It seems like microsoft should have just said that fixing this isn’t a priority right now, instead of saying it couldn’t be done. It's great though when someone says it's not possible to make something faster, and you say “here, I

This is a great idea, but I feel like it needs an adoption and roll out strategy so that is starts to snowball. I think that opening PRS makes a lot of sense, but smaller projects or projects that don't yet have an opt-out mechanism ar

Volume levels are relatively easy address so hopefully they have that under control. Quality is hard because you take your guests as they are and people often don't realize the how echoey their room is or how poor the microphone they

Felienne is also a host on Software Engineering Radio. If you are curious about the content I think a teaser of it is covered in this interview: https://www.se-radio.net/2021/06/episode-462-felienne-on-the...

Agreed and also it is valuable to not have a total monoculture. It's helpful to have people out and exploring other ways to do things.

It's interesting that when I interviewed him, he has all these built-it book cases behind him in his office. The idea of not needing the internet but just occasionally grabbing a book from behind you to look something up when developin

Thanks, I have interviews on software engineering radio as well: https://www.se-radio.net/team/adam-gordon-bell/

I'm glad you like the podcast! I do push back when something doesn't sound right. I agree though that I could have asked more about fossil. I really didn't look into fossil that much when I prepared for the interview so it wa

CoRecursive started because I did some episodes as a host on software engineering daily and it was lots of fun so I decided to start one of my own. The first 4 episodes were originally on software engineering daily. Originally the idea was

Host Here. Thanks for sharing. Richard is a great story teller and adventures that SQLite has taken him on pretty interesting. I think he in on hn as well ( @SQLite). One interesting thing I found about how SQLite is developed is the amoun

I am a podcast creator myself, though not one who is doing fiction. Great guide! I am going to give your podcast a listen.

Yeah, it would be a cool project. Fossil, his source control and ticket manager looks interesting as well. I don't think I would use it, with git so intrenched, but the way it shows diffs on tickets is really nice.

I wrote this and would love to hear what people think. I have been working remotely for nine years, and it just consistently surprised me that people wouldn't use every available communication channel. This is my attempt to explain a b

I think this is the episode you are talking about [1] Runar and Paul a huge inspiration! I'm not totally sold on this idea as practical, but I think it will get there and while they have a lofty goal, I certainly wouldn't bet agai

I think this progression could make sense as a personal learning progression. The real world is probably more complex than this though. See for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27468360 where the person mentions

Thanks for reading! Yeah, the future trick is kind of interesting because it solves the immediate problem and it allows people to feel like you heard their concerns and valued their advice. If that is what they are looking for then its a gr

Yeah, I think that could be true in general. Tetlock found the hedgehogs were more famous and more wrong and I got the idea from him that that was because simple advice is more sticky and works better in sounds bites but it could also work

Thanks for reading it. It was one of the those ideas bouncing around in the back of my head for a while but hard to put into words then I read something about Tetlock and the dots sort of connected for me. Software advice isn't totally

Author here, thanks for sharing this. Let me know what you think. I'm trying to connect the dots on research on expert advice and our fields 'thought-leaders'. The connection is a bit tenuous but I think contingent advice can

Thanks! yeah, I got that. I was just considering in a comment the fact that I wish I had a better word for people with strongly held believes that their solution will solve all things. Architecture astronaut is one Joel Spolsky used back in
