If it works for chickens I don't see why it can't work for people. Companies could brand themselves as "Free Range" Happy workers lay nicer eggs!

For me at the start even the tedious items are fun because they were mine. Conversely after a few years in even the important interesting parts became tedious.

The article also mentioned a former staple of the Roman dinner table called lovage; this herb is still commonly used in Romanian cooking where it is known as leuștean. It's quite tasty if you ever get the chance.

Also flash player on the Mac was terrible and consumed a lot of energy. I’m not surprised Apple didn’t want it on iOS.

After two or three years of 80 - 100 hour weeks I couldn’t do it anymore. I either had to change something or burn out and quit. What I did was to visualise the business failing. Every which way I could possibly imagine in detail all while

I moved in with a co-founder shortly before we started a boot-strapped company (not a start-up). We had a hard few years with a huge amount of conflict and stress. We nearly went bust on a regular basis. It was hard and went on for a long t

I don’t think this is a totally original story, I’ve read this on slashdot a few times in various incarnations. I think the purpose of this retelling is to make an illustrated point about his theme of feeling confused.

The power connectors to Mac mini’s in 2007 and 2008 look just like oversized USB-C connectors. I always wondered if there was any relation between the two.

The justification for the anti-trust actions against Microsoft was that it was abusing its power as a monopoly in operating systems to create a monopoly in web browsers. The same logic doesn't apply in this case because Apple doesn
