Based on what you’ve said, are you confident that you’re delegating enough? I mean, you kind of answered your own questions - you’ve got three seniors. Are they really senior or senior-in-title? If really senior then they should be helping

I always suspected I had a doppelgänger but this proves it. Aside from the 6-12 breaks between each job I could have sworn this post was my own. I’m on the tail end of a sabbatical that is running far into overtime for the same reason - for

Sounds like a standard hiring workflow with some questions tailored for the role. Is this supposed to be revelatory?

I’m a fan of Stallman and his ideology toward computing as much as anyone but tend to think that the ship has sailed long ago. We are not living in a world where everyone who touches a computer has the knowledge or skill set to know a good

As a few others have pointed out, animal welfare is one. As you point out, disease is annother. And another is the instabilities that can arise by introducing a new species to an ecosystem. Do we really have an understanding of where the ma

I am unconvinced that we know enough about life’s engineering to do something like this safely. I am doubly unconvinced that private industry will take the risks seriously. This sort of project is steeped in classic misguided pie in the sky

This illustrates the issue that I see with STAR-style questioning - the method encourages detail-rich storytelling about situations that don’t happen very often, or are simply a mundane part of work life. “Tell me about a time when you chal

Why? Because art and business aren’t the same. “Love the capital, not the capitalist” doesn’t work because unlike artists, capital influences elections. It influences policy and thereby impacts real people’s lives in a real way. Also unlike

The rule will allow agency to strengthen enforcement, seek civil penalties against violators, and deter AI-generated fake reviews. Link to 16 CFR Part 465: Trade Regulation Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials (Final Rule):

As a term, “AI” has become synonymous with “new”. And “new” has become synonymous with “good”. We are in an age where age is a liability. If it’s not new it’s old, and old isn’t good. And it’s all sad because it’s simply not true. But marke

Of the thousands or so resumes I've received on Indeed, I have advanced maybe a dozen into an initial screening stage. The vast majority was basically spam - applicants with backgrounds that didn't match the job at all or new grad

Just moments ago I read that regulators are raising flags about banks' plans for unwinding their derivatives portfolios. Then I come here to read this. Likely happenstance. Maybe no connection. But a little jarring. Then again, they sa

While what you say about drawing conclusions is maybe true, it does not seem to have started with modern scientists. Rather, my takeaway from the article was that everyone is still playing by Descartes’ rules: that is to conflate intelligen

I've recently come to love going to the hyper-local, out of the way, or seemingly forgotten museums. Their collections are often unique and sometimes quirky. Most of all, though, I find that it's far easier to connect with the his

I’m in the same camp as another replier in that I’ve come to like - even adore - much of what I hated because it was required reading. If you feel like you’ve changed since high school then I encourage you to consider rereading some of what

The title was intriguing. The setup, too. But then another 3,500 or so words that amounted to not much more than a rant and to conclude with “see, I was right!” Author isn’t wrong to be upset with the sorry state of leadership in the busine
