Daily standup experience correlates with competence of the scrum master. If they can keep it under 5 minutes, call people out for rambling, prevent engineers from going down a rabbit hole,and do complexity and time management well, people w

They peaked at LG V20. Replaceable battery, useful 2nd screen, and kickass audio chip. An end of an era...

I love Bertrand Russell's writing style. His piece on writing is a must read: http://personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Philosophy/RBwritings/how... He translates this: "Human beings are completely exempt f

Am I wrong to think that this post needs a couple of revisions? It feels like it is all over the place. I don't know if it's just me but the structure and organization feels so off... The tone of the article makes it seem like the

The thing that shines about Go is its simplicity. It's relatively easy to get started, and to me not having as many whistles and bells prevents high complexity codebases.

My take on the Bitclout is that it's another mechanism for people to hedge inflationary risk by pegging the value of their cash to the individual. The revolutionary idea that this project seems to get at is that anyone can create their

I love this story, especially her attitude about wanting to find out for herself and not take anyone else's word. That curiosity and questioning what others have overlooked goes a long way towards discovery.

I worry about this kind of censorship. There is no guarantee that the WHO is right either. Remember that the entire group of doctors thought blood letting was a good idea. How can we be sure that modern science doesn't have significant

These are new grads who have spent 16 years at school. They have no baseline for what a healthy work environment looks like. Turning in your first notice is a lot harder especially at an elite institution like GS.

I don't understand why people hate on calendar apps so much. They are also not there yet. My definition of an ideal calendar app is it would set the meetings I need for the right amount of time with the right people. It will obtain the

If you want a crazy win, then you have to invest in some crazy things. Crazy simple also makes sense. YC is doing what they were created to do. To invest in extremely early stage startups no one is willing to bet on. But maybe their product

Jesus Christ people. Give it a break. I hate this Reddit post. You're not going to build the next Apple today by making your first product a full fledged competitive modern computer. Remember that Microsoft started with a BASIC interpr

If you read the original Anatomy of a Search Engine paper by Google co-founders, you'd be amazed at the constraints they had to engineer around with back then. Many of the constraints that they had to engineer around don't exist a

Network effect is strong, but we've overestimated the stickiness of Facebook. Have you been on it recently? It's effectively a ghost town. The most people use it for is for messenger.

I've talked to a lot of people who've done this and have not found a single person who regretted that decision. Go for it. You only have one life.

I agree with everything you say. Part of the problem is PMs and the scrum masters with certificates and no technical experience run the show and play presenter/jira manager. Most of the time they have no idea what's going on and

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villian I guess. When something becomes big enough the quality starts degrading rapidly as a function of complacency.

That's an interesting thought but I'm not sure if it can be applied to software. Part of what makes security hard seems that it only takes a single point of failure in a chain of dependencies to go bad. If there is a loophole on o

It seems like most of these problems are technical in nature, which can be solved with better silicon and design schemes. I was very anti-blockchain for a while, but if you zoom out it makes a whole lot of sense. The revolution that happene

If I was a college student during covid, I would opt for that year off. I totally agree with you that college is a social experience. In terms of work, however, I think it depends on the organization and people's stage of life. If you

This is something I have not considered before. I've always thought chat was a medium where you can go asynchronous at any time. This indicates a failure in design. If they want a sync chat, then there should be an easy UI element for

I agree that there are mundane and boring aspects of any job. But if you can confidently say I love my job you're at a good place. That said, I can never tell if people who say they love their job actually love their job or are lying t

I love the author's writing style. I found it kind of funny. But there's a lot he could've done better. My top recommendation would've been to find someone in medicine as a co-founder. This could've helped him find

This is the part that I really don't get. Apple takes away all those features, but then brings them back? What is the reasoning behind this?
