cleverness

And no, I'm not a cleverness junkie. I mean, it's a shell script that's like 8 lines long.

Amazing, the cleverness once required to create things we now take for granted.

But to my surprise he didnt see the cleverness of this at all. In fact he got noticeably haughty about the whole thing.

No public key cleverness is required. My read on you --- and please take this as a compliment --- is that you are a cleverness junkie.

Steel bicycles have a TON of evolved cleverness in them. They are the end result of a fierce evolutionary winnowing.

In a rush to applaud cleverness, Twitter seems to have lept to the conclusion that "clever attack" means "vulnerable target". That's usually a correct assumption, but it isn't in this case.

A little cleverness, plus a little laziness, can make often make the same amount of labor go a lot further, so judging just effort is missing a big part of the picture.

The difference between legitimate jargon and cleverness is contextual. The argument you guys are having arises because some people think of javascript as a dynamic sort of java with lots of weird stuff thrown in, and some people, ragenwald included, think of it as a lisp in a java costume.

My observations is that the company had some very technically brilliant people, but also a lot of people that epitomize the super smart MBA that but nave MBA that can understand high level business models and financial cleverness, but that are terrible business people because they are completely oblivious to the skill that all great business people have and that is empathy for your customer. This is ridiculous.
