Self check out at Whole Foods is great. I think they’re using AI to detect produce because there are suggestions that are often accurate. I bring a backpack and like to organize it by packing big heavy things first.

Or in that moment you realize demand for your service exceeds supply and the correct response is to raise your rates until you have a reasonable workload. If they won’t pay $5k+ monthly retainer for someone who knows how to build their syst

I don't think managers intend to burn people out, they would rather have efficient, productive workers. Good workers can get overwhelmed and not get time to focus on tasks or not enough support to be successful. To sustain a high produ

My uncle owns a small business. He says it's great because he can pick the people he wants to work with and fire ones he doesn't like. I pointed out I have the same choice by walking off a bad team and finding a good one.

Yeah, Amazon search results are often infuriating. Most searches are flooded with similar items that need better filters and some notes on product differentiation. Amazon feels like a bazaar set up inside a Walmart where everyone is yelling

I worked in a campus bookstore with an old terminal system to access the inventory database. It was a simple text interface. What I loved about it was that the commands to navigate were quick to learn (key was first chars in command) and th

I'm training new developers and they often have to lean the terminal as well. Having some training wheels in there would be awesome. I can see a future where team development environments are highly customized and easy to spin up and o

I mean we have enough rednecks to get it done. Declare open season and even provide a bounty and it could be done shockingly quick. It's probably not a good idea though. I don't know, I'll yield to the science on this one.

Before we had people vaccines, we social isolated. It will be even more difficult to get deer to follow isolation and masking protocols and to show up to a vaccination clinic.

Listening to music can help us focus and work harder. Poetic experiences let us appreciate life and understand people around us. Some things give practical utility and some aesthetic value. Neither is more important than the other. We have

Sometimes I see potential for growth in situations derived from a mathematical model. Think big O applied to a business opportunity or team dynamics O(x) means linear growth. O(x^2) means exponential growth. You can use the model to analyze

As a Drupal developer, I understand what this article is saying. The issue is that these systems are built for an older paradigm and not meeting the needs of today's developers. It's taking time to adjust existing code to the new
