+1 for 1Password. It’s really quite nice from a user’s perspective, including needing to recover my lost login after getting set up then forgetting about it for a few months. It took only a few minutes to get recovered. I’m not honestly sur

Yup. Obviously this isn’t black and white - but for the type of presentation / meeting from the blog - the decision is not the presentation. :-)

Love the Wire : Rawls I think is a great character because he twists the premise. There’s a corollary (I edited my post to make it explicit): all actions should be in the organizations interest. He doesn’t subscribe to that.

It’s a litmus test. And tbh it’s (if you want) a way to get more visibility or credibility because you can take the todo, then go back later and say “here’s the answer. If you want more detail I can go over it with you.”

Missing from this (possibly it’s in the author’s book which I’ve not yet read but it’s on my list): For a certain level of discussion, the outcome might have already been set, and the meeting is a formality to make it so. So as long as the

1. Communication Skills - not just “how to do a presentation,” or “actively listen,” but how to suss out the communication style of others, and relate to them in a way that they’ll engage with. Some people are listeners. Some are readers.

We evaluated pulsar plus trino/presto a bit ago which seems to be similar in spirit. Pulsar promised to be a slick follow on to Kafka with tiered storage. We found some terrible write/read latency problems when we tried to force t

So what’s the deal on realistically being able to generate something based on Figma? For example - if I have a custom UI framework can I generate a skeleton my front end team can use? And second - how much “behavior” can we write in to the

I feel the same way about restaurants. I realized a few years ago that I don’t crave Enoteca’s rigatoni; I crave the feeling of unwinding with some friends after a failed attempt at going to an ice cream festival. We were hot. Annoyed. Tire

Fascinating. So I guess I date myself there. But - it makes sense having read a bit. There’s remarkable complexity. “Strong statistical bounds” is again a reason for me to say “it is amazing anything works, anywhere.” I say this typing on a
