It always boggles my mind how these guys are raising that much money without any plan.

I assume a lot of food is produced like toothpaste. I used to know a guy whose dad had a factory that produced toothpaste and shampoo for almost all big brands. They did R&D for them and just put slightly different recipes into the bra

Sometimes I buy sugar free corn flakes and although they should be cheaper theoretically, in reality they cost a multiple of the super sugary flakes. It would be great if we could get more products that aren’t sweetened when you buy them. L

“enthusiastic presenters narrating it.” I seriously hate their narrators and all the cheering.

So basically don’t do micro services unless there is a real need :-). I am on board with that but I am old and don’t understand how modern software gets done.

When I used Hinge, I never saw a reason to pay for it. Match is basically useless without paying and for Bumble it also helps to pay. Not so much with Hinge.

From some age on (40-50?) you have to train to maintain, not to improve. Some can train really hard up to old age but most people tend to accumulate nagging injuries that can take away the ability to train at all.

In the US it's really important to separate rhetoric from what politicians really do. Unfortunately not many people do this and media mostly is about "he said/she said" without looking at substance.

"Starve the beast" really means to reduce income while not reducing spending. The goal is to pile up so much debt that future generations will have no other choice than to reduce government. Evidence is that every republican presi

It seems to me that a lot of modern architectures store the same data in multiple places. The systems I see proposed in my company probably need often 10 times more space than the actual data we have because they copy and cache a lot of stu

When I went remote, I pretty much accepted that my potential for further promotion will be very low. It was a trade I was willing to make.

I agree these people are irritating but when I look at the people that move up on my org it’s mostly “loud laborers“. They jump on a lot of initiatives championed by upper management, achieve nothing but in the end upper management and the

"in that many vision troubles are not with the eyes." I think it's the same with hearing. I have massive troubles understanding people in loud environments but on tests my hearing was above average. Seems my brain (in this ca

Totally agree. Looking ahead a little during design can save a lot of time later. You will not guess always right but usually you can make a reasonable guess where things will be going. I have had this fight with Agile absolutists. They cla

when I worked in Germany we had small offices for 2 or 3 people. I thought that was perfect. You could have nice, quiet chats and really work on things together. Open office seems to be something made up by super extroverts who think things

" I'd rather take a 50% paycut than go back to the office." People should stop saying this. Otherwise it will soon be the standard to take a serious paycut for WFH. .

I guess the answer is “it depends”. Operators are great when done in good taste and can be a complete nightmare if used too much or in bad taste.

Mine still has the touch bar but the Escape key is a real key. It's bearable but overall still a terrible idea.
