   I like to think of reading as as a transformation which has a null space where all the dumb shit goes. This one went there. It doesn't mean you can't pull out other interesting tidbits like scaling better by growing a team instea

   Odd that the three replies to your question are grayed out. I don't think there is a viable alternative to Firefox unless you accept a simple web experience and use eg w3m

    that's a good question. I've tried to pick up what I can from online communities like Spice, r/sysadmin, Linxu & CentOS forums, but the most important thing I've done is actually work on some of the Tier-0 systems (

    That was a great read. I think structures mentioned therein like the medium is the message, the form of the argument vs consequences are excellent examples of cognitive or linguistic framing, ripe for hacking

    That's a tall order in a 100k LOC app, for a small team with budget constraints. I'm pretty sure they couldn't do it your way, whereas the prelayered way set them up for a success. Prelayered raises initial complexity while

    I went through this, more or less, several years ago. But now I see the uselessly layered app being almost effortlessly retrofitted with new top and bottom layers, keeping only the original middle layer. If they hadn't layered it, the
