When you're deep into the tech it's difficult to see beyond. You get used the rough edges and even grow to like and appreciate them. It can take a fresh pair of eyes to look at things and see a different way forward, and then be b

My trainer was certified by the people who make and sell the course/questionnaire. She made it clear that this was the official position. So, no, she was not a doofus.

When I did this test, the trainer was pretty clear that it's not meant to be a 'spectrum'. You're either an E or an I and that was that. The only one they claimed might be a spectrum was P to J.

Really? I'd have thought it would be higher. Although this figure does fit with things I've heard before.

I wouldn't say any of those businesses have upended the markets they're in, nor driven 'efficiency' (what's 'efficiency' in terms of dating, anyway?). From your comment, it seems you'd agree ('

It's not abandoned AFAIK, it's a small team that does consulting and they have to prioritise work for customers. When that coincides with Ling they can make progress. I've heard this from more than one unikernel/LibOS p

I'd also be very interested to know more about your use of unikernels and the tooling around them. Would you mind getting in touch? Email is in my profile.

Yeah, there are a number of statements about unikernels that are ... somewhat inaccurate.

I've been in many situations where people thought that the solution lay in something technical, whereas the actual issue was social/cultural. In the worst case, time and energy is spent on the technical thing, which then simply f

Hi folks, we had an unexpected issue while were pushing an update to site (removing the NDA requirement). It should be fixed now and you can sign up as usual. If you're using something like ghostery, you may need to pause it for this

We're using Marketo to track all the signups and I get a blank screen too if I use ghostery and the like. Would you mind trying again but allowing Marketo?
