I'll preface this by saying that product design and manufacturing and public-proofing is long, hard work, and the retail price of this product is likely to be well justified for all kinds of reasons. That said, looking at the main acti

Is that so different, schematically, to the constant weighing-up of conflicting options that goes on inside the human brain? Human parties in a conversation only hear each others spoken words, but a whole war of mental debate may have infor

Thinking back to a failed role, many years ago - the articles first 'sanctions' list reads like a checklist of achievements for the situation that I blindly dug myself into while under the high stress of the time. It took until qu

If the people who used to hire you would sell your work to clients for $2000 per day, then instead start freelancing your own work and selling it for $1000 per day. It saddens me that tech people have become so intrinsically beholden to a l

I'm glad you said "less" dependent. Never forget that what you're striving for a balance point appropriate to yourself. Your goal isn't to attain one end of a scale.

I can relate. There's something about the human group dynamic that, by default, isn't kind to certain types of personality. Internet-only friendships and acquaintances and groups can be deceiving too. They can be great and full of

When I was a kid in the 1980s, distant buildings were bombed too, and endless Cold wars and Middle East wars etc were a given too. However, your average 12 year old doesn't deeply care about finance or politics or distant wars. Their d

Also, as codebases and systems get more (not less) complex over time, the potential for technical debt multiplies. There are more processing and outcome vectors, more (and different) branching paths. New logic maps. Every day/month&#x2

Humanity would be a pretty bland experience if everybody universally read the same toplist of influences. Some may aspire to study The Classics at Oxford, but to me that sounds like a nightmare of deprivation. Accordingly I see your balance
