I'm inclined to agree. Giving a neutral, business sounding label to something like this, and normalising it doesn't make it right. As an interaction between two individuals, this would be immediately recognised as morally wrong, e

Uses the same folder-list paradigm as ClickUp, which, as a long time JIRA user recently converted to ClickUp, I find to be a plus. The simplicity and responsiveness of the interface appears to be an improvement over ClickUp. However, one th

This strongly resonates with recent experience. I've come to realise that a lot of problems in software engineering are a result of either having one thing achieve two or more goals, or having two or more things to achieve one goal. Th

I'm 43 now. I was never a "born hacker". In fact, I only started getting good at coding toward my late 20's. And I began to develop some serious chops by my mid thirties. Of course, the sheer amount of coding I do has go

When considering killing the baby, also be aware that complex systems that work, almost always evolve from simple systems that work. A complex system can rarely be developed from the ground up (i.e. via a rewrite). One may then interpret th

A solution I envisioned around 2018: Email re-skinned as a social network [1]: consider a social network that uses email as its communications protocol and regular mail servers as the “cloud”. There is no “platform”, but an app which is bas

Hello from Colombo, Sri Lanka. Been in HK a few times around 2010 (developed something for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange). Awesome place. Hope you'll gradually regain the freedoms you had back then.

Hello from Colombo, Sri Lanka. I was there on work this September. Incredible place. Like a more chilled out version of New York. I envy your distance from all the crap that's going on in the world.

Hello from Colombo, Sri Lanka. I'm a former C++ dev turned manager, running an engineering team of about 60 engineers (stack: MERN + AWS). But my current passion is how to help bring about social change in Sri Lanka, after a series of

This is how we used to write C++ twenty years ago. I used to maintain about 100,000 LOC and I never felt this was an additional cognitive load. In fact, it was beneficial to have the sequence of code always mirroring the sequence of executi

Exactly. If your car company cannot be profitable with airbags, then you shouldn't be in the car business (to use an analogy).

Am I an anomaly? I hear this often among engineers but I don't seem to have this issue. I can literally pick up from the line of code or document I left off from last evening. The only type of work where I need to "rebuild context

If going to the moon involves incorporating the reactions of competitors into your plans, then yes. Otherwise I believe the word "method", "plan" or "technique" would suffice. For example, I have always been my

To me, strategy is a plan of action within a system that dynamically resists your attempts at progress, usually due to the presence of other agents similar to yourself. Chess is a good microcosmic example.
