Good luck. I had a moderately successful web design business with multiple employees etc. in the early aughts (early on didn’t specialize but by 2006 our niche was home builders whooops!) and it can be pretty emotionally rewarding work if y

Why did Cranston develop into that caliber of actor? Hard work, sure. But what made him work hard? Why was he the type of person to do that and not to sit back and relax? What made him make those choices?

If you answer this "no I worked hard" it's a good exercise to examine the prior conditions that led you to hard work. Keep following that chain back; honestly keep asking yourself how everything isn't a matter of luck.

I'm always surprised how few people are willing to just come out and say this (to me very obvious) truth. It's rare enough that I feel the need to express some kind of solidarity / comraderie to someone else dated to look at

Wow his posts read like a markov bot using racist screeds and religious texts as corpii. Poe's law and all but sure reminds me of being manic and my word salad speeches. Hope the guy is OK.

I guess this rather contradicts what I wrote in my comment to OP, but I can chime in. I once bit off waaaay more than I could chew, basically taking on a tech lead role on a large project — a project that in retrospect I wasn't even

I'm surprised the author allowed Brian to run his BS as long as he did. Although B is clearly in the wrong here I'd suggest the author should take a look at his/her willingness to play along as far as it went. Maybe some self

This makes me think of a sort of pendulum. Maybe what Apple needs now is to just be boring for a decade.

I've thought about this a lot. Wouldn't Steve have realized this inherent contradiction? Is this an understood reality at the top levels at Apple? That is, does Tim see his role now as maximizing revenue from the current position,

I just wish they'd fix the bugs. That's all. It's disheartening to have Xcode crap out on me ten times a day. And to have Apple Maps fail to present a keyboard when I search on my iPhone. And to have Music suddenly cut in to

Can confirm. I'm living in a sears house right now. A bungalow style built in 1918. I'm regularly surprised by the nice little touches and the way the whole thing really works as a unit. The only real "problem" is the sm
