Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

If we could keep concepts and tools separate…well maybe the world would be a better place.

There is graduate school: learn concepts and how to extend concepts.

There is trade school: learn how to use a tool to do a job.

Hmmm, these two sound different, different enough that we wouldn’t confuse the two. For some reason we can’t seem to separate them. If we could, I think we would do many things much better, but what do I know other than a few concepts and how to extend them?
