Didn’t have much luck with my question, but I guess I wouldn’t have expected much from a synthetic MBA.

I’ll just repeat what I’ve said before: it’s not about people, it’s about real estate valuation and taxes. The folks making the RTO mandates (CEOs) are, as a whole, completely uninterested in employee preferences compared to the value of th

I recall the expected rate of return on investments (measured over decades) to be closer to 5% than 40%. Nonetheless, compounding does work - it just takes a little more capital and a little longer.

At first I thought this was more clever than it was. Taking people into running downloaded or attached exe files is simple and apparently still effective. But what would be even more wicked, and effective would be pointing them to a GitHub

Take care. I can’t begin to know your experience. The fact is that I live with an unyielding fear of people. So even as I’m grateful for the joy in the house right now I’m deeply uncomfortable, bordering on panic. Im grateful that I can see

I have a houseful of giggling, happy teens right now. The ones that are supposed to be suffering so awfully according to some. They aren’t. They have struggles and fears I know of, and many I don’t I’m sure. They are just as pragmatic about

I have been doing a lot of work with AWS StepFunctions lately, everything from replacing cron jobs to implementing HTMX backends. I think StepFunctions is an interesting case study (I'm not really familiar with other offerings, other t

When I was in school I played soccer and pole vaulted, at very little cost (which was good as I was one of seven children raised by a single mom - very modest means). The statistics are pretty clear that non-academic activities aren’t neces

Indeed. I enjoy vacuuming (sorry iRobot) for the mindlessness, repetitive pattern and results. Likewise, mowing and hedge trimming. And, dubiously, I’m building a small wooden boat for something “completely different”. To connect with the t

The history of app stores is pretty clear on this — the primary ways to get non-negligible exposure is to get promoted/featured (literally “picked as a winner”), or somehow trigger a viral word of mouth event. One can pay to advertise

Pour on the hate, but I still miss Windows Phone.

Close to home. I may be the only customer of my current project. My hope is that I’m just “early” and not “too early”.

Fraud is a pretty light word. An overt act that results in someone’s death goes by some more serious words, and without a convenient statute of limitations pass.

I’ve never heard of this until seeing it here. I’m dumbfounded.

It’s a bit faster than the trains running from Portland to Seattle, so there’s that to celebrate. Hopefully it gets faster over time. Comparing to flying Portland to Seattle, it’s a wash mostly when including transfer times (airports are in

How many servers does Stack overflow run on? It’s not a good measure of data volume or criticality. I think “expensive” here is basically relative to revenue/margin. Where margins are high, spending on Splunk (etc.) isn’t meaningful. W

Oh yeah, totally agree. I’m a little sensitive about the kind of extrapolations that are so common with some of these articles/announcements - it doesn’t make science look good, and it’s important that science does.

Two logs connected for some purpose near a River == must be a house? Not a raft, which would be much easier and obvious and helpful?

The point the article makes to me (as a leader) is “keep the billing model simple, honest and stick with it”. The cost of change is high, and the value isn’t to the people getting the work done. My peers would likely see this as “naive” and

Isn’t economic growth largely predicated in population growth? Some argue “no” but I find them unconvincing. My fear is that the business leadership community will be very, very slow to adapt to a reality where growth is much, much more di

I tend to agree with this, but there is an important missing bit: context. Specifically, what is the operational overhead of the team? More plainly, how many lines of code/systems/processes/etc. is the team burdened with and

Opinions are never wrong (a truism that they are the product of their author), but statements of fact can be.

Sorry for your experience. I’m not going to be very helpful, but nonetheless… This should be a solved problem, but isn’t. Looking at the code alone is only effective if there is some hint as to the context — the runtime environment. And, th

In a profits interest where the taxes due are zero, it probably is required to make the 83b election, and as far as I can see there is no downside (though a profits interest can come with other downsides).

Yes. The primary reason would be the obvious one: if the company is less valuable in the future (there are many reasons this could be true, even if it grows), or fails (bankruptcy), you’ve prepaid taxes that would otherwise not be due (and

At $25k per month per person that’s $30,000,000,000 per year for the 100,000 folks with CF. As a T1D I get it, but there is no way of escaping the other impactful uses of that sum.

I can tolerate, and even respect an honest cheat. But a lying cheat has a special place in hell. Related: “It’s a miracle any of this works. People were involved.”
