If you are dissatisfied then (in my opinion) you have two main choices - get out or stay and find something you like about your job. If you aren't happy there, consider what is making you stay. Is it just the salary or or do you have a

Good article. I think the issue is the often 'higher ups' want 'Agile' as they've heard it is faster and/or cheaper - missing the part that it is faster and cheaper to fail with agile. If you know exactly wha

True, but they still have the '8 day free trial then £59.99 a year billing' for some apps. My wife installed a design app she wanted to try out, forgot to cancel and was stung last week. For such a high purchase price that feels

There is heaps of counter culture both online and in the real world - even in my small English town. And so much of what was counter culture has been co-opted into general culture now too. I'd say things, ideas, opportunities and ways

2 decades ago I was in Thialand, and my friend hired a Honda C90 moped to get around the island we were on. After 2 weeks he took it back to the rental place and the owner wouldn't accept it as it wasn't his moped - looked just th

Do you buy that some people were ill for a long time after SARs? After Spanish Flu? Check out https://www.science.org/content/article/blood-abnormalities-... You started this by saying you had done zero research,

Some people were debilitated for years after Spanish Flu, more recently people had very similar issues after getting SARs. The SARs long term impacts cross over really strongly with Long Covid. It would be great it is was hysteria, but sadl

If you look back at the GPs comments you can see some that were flagged/closed recently, a few that were downvoted and also a good number of threads that turned into meta threads with others posters that get downvoted. So looks like so

It isn't that bad - but for 'most' people the idea of riding in the rain it what stops them - they wouldn't want to arrive at work with wet hair or clothes. Alternatively they worry about being sweaty or smelly in the su

I'm not too sure about your ability to gauge others speeds. Most cyclists (or at least the average cyclist) is not doing 20mp+. I cycled daily for nearly 10 years, and while I could sprint fast, 20mph was my standard speed, and I was f

To be clear, I would rarely jump if the lights had just changed Red - more if I was approaching and the crossing was clear - at a pedestrian crossing if everyone who wanted to cross had passed, or at a cross roads type junction where there

I used to be quite against this and just felt that drivers needed to learn to live with cyclists (I as I had) - until I went to Holland and witnessed properly funded cycling infrastructure. Cycling in Holland is an absolute pleasure, and de

I cycled for 10 years in London, and for the first year I jumped lights until I decided against it one day. I just didn't want to give people a reason to be annoyed with me as the aggression people showed to cyclists was pretty high at

Which apartment block do you thing a most people would rather live in, the one that charges you an extra 10 percent a year but promises to replace all your belongings if it ever burns down, or one that tells you it will never burn down?

I do agree that serendipity and connection are two things that can be harder to build remotely, but they are not impossible. I still feel that "we" haven't learnt the skills or tools for great remote working, yet.

Totally! I'll remember some silly experience and the 'meditate' on that, working through various options or ideas, replaying or changing what happened and why. Can be so boringly minor, but my mind obviously needs it as some
