Blaming employees for breakdowns in process and communication and firing them is one way to run a team. This article proposes an alternative to that.

Yup, I’ve found that even when pretty much every engineer on the team knows that velocity is slow because necessary refactors have not been done, refactoring is often not considered real work and real progress. It’s the kind of thing you’r

Oh my god, yes. You also have to take the input of the group as “evidence,” and acknowledge when you may not know much about something, but someone else does.

It seems to me that both parties, while not equivalent, are factions of elites seeking power more than anything else. Getting or keeping power means getting votes while enriching your donors and doing favors for your friends. To get voter

One way to avoid making mistakes like this would be to run your big ideas by a handful of average users of your product. Take the information that will be in the eventual announcement, show it to 10 users, and ask for their feedback. Bett

And if your mom is toxic and/or abusive and you are not in contact, or you have no mom, or for some other reason you can’t or know better than to call your mom: Don’t call Mom! Somebody needs to hear this today. :)

Thanks, this was very helpful! I was scanning the prose on the Codeberg website looking to see if Codeberg itself was open source, but all it said was that it was "free" and "non-profit." Now I see that Gitea is the sof

KonMari has nothing to do with visual brand, it’s about living authentically free of things you don’t like. It’s like the life philosophy of not spending time around friends who don’t spark joy in you. And then someone comes along and says

This is why Marie Kondo’s approach is personal and about getting in touch with your feelings. No one is going to deny you your collection. One of my pet peeves is when someone is trying to help you get rid of “stuff you don’t use,” and th

I would be really interested in Fly if it abstracted persistent storage. An exciting use case to me would be something that doesn’t with “...for caching.”

Can someone explain the implications of this for performance, or what we can do now that we couldn’t do before?

Thanks for linking to this, it was a good read :) The author seems like a cool (IMO) guy who is a bit insecure about whether he’s supposed to be seeking people’s approval or what. I couldn’t handle the status-seeking and other social dynam

I think if your business helps 20,000,000 groups of people talk to each other (sites), you get to once or twice be like, "Ok, you guys are clearly murderers plotting murders, can you go do it somewhere else?" Haha.

I've been playing this a lot! It's quite entertaining. I haven't quite broken 1000, so based on the high scores, I'm probably lacking some additional strategy. I'm extremely curious if there is a "good"

Long story short, make your work meet your work needs as much as possible, ideally in 40 hours or less.

I love parsers, but I wonder what the motivation or use case is for this particular parser. I’d love to see a “Why another parser?” section of the README.

Plenty of people would love to live in a micro-apartment. Just because it would make you feel poor to do so doesn’t mean it should be illegal!

Is there anything inspired by this in JavaScript land?

What is the short version of why ego depletion isn’t actually a thing, or a link about it? This is one of those ideas that is still making the rounds.

This made me smile (“refute a hypothetical group of engineers...”). But even if the author is not refuting Kondo’s methods specifically, is the author not saying that acts of intentional tidying should be viewed with skepticism for putting

I'm loving these intelligent criticisms of the article. My own biggest beef with the article is it entirely misses the deep point of Marie Kondo's work, which is about efficiency and joy. If the article is not actually a response

This comes off as a rather long-winded summary, and it neglects to mention one of the core principles of the method, which is that you must physically touch the object you are deciding whether to keep or discard, not just look at it. Make

Well that's cool. I'd be interested to know more about the technical details. The article mentions something about "cells" to reduce risk of buoyancy loss from a tear, and something about ultracapacitors. While some of

I've never heard of this language, but it looks like a cross between TypeScript and Java. The "Why Ballerina" points on the front page are intriguing, but none of the other materials seem to fill in the next level of detail.

Based on a sampling of my friends in their 20s-40s in the SF Bay Area who are not in tech, it's pretty rare to think one could ever afford a house, or to be able to save a double-digit percentage of one's paycheck for retirement,

I love that guy, but I think the best use of this level of awareness into the mechanics of your procrastination — the elaborate story — is to realize it’s just a story. The moment you really realize this, the story changes.
