Meetings. <rant> This has slowly and surely become the top reason for productivity loss at work for me and in my opinion, also for the team that I work in. I have walked out them once I realize there's no valuable input or output

RSS IS easy. Filtering, caching, routing, fancy features are not. I’m okay with a poor RSS feed over none.

Adding an RSS feed is easy. Individual writers and hosts have no good reason for not including them. For groups / publishing houses that are not techinically bent generally use publishing platforms that generally support them. For the

I’ve been using Noguchi system fairly regularly, for general purpose notes and I imagine it could be very effective in developer journals too. I like the way Its described here, though I use plain text instead of MMD : http://www

> Anything beyond a few hundred lines starts to carry a lot more cognitive load. Not to mention that we are now building full fledged applications with tens of thousands of lines in this language. Agree completely.

I want my programming language to be predictable and easy to use. I'll "well design" my code, thats what I get paid to do. Type safety, yeah, never bothered me much anyway. I agree, it sucks that js the only alternative in so

You've got me thinking now. Can you/anyone give me 3 solid cases where the flaw was in javascript and not the programmers understanding of the language ? I can't. (Not at the moment at least). Most of the times I got things

Something wasn’t done right, right off the bat, thats grounds for not liking it, sure. But to dismiss it as immature despite it overcoming most (not all) of those flaws seems unfair. I like it, some dont. I get it. All I ask is to not dismi

I fail to get the flak that javascript faces ! Coming from java it was a breath of fresh air. This was the car that let me drive without a seatbelt when i wanted, let the doors be open if i wanted, stepping on the gas accelerated without fa

My current approach is to be liberal with redundancy as I begin a prototype and then gradually replace it with dependencies as my code matures. This approach seems most realistic to me and I have used it to much success. Ill-formed or too m

I am presenting instances of non productive rituals/tasks that constantly eat up my working hours. Working remotely allows me to mentally disconnect from such meetings and partially get mundane work tasks done e.g. reports, running tes

I see most work places tend to sway ‘remote heavy’ or ‘commute heavy’. Too much either way is clearly not working out. Like all efficient mechanisms, I think the key is to allow a certain degree of flexibility and handing it over to the emp

I can vouch for that statement. A daily standup that exceeds 30 mins, a grooming and planning meeting that extends all 8 hours of a day in a sprint with unclear stories, surprise bug triage meetings ranging between 30 mins to 2 hrs, meeting

I feel most management folks box reportees into ‘talkers’ and ‘doers’. I see a lot more talkers these days being encouraged at the expense of the doers.

by sh87 9y ago
Indeed. Flexible hours should also be added in allowing people to decide with a fair degree of freedom the hours they want to work remotely and the hours they’d be better off at work. My commute times are worst during peak office hours i.e.

I am in favor of incremental education. (Agile if you will) Right now education is in waterfall mode. College -> Work. Both focus on different goals and clearly they are not aligned and they shouldn't be either. I would be in favor

Very neat UI. How you calculate the "impact on price" is still not clear to me. I wanted to build something like this, will keep coming back to check on updates. Edit: just read your response on the other question. Do you imagine

I am surprised with what the author could infer from questionnaires. I feel questionnaires are stupid. I do have ideas on how stuff I use often could be made better and I share it with the creators if there is a way to reach out to them. I

I'm okay with bulkier, replacable batteries which are reasonably cheap. Most people I know would like it too. Are we not a part of "the market" ? As a kid I would confidently open up any electronic device without worrying to

My comment came across snarky. I apologize. I agree cs 101 is not the world. I also agree some concepts cannot be simplified and it shouldn't. My point was what you hinted towards when you say "distilling things down". My gri
