+1 We had a multi-month project to get a subset of our data considered 'clean', and it required a consultant, a stats PhD and many dev hours. It was healthcare, so on the high end of paranoia (justifiably) but nowhere it is as sim

Read the rest of his blog; it’s wonderful and I’m devastated that someone I followed for years is going to vanish. Thank you for giving us all some of your time on this earth.

I’m inclined to agree with all this but when I’m conversation with someone who has only ever been in a Manager schedule, what would you recommend I point to as actual evidence? Specifically on the cost of meetings to developers.

Strong +1 (squared) to the quadratic voting suggestion. But I don’t think that it could be implemented in any sizable existing community, it is just too abstract of a benefit. But the discussion around SMOL Webb communities, feels applicabl

I’m like 95%, but not 100%, sure this is not a deep fake. Is there any corroborating evidence that he actually said this? If true, it should be easy, since it looks like a pretty well attended event. Alternatively, I would love some pointer

I'm definitely open to more models for funding, but it didn't seem like Kickstarter really worked even for what should have been its sweet spot. Definitely tell me if I'm wrong, but the fact that they had to put out this blog

Did anybody else seem to get better after COVID forced a work from home? I did not think of my commute as especially bad, nor any other part of being in the office, but the timing is pretty coincidental

One big open question for me is what my body counts as stress. I have had short, objectively stressful situations, which had no impact. My longer-term stresses feel like they are more of the style “it’s a job, that is why they pay you“ but

I am about five years out from a similar situation, so let me give you a glimmer of hope: I did get better, very slowly. I wish I could say why, I’ve obviously tried all sorts of things and also a lot of life has happened between then and n

Look at the plots, there is one huge outlier in the small number of overall samples which is driving a lot of the results. I don’t even disagree with the conclusions, but this is not strong evidence for it.

I was terrified when my company was bought by PE in a very hostile way (founding CEO forced out, immediate layoffs, etc). But honestly things got better, and the employee experience was at least as good as it had been during the “oh shoot w

I’ve done consulting; you have control about how you write your contract. If they want to lock you up for a long period they should be willing to pay for it.

You’re not wrong on the facts, but if you’re implying that we should not feel good about this story, I disagree. One crab has managed to climb out of the bucket. The rest of us should celebrate for a minute and then redouble our efforts to

I don’t live there, but as a general rule, people overestimate the probability of “collapse“. Things can be declining for a long time without the dramatic acceleration that merits that term.
