(not) hot take:

Only people who know or care nothing about freedom and open source and reproducibility in software will use Matlab or Stata.

There is no clear-cut in human hearts, and the "real world" is something that we should respect and adapt our theory to, not the other way around. I feel very lucky to have learnt this from my undergrad supervisor, and to have held tight to it.

I know that I have a tendency to trust theory and technology too much, but it is the nuances and subtleties in econ such as this that help me stay focused on the humanity side of it, rather than get lost in the science part of it. I am deeply grateful.

Sometimes perfect information helps with decision making, while other times imperfect information helps with mistake/bias correcting. It seems a kind of art to me.

Me: You just summarised my past ten years

There is no hope, my throat just cannot handle talking aloud two hours straight, no matter how much water is supplied. It is what it is.

However, one thing I did find dislikable about Moodle is that privileged users (including administrators and TAs) can see the IP address for all submissions. Huge user privacy implications.

Damn…
