So its a regular day at work. Not slept enough the previous night, came in by ten.. My business partner (Marty) and I are coming up with software specs to hand over to my programmers back in India.. the regular day..
Now the situation is that the system that we were building was getting more and more complicated. On a very busy day, with a hectic schedule - a packed calendar and a very frustrated hour.. we were trying to come up with things that would not change all the time.. So I stopped and thought, that if the number of changing elements did not change arbitrarily (basically had no logical pattern of change), then it may be easier to handle the changing elements.
I told him that we need "a fixed set of things that will change". Marty laughed and said, "Can I quote you on that one". Then, pointing to a calendar that has a picture of George Bush, "He would say something like that". A moment later it cracked me up too. Just realized that once I get out of code, or out of a series of logical loops and an intense planning and thinking routine, I may be able to come up with more time to do creative stuff. There was an article somewhere that said that, we are so busy doing stuff, that we dont give ourselves enough time to be creative. I realized that was so true. We should put time aside to be creative - I'm sure that will help us in every walk of life.
Later on in the day, I was thinking about fixed sets of things that will change, and also the very arbitrarily dynamic sets of things that one may come across in life. Things to which responses cannot be comprehended, in any way what so ever. And, there's no two guesses to what I stumbled upon. Im not going to spell it out, else people will call me sexist. I'm NOT. Just come across some very demanding, non-understanding women, and seen some of their traits in other women in general. Some say Artificial Intelligence will solve problems of men understanding women and vice versa. Firstly Im not sure whats intelligent about emotional responses, and trust me a lot of the drama I'v seen, is artificial for sure!
