This "Tale" is less about dynamic programming and more about lulling you to sleep with #academic #drudgery 😴. Did someone say "simple principle"? Because this author sure didn’t get the memo 📜. Let’s just "summarize" by saying it’s a snooze-fest in disguise 🛌.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Composition is, for the most part, an effort of slow diligence and steady perseverance, to which the mind is dragged by necessity or resolution, and from which the attention is every moment starting to more delightful amusements.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138

A quotation from Joseph Addison

As exercise becomes tedious and painful when we make use of it only as the means of health, so reading is apt to grow uneasy and burdensome, when we apply ourselves to it only for our improvement in virtue. For this reason, the virtue which we gather from a fable, or an allegory, is like the health we get by hunting; as we are engaged in an agreeable pursuit that draws us on with pleasure, and makes us insensible of the fatigues that accompany it.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1709-03-18), The Tatler, No. 147

I could have asked the accountants to handle the last pile of my personal taxes paperwork but I like to do some things myself so I can get a handle on stuff, and I had nothing planned for Saturday anyway.

At least that's how I felt about 14 hours ago. Hindsight, eh?...

For a Tuesday, it sure feels like two weeks from next Monday...#Drudgery
