But that makes it easier for the restaurant! You have the ingredients on a package to check. The head chef can do it while constructing the recipe. And you can explicitly order gluten free substitutes that stay in the freezer until needed.

I think there are multiple phases of a product. At one end, you have a startup still searching for product market fit. You shouldn't have a design systems team in such an organization. Consistency doesn't matter because you might

It isn't that meetings are or aren't work: it's that asynchronous communication takes more time in total as well as more calendar time. If I need a series of five if-then questions to put together a proposal, and each round t

The developer experience for Electron is much better than PySide + QT free, and nobody is spending 5,000 a year to write their own apps.

The short of it is that nobody has cracked the free cross-OS problem in the same way as electron has. Lazarus requires pascal and is unattractive. JavaFX, afaik, still requires a jvm download to use, and the documentation is minimal. QT is

...and then your career in academia is over, regardless of the official rules of retribution. Which, based on all of the bad experiences, might be a blessing in disguise for adjuncts (UK or otherwise!)

So, I get that beer samplers are "for tourists," but it is also hard to try a wide variety of beers when on a relatively short trip without them. Also, as someone who also lives in a tourist town, it is much better to herd them al

Wouldn’t you think that canceling and angering that community would be an even worse idea then?

I'm talking about a great front end developer experience. Rails was crap. Spring * was crap. None of the back end frameworks came close to thinking in abstractions - code reusability was an afterthought at best. Ask yourself, why was t

I believe this is a cultural argument mascaraing as a technical one. The honest truth is that we have had front end and back end developers for as long as the web has been around, and before that. Your "full stack" developers are

Salary caps don’t quite mean what they seem. Labor is guaranteed a percentage of revenue by the league. Caps are normalized against the total percentage. Salaries past minimums are estimates. So, not quite socialist but closer than the Euro

It depends on the license and pricing. I'd love to consider bringing to my org, but not if I don't have a true path. I won't even evaluate it unless I have a clear path to use.

The subtitle of the article is "HAVE WE ALREADY HIT PEAK AI?" (I keep the caps because they had it.) If we're talking about the peak of inflated expectations before we get to the Trough of Disillusionment, I think we might be

I think there's even more to unpack, though. Yes, there will be a fair bit of repeated knowledge, but what the 30+ books do is cement your mental map and expose the common agreement and disagreements in the general field. From there, a

A land value tax is one way to achieve that goal with its own tradeoffs. Building more housing close to the jobs is an independent problem with an independent goal.

Most of the RTO conversation is happening outside of tech. While some is (e.g. Amazon, Zoom), we all started off in IRC or email in college or before. This isn't true for all areas of the business.

I did it in my late teenage years, alongside many 24-48 hour religiously-motivated fasts. (In this case, they were water-only.) 24 hours isn't two bad. The second 24 hours is awful. That's when the headaches come. The third 24 hou

I am confused at this: the window that people speak about is largely one of having any language. Aissam seems to have a language, albeit an idiomatic one that was developed to communicate with parents. If so, he has developed the speech pat

You may be an outlier. nearly 20 years ago, my root canal was 2 sittings. In 2012, I had a mistranslation and the temporary work ended up lasting ten years. (I got it fixed up in 2022) (I am guessing that if you have 10 root canals, you&#x2

So, how many employees do you take before you spend the time to go through an entire risk management framework? Solopreneur? 3 cofounders? First employee? When you get your first funding? When you get your first request for a SOC 2 report?

The first generation of company-focused llm will need to be bespoke. Teams involved with this will learn the necessary abstractions and will build new companies to lower the on-ramp or join the LLM providers to do the same.

Peter Drucker proposes this (that as more is automated, more people end up as effective managers) in "The Effective Executive" over fifty years ago. But I have a blog I'm half in the middle of that dives deeper here. The mana

You misunderstand me, perhaps. It is not the manager's responsibility to "just tell [you] what to do as part of that." The job of the line manager is to take a giant amount of information and develop a mental map in which he

That's your job as a line manager. Your job is to understand the domain. Your job is to talk with users and technical support staff and product managers and read about the domain and care about what your users care about. From there, y
