It's not that "devs think it's okay" - it's that we accept that sales thinks it's okay and we don't have the experience or judgement to say otherwise unless we've been in a sales org. The fundamental

Going one generation deeper, "Timothy" by The Buoys. Or back to the 20s and 30s, Lucille Bogan's "Shave 'Em Dry" or any number of options from the dirty blues.

I keep hoping others see this as well. Sun was so close to the right thing, but the problem is too hard to monetize and it's too vulnerable to embrace, extend, and extinguish.

I was that manager for a bit. I think it’s a phase some of us go through because we are excited about what we learn just like an early mid-level would get excited about a new framework. It takes a while until we get to “okay, I’ve read enou

I'm fine with charging for your work, but I have a very high bar for the value you create if I am putting man-years of effort behind building on your ecosystem.

What if I'm looking to practice my ability to augment myself using AI? (This isn't theoretical - I've done Advent of Code a few times, but I don't get to code too much these days. I am curious about its abilities and hav

I don’t use loom, but I remember an interview with someone who had it in their workflow. Isn’t some of Loom’s appeal transcript and video search?

It looks like that because Unicode is trying to solve a problem that everyone thinks is easy until they uncover the true extent of encoding human languages.

It did a good job, then. How long would it have taken for the marketer to get their project prioritized if it hadn’t already demonstrated value?

What they lose is a long history and community knowledge of hacks. What they gain is data integrity, consistency, and concurrency. We need to think about a tool that can do those with the same ease as Excel (Or Access). If we can't do

Does this include every excel spreadsheet application we have today? That is what low code should be replacing.

I live in one of those places. This is a medium cost of living area. That's how much rent has gone up in the past decade in most places that they've raised the de facto minimum wage to 11 bucks, and I wasn't even counting tho

Certainly. I see them around here too. They make 12-15 dollars an hour. That's 2400 dollars a month. That means at 30% of income (rental maximum in most areas), they can afford $720. (This assumes that they can work 40 hours. Their hou

It's likely true. It's also relatively small relative to the amount of money being funneled through the REITs.

If this is a personal web project that you get a few hours at a time... If you like Notion, keep to it but don't use any fancy features. Just text and links. Skip anything else until you have at least five people. But you're just

Do you remember PhpBB? It's the same thing. Heck, I had two twitter profiles because I had two different sets of interests. This isn't uncommon.

Congratulations, you just rediscovered the pains that led to agile. The key insight is that it is incredibly hard to capture a system that has the flexibility of handling every past, present, and future edge case while providing consistency

The expectations of the market will keep improving. Even if you don't have ongoing costs, it would behoove you to think about your upgrade plan up front.

I think that What Jeff Jackson says here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxEu3L2cMEE ) is pertinent. Most of the people in congress are more calculating and competent than they look. They are largely clever and socially a

The winning move is to go along but then call the local whistleblowers for that government entity.

Dave Farley, Kent Beck and Gergely Orosz are hardly non-noteworthy people. Farley is best known as being a significant contributor to Continuous Delivery. Kent Beck was an initial signatory to the agile manifesto. Gergely Orosz has four boo

As someone who has been in 7 hours of zoom meetings averaged over a week, I promise that it is not worse in person. Your eyes start getting really tired when focusing on a screen.

There are a few tradeoffs. For executives, they are trying to gather more information. What are the power dynamics? Who is deferring to whom? Where is the unstated conflict that isn't on the page? Is there obvious dysfunction? Do peopl

It's not as different as you think it is. Most people got used to zoom meetings and async interactions, and they too liked it more than open offices. Big companies have it worse - they have the cubicles/open offices and their co

I mean, there is nothing stopping people from using the [Diataxis Framework]( https://diataxis.fr/ ) for any sort of documentation - it just doesn't have as great a foothold outside our sphere. I was a bit surprised it o

This is a much larger problem. Fail open and you potentially let someone who has been evicted with a relatively unsophisticated method. Fail closed and you lock someone out. Now, if you are going to say you are solving the problem, it means

It depends on “when” along the timeline of the project. If we don’t know if anyone will want the product, the quality of the product is less valuable than validation of product market fit. Later, I care much more about avoiding accidental c

So, then, who are the right people for the kind of financial questions that require experience but don't need an ongoing relationship? (For example, someone who has an existing IRA but would like to convert it as to later take advantag
