I think the example with the soccer field is great. People think and speak differently if they know that there are taboos.

It's not the pipeline that falls apart, it's the formatting of data that is applied too early in the process. Report the sizes numerically in the same unit, sort them numerically, and then format the numbers in a human readable fa

I'd rather play those two games using OpenRA. Releasing Tiberium Sun (> 20 years old) RedAlert 2 (also 20 years old) would be a great move that actually made a difference.

Gary Kasparov was a chess grand master, and, obviously, not a great strategists. Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, is not known for his chess abilities.

My intention was really not putting pressure on the publisher as a buyer of this book. I rather wonder why certain books have an early access option and others don't. I probably won't be able to read it before July, anyway, becaus

Working through a technical book of any substance, as opposed to just reading or skimming it, will take dozens of hours, no matter how terse or verbose the style is. The book is supposed to be around 270 pages, so verbosity probably won&#x2

I always wonder why some many developers work with Postman (or Postwoman), and so without any automation whatsoever. Example: Requesting some JSON payload and extracting some generated id from it looks like a clumsy point-and-click adventur
