I tend to agree that ideally you want to have a the right processes in place so that you can ship anytime . I am annoyed every single Friday that I have a stack of things ready but... nope, not on Friday. Many of us are a long ways away fr

Various people seem to think I'm blaming the person doing the work - nope, I didn't. Blame isn't the point and won't fix anything. But strategically the best option is to work with stakeholders towards incremental force,

I would go with an incremental progression of something like 100 random devices a week for 17 weeks, so that people see the tidal wave eating others and suddenly "get it". Less overwhelming for the service/support desk folk

Having read it, I'm still not sure what people are missing. OpenAI has a lot of money now? I get that. Microsoft owns a big chunk of OpenAI? I get that. Help me out here: What am I missing that people are missing?

You work for google because you make insane money and have cachet you can take anywhere and get hired instantly. Hell, you can pull in 10 million funding for your startup idea if you like. Or just retire, get a boat, go sailing. Of course a

Yes: It is that easy to end up frog-in-a-pot. I've seen it, and I've done it. I've seen it nearly kill people and cause them to give up on careers. And this underlines what stress is all about: Not working hard, but spinnin

I would suggest using password-based encryption rather than anything that forces auto-generated keys or what-have-you (like an SSH private key). Can't guarantee you'll always remember that password, but you'll have a fighting

You know more about the subject than I do, but I don't think you're entirely contradicting one of the author's key points: It's incredibly hard to rewrite a system from scratch - and in effect, to just write a system

Well I think the author got one thing right: > The “Pop” in “Pop Culture” stands for “popularity”. If it’s popular then it must be right. And that's social media simplified. The internet is filled with pop-seeking garbage because po
