Exactly, I don't think I'm disagreeing with anything. Balance is about both sides of the equation. I do think you came on a bit to one side however, and it's important to have both recognized. To the examples you listed, I&#x

Have you looked into W. Edwards Deming at all? His ideas on quality and systems are echoed almost perfectly in this article and in what you're saying here, especially in bringing systems thinking to the entire organization, not just en

People ignore the systems surrounding themselves. Their life, the things supporting their happiness, and the things put in place to ensure your work functions in your absence, even just in the absence of being at home for dinner every night

As someone who was once quite depressed and is now reliably happy, an incredibly surprising amount of motivation. Truly.

There is a balance to everything. Sometimes the balance is in the opposite direction from your assumptions. If I've learned anything, it's that the really important things you're talking about—those get done. They have my foc

The problem with work is a lack of purpose, and a lack of knowledge about how to build it. Every person wants to feel that the work that they do is meaningful. Find me a person who says they truly desire for their work—for the majority of t

Balance, as with all things. We should see things for what they really are. Bullshit and pretentiousness are just quality reflected by an unbalanced ego. It is not the quality that needs to change.

This article gets it hugely wrong. Food is one of the highest forms of art; one that's vital and human and social all at once. You don't have to like it, but you do have to eat, and it's such a large part of life and culture

No, "I was a foodie before it was cool, and now everyone else is, so it's not cool anymore and I'm out." Useless.

All I know is that I have native IPv6 at home now thanks—and I can't believe I'm saying this—to Comcast. Progress perhaps? Also, cute: Facebook's IPv6 address is 2a03:2880:f00d:401:face:b00c:0:1

Seriously, enough. Javascript just isn't that bad, and we have a near-universal runtime on which to execute it. Enjoy.

Ah, the freedoms of permissive licenses... better than proprietary at least.

This was the one thing that my CS professors drilled into my head most: you have source control, why would you comment? You only make your source control more valuable by not commenting out code; since you can then search for its presence m

Not just calculation, but abstract data comprehension. It's a fair bit more flexible than the word processor in this analogy.

It is incredible how much software is written solely to "do better than a spreadsheet." And how much fails at it. Great article.

Well, if you can take 80% as a success rate at a quarter the cost per launch due to re-using old parts, and build that into your business model somehow (insurance, assurance, whatever and however it might be done), then maybe it can be viab

This whole idea is similar to the one Robert Pirsig explored in his book Lila, the less-well-known sequel to his famous "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." He explored the idea of evolution at many levels for a whole chap

The problem is the one tackled by W. Edwards Deming in his Quality philosophy. He takes the same stance: the quality of a product, in any production, is a result of management and leadership, organizational psychology, effective processes,

Organizational expertise is systemic; surely many individuals knew, but the group proceeded under its collective intelligence, or lack thereof. It takes systems—and individuals well versed in thinking in terms of them—to develop organizatio

Each of the major operating systems on the market today is generally incredibly well designed and fit for its purpose. It is the purpose that needs changing. The next operating system I will use will allow me to log in from any terminal any

It does not matter. This is not a programming language; languages are designed for human comprehension. Human comprehension is an irreducible part of the whole paradigm of programming, being necessary to understand the nearly always compl

It actually has meaning, unlike most scroll captures. I also like how (about 3/4 down the page) they capture the background iMac image on the left and keep it "sticky" during scroll, but not completely stationary -- it still

I know it's hard to swallow, but it becomes less and less a problem the higher resolution the screen and the smaller the pixel. I have one on my 15" rMBP, and I do not notice it unless I put my face within 6" of the screen.

Here you go: http://www.lg.com/au/it-monitors/lg-34UC97 I'm not sure. I have a 30" widescreen at work I primarily use in isolation (the laptop next to it is pretty puny by comparison), and dualies in a l

My dual 2412Ms (noticeably less resolution than yours, but still) sit beside a 15" Retina MBP. It is painful to switch between the screens. First world problems, but the good kind.
