Always shocks me that some people are actually proud of and recommend this kind of stuff. I guess it makes sense for a google talk, especially given how the google promo and perf review system works.
- CPLX 7y agoIt’s regarded as pseudoscience? That seems generous, it’s not even that. It’s just a book some guy wrote. Not sure it’s aspired to be anything else. Though, in fairness it seems to have succeeded somewhat on those terms.
- swyx 7y agoyou dont have to be proud of it or approve of it to recognize that this is a real thing people do. it helps you realize when it’s being done to you.
