Mi'sen added,
Venkatesh brrrRao @vgrThe bigger the refactoring the sillier it generally is, and the more ironically you have to take it to get any value out of it. Otherwise you end up in crackpottery. Crack pottery is bad not because it is wrong or lacking in rigor, but because it is a tedious kind of thinking.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
This definition seems silly; there are lots of very serious & clever crackpots. Crackpot (n.); a person who believes their own effluence unironically, not necessarily silly or stupid.pic.twitter.com/AuggiKN5vT
