> That entire group of middle-aged people, who made up the adult world when my father was a child, is gone. That really got me. How can I bring these people, this "adult world" forward in time as a gift to my children?

OK, but the poster is a party clown. How is he supposed to get business? He can't just show up to kids' birthdays when he hears them down the street.

Human beings share our experiences with one another and reflect on them via storytelling. This has been our way for millennia, if not millions of years. No subject is too trivial, nor profound; too obvious, nor intimate. Communication enabl

Yikes! If I'm going to spend all week working with others, I hope they're not thinking this way about me. I don't know what "corporate" dance you're talking about, exactly, and I agree that "family" i

No, it's not a disaster, but with a little imagination it could be a hormetic innoculation.

I'd look to Peter Naur's 1985 paper, "Programming as Theory Building," to remind us that writing meaningful commit messages is essential insofar as it is the discipline that confirms and preserves the intellectual "

Because then I would have to test, write, and maintain that code—and it becomes susceptible to leaky abstractions!

That's right--prices adjusted based on inventory, and webhooks triggered when an order comes in! Thank you for grokking my idiomatic speech.

How's your API? I often consider putting together a sort of algorithmically driven print-on-demand storefront. I want to be able to script prices, product descriptions, things like that. And see them show up in a request on sale.

It's a simple, timeless, inescapable law of the universe that failures, while potentially damaging, are acceptable risks. The Pareto principle suggests that addressing only the most critical 20% of issues issues yields a disproportiona

Data/ML and Apps split seems pretty normal to me, even in a company of ~20. What makes a group of coworkers into "an org"? That they don't attend one-another's retros?
