Thank you for sharing this - I wish I had read something like this much earlier in my career. Sadly I am unable to properly thank my mentors of 25+ years ago but perhaps I can still send a nice note to those who more recently are "some

How often do you look at exterior photos of the Hubble? Secondly, do we collectively as smart people honestly care what the ivermectin crowd thinks about exploring the cosmos?

This is all well and fine, but if you're going to go commando and update a production system by hand you should have a backup plan in mind before you start. With SQL, that could be as simple as starting a transaction, doing your comman

100% agree. Costco actively curates the products they sell. They even have "roadshows" where vendors literally compete with each other to get selected. Why this matters to me is that by doing so, they have earned my trust. I have

There’s a reason why the ‘98 Honda Civic and ‘97 Honda Accord are the most stolen cars to this day. Anti-theft features largely work very well. Removing the anti-theft features from very expensive phones is going to be a non-starter for the

I couldn't agree more. This issue is super duper clear but nobody seems to "get" it. Too enamored with the idea of a folk hero to consider the fallout from a long view perspective.

That cavalier attitude is fine for NEW features, but not for basic apps and foundations of an OS. iOS 13 shipped with the Mail app broken. That's almost as bad as not being able to make calls. Would a BlackBerry ever ship with a broken
