Am I really that unique in never having used the trackpad on a laptop at all, other than a last resort being forced to use some weird non-Lenovo thing without a nipple? Always an external mouse in the backpack and the nipple as a fallback.

This sound like a symptom of having too many smart people with too many diverging architectural ideas at the same place. How do the mgmt get them to march in the same direction? Easy, find the top 1% and create a mythological narrative arou

I like this and it got me thinking about the part where the author talks about the the huge _space_ of work that we _start_ with and by the _time_ we're _done_ someone had done all the work in that space. For me this is a good way of t

I don't like this metaphor at all. What are the features? The meals? Every day, the same meals? With clear recipes and easy estimating when they're done. Hundreds of features everyday and doing the dishes pretty much resets everyt
