I LOVED Tonka trucks when I was a kid. I spent so much time out in a dirt box by myself playing for hours. I can't say how they inspired me, but for some reason when you ask for toys that inspired me that is what popped in my head immediately.

If you want to improve your user experience this should be the LAST thing you would do. I was expecting them to have a more accurate or easy to see cursor, but it's just the scrolling marquee all over again.

I just replied in the context of the article. I'm assuming if you are doing math proofs all day you probably aren't dealing with "command line bullshittery".

I feel like any field of research has a base set of knowledge and skill sets required to do high level research. One could say that biology research is filled with "Microscope Bullshittery" or Paleontology is filled with "Fossil Digging Bullshittery".

A base skill of doing computer science research is programming.

Can you program without computer science? Absolutely. Can you Computer Science without programming? I would say no. Being able to look at and understand how to use a language or library is just something required to get to the last tier of computers science knowledge. I think every researcher would love to get rid of their bullshittery, and often they have lab technicians or interns do it for them but in the end they all had to pay their dues and have to know it in order to mentor and help those below them.

1. Fear - this is a problem at ALL levels of organizations. Designers don't want something out that they think doesn't look jaw dropping, product managers don't define a clear MVP and feature creep keeps piling up, management doesn't want something released unless it feels groundbreaking...
