find X, I would do the following:
- Blog about how I plan to find X
- Write some unit tests to help me find X
- Send an email to the inventors of Math showing them my superior process for finding X; they would ignore me
- Complain that X would have been easier to find in Ruby
- Get sidetracked. Find the angles of the triangle instead
- Then my next silly idea would come along, and X would never be found
Then, three months later, someone else would find X and claim all of the money and fame
