First, thanks for making this and putting it out into the world. As someone who always tends to end up with an unreasonable number of tabs, I'm always interested in more and better tab management options. That said, I'm wondering

Because I prefer to be able to afford to spend six months to a year out of work. It's the same principle as startups working to ensure their runway is as long as feasibly possible.

One piece that's missing from this essay is the role of one's friends and family. When I had to replace my car a few years ago, I chose a modest Subaru. I was asked repeatedly by people in my social circle why I didn't chose

I was put off by the fact that the author apparently has examples, but refuses to share any, because they're "infohazards". Instead they advance an argument by analogy. If this effect, memetic inoculation, is so prevalent, we

It's May 6, 2022. You're launching your startup next month. Are you going to host on-prem? What, with server equipment backlogs now 4-6 months, and that's if you're a large enterprise customer? On-prem or cloud, why wo

Have you done an audit in the other direction? How many "cloud native" apps do you have, which would realize similar cost reductions from moving to on-prem? The point I was trying to make is that many companies, especially newer s

That's a good guess, but I know a couple people who worked for Optum and they told me that they use Adobe Experience Manager [1] as a CMS to allow business and marketing folks to change content. I bet that's what the the Adobe red

Go to your favorite cloud console and provision it.Better yet, use a serverless architecture and don't even worry about servers! Your own data center? Right now there's a 4-6 month wait time for new servers and storage equipment,

You would still be able to do that without a staging area by having `git commit` take roughly the same arguments as `git add`. So instead of running `git add foo bar baz` followed by `git commit`, you'd just write `git commit foo bar b

In my experience, if they say the assignment should take 3-4 hours to do, you should set aside 8 hours. The expected lengths for assignments always seem to assume that you won't run into any setup or configuration issues and that you&#

The adaptive approach: Products should ship as soon as they're ready for market, not according to some deadline. To ship sooner, they should be sliced into pieces that have compelling individual value. Each piece is shipped when ready

I agree that the concept behind git is powerful and elegant. I very much disagree that the implementation of git is elegant. For example: how many things does `git checkout` do? And I still don't understand what the point is of havin

That's very interesting! My understanding of World War 1 is from Tuchman's The Guns of August and Clark's The Sleepwalkers , and both of those don't seem to rate the Germans as being more flexible at the beginning of

That's incorrect. In World War 1 both sides had extremely rigid operational plans. The German operational plan even included specific times down to the hour, for when specific bridges and road junctions should be captured. Indeed,

Yeah, I agree that it's challenging to fill up a 3840x2160 or an ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor. But I see apps (Gmail being a prime example) that don't even fill up 1920x1080 window.

That's exactly the problem! There's this idea that, if we automate the 80%, developers will do the last 20%, and we'll end up in a land of milk and honey, where mobile apps scale up their information density and rearrange the

I disagree with the whole premise of having a single app for both desktop and mobile. Even if you give developers the tools to make a good app for desktop and mobile, they won't. They'll make the mobile app first, ensure that it r
