This seems to be awful trend in general. I often like to see the credits usually for song credits and most of the time they seem to get interrupted by this insistence on launching the next show. You see something similar now with youtube, w

Doing exactly that was actually the origin of Free File system that Intuit was supposed to be providing. Back in 2002 the IRS was set to create an electronic free filing system. In response the tax prep lobby comically named "The Free

So are the 3 US carriers all selling customer location data to SafeGraph then? I'm assuming that's the only source of SafeGraph’s data? I'm guessing there is no opt-out for this either just like the other sleazy data brokers

Ah, thanks for the detail regarding the origin of this. For some reason I just assumed it came out of some scrum cult type thing as the rise of that was also for around the time OKR became part of the lexicon. I completely agree. Are we ju

I think your comment is very insightful. I agree with your distinction between the two kinds of burnout. I feel like the second one you mention is often the much worse of the two as least with the first case there's the potential to di

I have similar views on the OKRs. I am not even sure how they became so ubiquitous as a measuring stick. Did this come out of Scrum and just found a welcome place in general management speak? I'm also curious if anyone feels similarly

What are the skill sets required? Proficiency in SQL seems like an obvious one but else needs to be in the toolbox so to speak?

It seems like many people agree CI is very engaging. Would you recommend any of those other language design books on your bookshelf as similarly fun and engaging? If so which ones?
