Sounds interesting, and written in Go

    In The Art of War, Sun Tzu explains that if you want to conqueer an ennemy that is stronger than you, you must split its force and attack a segment of the force at a time until your ennemy lose the war in your favor. That way, your victory is assured while keeping a maximum of your resources, making you stronger for the next war...

    Oh boy...

        I love the type of guy that just applies The Art of War or the Book of Five Rings or whatever else to anything and everything in the world that has been invented in the hundreds of years since they were written as if they are dispensing great wisdom and not just being orientalists.

        Like the Book of Five Rings literally gives people standing lessons and that's one of the most applicable parts of it to this day, yet I've met people who use insignificant quotes from it to class up their managerial BS, when you can get the message across without shoehorning in arcane Asian texts nearly no one you are addressing has ever read.

        Every approachable scape of our lives is a battlefield, especially in this late modern world of ours.
