This isn’t a security mindset, it is a product development mindset. You run into problems creating these situations like we are discussing when roles across the company diverge and no one is responsible for the big picture. The security guy

I couldn’t agree more. Security is almost always user hostile (speaking from a UX perspective). I am NOT advocating that we remove security for obvious reasons (a hacked app is also user hostile). HOWEVER - if we can just acknowledge that s

Here’s the deal, at two years and for a problem that is by all accounts serious, any solution is better than no solution. Now, if this is code that runs ventilators for sick people, runs the movement of money for a hedge fund, or balances t

I am a big advocate of refactoring bad code, but what you say is SO important. Badly written code that is non-critical or rarely used or simply where all the known issues are known and easily worked around, is not a good candidate for refac

I just had this conversation with my wife. She needs to expand her business into the nearest city and has been dragging on it for a couple of years. She admits she is not sure why she has not started. She is overwhelmed with the tasks neede

This is going to sound far fetched, but hear me out - I am 55. When I was young I slept like a rock, like most people. Fast forward to a few years ago and I could barely get through the night. I would wake at 3:30am and just not be able to

I use Blokada 5 (Blokada 6 sends your info to the cloud). Uses a VPN to block all app ads.

I would argue that this is because you have the wrong people on the bus . I know that may not be your choice as a manager (you may be stuck with what you have), but make sure you are not misunderstanding the problem. Good, 10x people don’t

There is no way. What I am alluding to is that, the only people who will go down the path of being a junior to senior dev are those that truly love the field. It will purge those that only go down the path because they think it will make th

Is there a scenario where just the people that REALLY love programming start in the field? Could this be a situation where you reduce the field of programmers to only those that are truly passionate about programming, thus making the people

Do you expect that when people are no longer in debt that they will just keep their spending down? Or is it possible that they now have a “wealth effect” and feel like they can spend more? What keeps them from racking up debt again to previ

I agree. What we have seen over the past decade+ has been asset inflation. This is exactly the same as goods inflation (what we are seeing now), except that asset inflation seems like a good thing at first blush. People want their assets to

Ok, here is a thought. In the frame of reference of “commoditizing your complement” (see Joel on software), you could argue that Google has been doing that for years to microsoft, by releasing Chrome, ChromeOS, and Android. This commoditize

Bingo. 10x is not about how fast someone codes. That is why there is confusion here. Of course someone cannot write code consistently 10x as fast or write 10x as much code. On a regular basis? That is nonsensical. When talking about 10x dev

What I learned over time is that the business side is more important than the technical side. We are making these things to better peoples lives after all. And business requires things to be sustainable. Profit and costs are ever present th

Second this. I bought one and when we travel I wonder how anyone can live without it. Using a toilet without a bidet just seems uncivilized now.

Bose QuietComfort earbuds 2. I have a pair of QC20 wired earbuds that I have been using since forever. I have really bad hearing and ironically, I am very sensitive to loud noises (e.g., mowing, flying, road noise on road trips). I really l

I am not trying to derail the conversation, but I just have to comment on the product you listed. I am clearly not the target market (I think?), but that marketing video on their home page “describing” what this is, has to be one of the wor

I agree. The nature of our verbal communication is that they were implying to the children that this is a game and that they must copy each step. In contrast, had they said “your goal is to get the gummy bear. Do only those things necessary

HDR is the problem. If you change it to SDR it looks great! Unfortunately on my ipad I have to turn it to “low power mode” and that forces HDR off. In Apple’s infinite wisdom they do not have a setting to just turn off HDR.

Exactly why Costco is more and more popular. They essentially do curation of goods available on the market and they sell them at a good price. When I go to Costco I know I might not get the best item on the market, but I know I will get a d

I just want to share my agreement on picking any path forward when confronted with analysis paralysis. I also suffer from this and have found that ANY choice is better than no choice in this situation, precisely because moving forward gi

Yes, it seems he even mixed definitions as well. He said that the $110M in assets and $100M in liabilities was a 10:1 leverage. However, later he says that a home owner with a down payment of 20% is levered 5:1. Yet, if we do the same math

This is the best argument. If they send me an exploit it isn’t expected for me to run it blindly because of some unwritten contract, right? Once the payload is sent to me it is my right to execute it as I wish. That is the unwritten contrac

I am an engineer by trade, but I would argue product is more important than engineering. WHAT you work on is ultimately more important than HOW it is achieved from my experience. Yes, bad engineering will ruin a product, but it is all moot

Charlie Munger (of Berkshire Hathaway fame) says that the best investors are multi-disciplinary, because everything in life is interrelated. I tend to agree with him. It goes beyond investing. This talks about Munger’s concept of multi-disc

Human communication is a funny thing. We use phrases like “technical debt is bad” and everyone in the room will nod their heads and be in total agreement, but every single person in that room has a different definition of what technical deb
