  >Wisdom is the opposite of efficiency. It is the opposite of a solution. Wisdom will not make your life more comfortable.

  Wisdom is a distillation of knowledge from the past and present. Wise choices about where to put your efforts, will greatly increase your chances of reaching your goals, and finding satisfaction.

  We all depend heavily on “non-innovative” technology to survive. Think farming, energy production, transportation etc. Consistent reliable execution is what matters.

  Innovation is only overrated in the world of software engineering. In everything else innovation is everything.
