The Half-Life of Singapore Math

The time it takes for the bar model method, the heart and soul of Singapore math, to become a common feature in most math curriculums around the world, which implicitly means that it no longer holds the competitive edge over other developed nations in math education.
With pirates from both developing and developed countries leveraging on AI, the half-life of Singapore math is getting exponentially shorter, and the “fine” city of Singapore risks being innovated away if local math educators don’t act now.

Low-Code Low-Life

A "developer" who builds entire "apps" by dragging boxes around a screen and calling it innovation. They brag about "streamlining business processes" while secretly breaking every best practice known to software engineering. Usually found in corporate IT departments preaching "citizen development" as they drown in spaghetti workflows and performance issues they can’t debug.
Chad from accounting just built a 'fully automated inventory workflow' in or ERP, now it crashes if you type a lowercase 'e'. Classic Low-Code Low-Life move.
