Why not? This is such a thought terminating statement. No actual reason.

Tell me you're not a programmer w/o telling me. What works at scale can be fundamentally different than what works in a small startup (Denmark).

  • You said it can be fundamentally different, and of course it can. But “it doesn’t scale” isn’t an argument by itself. In many areas, scale actually creates efficiencies. You’d need to explain what specifically about the larger scale makes the Danish approach unworkable in the U.S

  • If in person exams are seemingly impossible in US due to scale, we have to conclude that before internet US had no education?

  • For parallelizable workloads it scales just fine, and giving exams is perfectly parallelizable. Any good programmer would know that.
