If current tech managers have a hard time over the next decade, it won't be that management is less important. Instead, there will be a growing number of people that have written software and are going into management that will be bett

The greatest part is doing whatever captures your imagination in the moment. Lists and project plans are important even for personal projects, but the freedom to follow my thoughts for days and weeks on end is amazing. I'm wrapping up

What are those skills? My high schools taught regular academic subjects and electives. What job does that qualify a person to do? They can't fix a car, drive a big truck, or operate specialized machinery. Yes, the unskilled jobs moved.

It goes both ways. Keep telling minorities and the educated that they're not "real" America and we'll just trade whose most angry this election. The hard part is understanding the other perspective and building bridges.

They need job skills and few high schools teach them. One of the high schools I went to had a small program with the community college next door for people to learn marketable skills instead of the usual electives. The other had nothing lik

That's a good point, though in this case the thing they need to remember is a key part of doing the job. Seeing a line of code run correctly once does not mean it's correct. It's one of those concepts that comes up in many fo

That's a nice find. It's worth skimming the full email for context. He's laying out the draft organizational plain for a modern campaign and it's about what you'd expect. The only interesting part is that it's

I was really hopeful for what a LivingSocial IPO would do for the DC tech scene. That many dev, design, and product people looking to start their own thing with the DC talent pool to draw from... Maybe next time.

That's also exactly who will tell me how the company works without the sugarcoating HR and managers put on it. I don't want sugarplums and rainbows, I want an effective engineering organization :)

With the similarities between job searches and dating, I wonder if a Tinder for Jobs can work. By lowering the barrier to entry it could get more of the passive not-really-looking-but-curious workers into the mix.

I've still not been able to figure out how in many cities I can rent a room in an apartment for less than a room in a hotel. How does the hotel industry not have huge economies of scale? Are the hotel taxes and cost of extra fire codes

It's not my industry, but I'm confident Boeing has enough pull in Washington to keep that from happening.

Perhaps there's more people in Paris that know how to make awesome croissants. Maybe it's considered "fancy" food in the US and marked up accordingly. There's a lot of economic levers to push.

I think you're giving away another reason. In general, Americans don't value high quality food. A croissant is a croissant to us. Tyler Cowan wrote an interesting book speculating why. https://www.amazon.com/dp&#x2
