So, could you say "ok, but I still can't do that"

That's the point I am making, and the point of asking "what is the alternative" Developers aren't alone in adhering to schedules. Many folks in many roles do it. All deal with missed deadlines, success, expectation manag

I'm happy to be reoriented with examples. Please provide some? You said countless but mentioned none.

Not sure if new but every tool has its coaches and influencers. Running entire businesses off some SaaS tool. Not long ago I felt like I was swarmed with posts from Notion coaches. Obsidian no different. Repeat for every other tool out ther

3 sounds fine. Then I ask: why not add a week to how long that thing will take, meaning it stretches two sprints (or whatever you call it). Add upfront. Then if you get to hard convo where someone says “do it sooner” you say “not possible.”

I don’t disagree but is the alternative unbounded dev where you write code until it’s perfect? That doesn’t sound like a better business outcome. The trade off can’t be “take as long as you want”

I’m not a power user/poster but I see it as no less valuable than many other similar places. All of them have similar problems. For me it’s probably bifurcated by time spent tuning the feeds.

I love that we are ignoring Git and taking Legos. Anyone have a solution for another annoying problem: 1 missing piece. Somehow got lost halfway through the build.

Yup: golf. Go out there and enjoy the air, sun, walk, company.

Sorry - what doesn't work? Discovery? I think it's possible to listen and discover things (e.g. companies I don't know) without further succumbing to opinions or other comments about those companies.

Your scenario sounds like a nightmare of sorts. Constant chatter of what or where to go and no commit to one place. I think you can overcome a lot of excuses by meeting at one place and then sorting it out.

But you can buy newspapers in lots of places and read them. And magazines!

Totally. I’m in insurance. So much is unsexy but critical. And that’s where you see a lot of folks churning on core systems, process, etc that makes insurance actually work vs any headline tech/investment/AI stuff. Don’t get me wr

In a way it also looks like a16z buying their own marketing blog/news unit. Echo chamber. I happen to like listening to TBPN for discovery purposes.

It’s everywhere. Bill Simmons. Makes me insane. How many individual podcast hosts actually control those advertising slots?

I also think this has to do a lot with storytelling and message in the company. Do you have someone that can motivate and etc. Many things are boring under the hood to someone and interesting to someone else, but a good story about why and

Got it. Thanks for article. Not on West Coast so hearing less about SF things. Don’t see much or anything about the drug part here either - the part I was really curious about.

Interesting. Is he a known user? Also curious if you are more broadly against some of that overall?

A well-written reflection on top of Marc's point in the podcast. I don't think it's a hot-take as I'm sure many others will be. I've tried to interpret his point with a less literal lens. The real point being: give

What router and associated configuration software are you using? I have a Eero mesh network that leaves a lot to be desired for a fiddler like me.
