It reminds me of Barbara Oakley, who wrote books about how to learn. She was terrible at mathematics, but after a career as a translator she decided to study engineering and she succeeded
Yesterday I saw a post on Lemmy about software tracking in cars. Reminded me of a Mastodon post I'd seen earlier that day, by journalist Kashmir Hill. I looked up the Mastodon post I had seen in the Explore time line, cursed somewhat because the time line was filled with newer posts, and gave up. Started searching with a search engine and found the Mastodon profile page of the journalist. Found the toot, and began writing a comment in the Lemmy post page, and just before hitting the Send button I noticed that the Lemmy post was about a newspaper article written by ... Kashmir Hill 😑
Journalist Kashmir Hill is a name I remembered after reading Life Without The Tech Giants series
In 2019, when I was a reporter at Gizmodo Media Group, I spent 6 weeks blocking
Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Apple from getting my money, data

Kashmir Hill sounds like the name of a newly-built neighbourhood of McMansions.
I have nothing more to add.
