The Case That A.I. Is Thinking | The New Yorker
I once had a boss who said that a job interview should probe for strengths, not for the absence of weaknesses.

From a White House bunker, he maintained continuous contact with the president and other officials and kept what many called a steady hand at the helm through the crisis.
