Grass, famously, does not die when it’s cut.

Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.

It’s a comment made by a person who lives in a country where in living memory a small spark of resistance led to the eventual defeat of the most powerful empire on Earth.

It’s plainly evident that taking any person with high testosterone and getting them to train at a physical activity will almost always result in better performance than training a person in the same way with lower testosterone.
