I think relying on traditional public education is the reason for this impedence mismatch. My city offers free tap water at a spot accessible to everyone (i.e. picnic water fountain at a park). But I still purchase bottled water. Regardless

How did you deliver the guides? Confluence doc + screenshots? What worked? Also, what is the category/term called for those type of pain points? It's like those typical enterprise-y, sad but true, jaded senior tropes. Like this qu

I don't think the author has to divide writing good (quality) with being slow (speed), and writing fast with being bad. I firmly believe that the goals is aligned on both sides. Client wants a feature "just works" by a certai

I found meds to have enhancing effects on my code. Everything I have earned is because of it. My best guess is you are still in the phase of titration and finding the correct type of medication that works for you. Having an empathetic docto
