I'm all for behavioral tweaking, such as adding new behaviors onto things
you're already doing. E.g after you brush your teeth you do 2 push ups. Those
work a lot of the time and there has been a lot great posts on HN about that.

But, this as any advice is a luxury to even think makes any rational sense.
Context is a benefit from being able to move at will. And while I'm not
condemning view points of any one type of person, but because you're
privileged to be able to move doesn't mean it's worth anything to be providing
for people actually looking to change their lives; and find real 'context' in
the environment they are unable to move out of.

It's a silly headline, implying that Powerpoint wizardry was the primary

these could walk in with pitch decks that look like chicken scratch, or none
