"Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest." — Richard Hamming, quoting his Bell Labs boss Bode.

Given two frogs of approximately the same ability, one who works 10% more than the other will more than twice outproduce them over a lifetime. The more you learn, the more you can do; the more you do, the more the opportunity. This page tracks the compounding.

— Hamming, "You and Your Research" (1986)
