   I see your point, but I see an implicit either-or choice in it. I must ask: would it not better for team cohesion and efficacy if managers were doing 30% engineering, and engineer had the option to have their word in management? I have expe

   > By suggesting you don’t need project managers, you’re saying that you, an engineer, want to do this work and my question is, “Do you or do you not want to be an engineer?” I have a problem with that sentence. I read it as a false dicho

    Why do I need a privacy policy for a personal website using basic Google analytics? (That's what your minisite suggests.) I don't have customers, only visitors, there is no contract.
