The way I read it, it was totally independent of human factors, not excluding them. Ruthless prioritisation in this context means to focus your decisions of what to focus on around delivery of value to customers. You definitely have wiggle

This is very similar to my biggest frustration with PubSub, or heavy event driven systems in general. The concept is so appealing, “Hey I’ll just fire this message off and whoever needs to know about it will do what they need”. It’s great t

What is a alternative we can use? My team and I often use Docker images as part of our development process on our desktop machines.

You're exactly right - if you're writing readme's all the time, you'd have templates ready to go. I only write readme's maybe once every few months or perhaps once a year, and having a template (interactive like thi

I think it might be closer to 215mm x 215mm or 0.49 square feet. Though that is unimaginably large to me for a silicon chip. I can't comprehend it - the engineering behind it would be incredible.

I like it! - it reminds me of the TI-84 (I think it was that one?) back in high school where I could do bouncing balls and other animations. This is simple enough and interactive enough where my kids could experiment with changing things ju

What if instead of arrows we had words "Agree" "Disagree" "Interesting" "Not Interesting" The agree/disagree options would only be visible on comments within an article

May I ask what the previous product was?

I wrote one for Tcl years ago, as I started working on a really complicated product with around 50k lines of code (or more, distant memory). Maybe I should give it another crack for modern languages - there is an even greater need for it th

This is the approach I want to take as well - but I give up so many times because I can’t track down a method of communicating with that person. I looked a while ago and I couldn’t find a way to send a message to a user on GitHub. Any reco

This looks so so appealing!! My biggest mental hurdle with these systems are - how do I easily have local development environments My team and I can use - displaying other users names and email addresses is a really common thing to need in

I've built a visual project plan tool to scratch this itch for myself - www.gameplan.global It's not open source though It's a visual DAG that auto schedules out the plan given the constraints. It's not for everybody - b

There one thing it did, and OS/2 did that I really really really miss. Having different sized icons. I miss my giant Battletech icon :(

It's a super interesting set of requirements - and I've been mentally trying to wrestle with an extra ones on top of that - selectively syncing data. Let's say I've got three users of my bookkeeping app. Person A and Pe

I agree - I have to consciously choose what I want to feed my brain. It's so easy to choose things that don't align with my goals, whether that be family, personal or business goals. Do I find the non-stop inexplicable US politics

It was super cool!!! I had so much fun emulating it drawing single and double line text borders, with shadows. Oh ASCII chart how I miss thee.

True in the general case - but a fixed size font drawn in a grid over the screen? There's a lot you can to do make it very cheap

Atlassian is one example that grew without a traditional sales team, having a very low touch sales process I think they are definitely the exception than the rule though https://www.intercom.com/blog/podcasts/scale

Most everything I work on is related to graphs if I squint enough. But to take an example from my visual planning - Gameplan.global - i use graph algorithms to model task dependencies, as well as the grouping structure. When the tasks and d

I have re-read the readme about 5 times now, and I'm still not really sure what it is. I _think_ its an API wrapper to make functionality available in older versions of windows, is is only in newer versions of windows? Or maybe other p

No they wont be I don’t think, based on the “work done for free” part at the end. I think that is the point if the open-source angle if it, that it is socially acceptable to donate time to an open source project. When we hire, we only do ve

I made something similar - GamePlan [1] (not open source though It's a visual task/planning tool. Does estimates, task grouping, resources, a bunch of different constraints, critical paths, and lots of other stuff. I'm in the
