Twitter's replacement will not look like MySpace -> Facebook. It will look like the decline of Craigslist. It will still be here a decade from now, but people will have moved on from a number of different types of reliances on Twitt

You're conflating law enforcement with regular life. Regular people and employers don't have the investigative authority of law enforcement. Law enforcement has a higher standard of proof because it comes with higher penalties. Th

My current job is drudgery due to agile. But for most of my career I've found it enjoyable to have the kind of space and freedom and ownership of work that I don't have now. Earning trust and getting to exercise my own judgment ab

My personal top priority is no Jira or other project management software, no standups, no sprints. Not because these are annoyances in the sense of feeling like I have an Office Space job. It's because I have a certain psychology of ho
