I was at Dick's sporting goods and the cleats section was this special "app" area where you could either enter in your search criteria or scan shoes so associates would approach you with the shoes in hand. The app was slow as

Many of them can telecommute. Many companies can set up a smaller satellite campus - even if its a few desks in NH. Companies need to see where people are commuting from and set up a small office to capture those people. Who thinks it&#x27

If I use 74 tons of 24 karat gold to create one plant - I don't care much about how much gold is in the plant. I care about how much less gold I have now.

A portion of office space needs to become more fungible. Work office pods of 4-8 offices or desks that are lockable if needed. Small satellite offices that don't need big commutes would probably bring in more people. I like the idea

I agree - college is a filter - not a tech tree. In engineering school you solve problems similar to industry - but its more the difficulty than the similarity. New grads can handle the difficulty your job provides. If you train them - the

I think things like folding and cameras on phone isn't why you go out looking for a phone. It's just to nudge you towards their product when you're given the choices.

To be honest I already thought programs like waze partnered with local metro area governments to reduce traffic. Guess I was wrong. Open up an API for governments to drop in temporary blockers in the map (with appropriate lead-up times too

I think they should call them gatherer-hunter lifestyles. The bulk of calories for paleo/neo-lithic people came from stuff that didn't run away.

This stuff is good - but it's penny wise. Agriculture is outright wasteful of water. California agriculture consumes 80% of the state's water. https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/Agric

I don't know if this will bite me in the long run but I'm learning to accept that I am at a particular level and others are attaining higher levels. I will learn and grow and that's fine. But at some point I have to accept ba

Downward price pressure from competition only works when there's competition - not monopoly or monopsony.

Its frustrating to realize we've been at this task of raising and educating children for the better part of 250,000 years and we still haven't got the knack of it.

HTMX brings new life to tech like django which can catapult MVPs into production asap. Backend engineers are now able to write management tools and experimental products faster - and then pass the winning products off to a fluttr team to co

Another fair but PITA is the child penalty when it comes to traveling. Because the way schools are set up - everyone in a geographic area has to travel on specific weeks. So airlines jack up prices incredibly. Like - from some price that a

Learning tech through documentation is hard for some people. People who try to make something easy by force of "magic words" is pretty common in the tech industry. People who write the docs likely do not want the reader to feel st

I agree with the post. If you consider that your docs are also a form of advertising... don't shoot yourself in the foot and make your readers feel stupid. I would go one step further. If we are talking about CLI tool usage - the cli

I am still floored that pair programming hasn't become the standard for interviews. Get a simple kata or problem - that the interviewer AND interviewee haven't seen before. Set up a "code with me" session. Pair program.

Pair program with your graduate candidates. Do they work well with you? Are they flexible? Do they have mastery of typing and editing code? If yes - then hire them. Don't hire people based off programming riddles. Don't hire peo

I could be convinced to commute to a satellite office that's not affected by rush hour traffic. There's a lot of real estate available in the burbs. These don't really exist though, and their expense far outweighs their ben

I wonder when companies will just become outright hostile to their customers and dispense with the corpora-bullshit.

I wonder what would happen if they spun stuff off instead of killing stuff. Keep 20% ownership, it's an alternative to layoffs.

I like the idea of AI helping the average person write good enough content when and where its needed. I don't like the idea of the internet becoming a vast wasteland of spam...which is what 60% the case right now? But its only a matter
