What I am saying is that “making money” is one factor most of legibility processes directly revolve around in any modern company. Not a second-order side effect, as original article implies.

This is an interesting thought model to consider, but whole article is very biased and opinionated. It reads like a "small companies do it better" manifesto without giving any real insights into operations of large companies. For

Innovation is very slow in photography world these days, X-T5 made a big jump in MP count compared to X-T4, but resolution aside image quality is pretty much the same, and other improvements were marginal. I still use X-T2, and it has not r

Seems you just got 1st line robo-reply repeating what public resources state. Does not say much about actual compression algorithm Sony uses.

Replies you get tell me it is more akin to Agile movement at this point. People are mixing “lines of code per minute” with tangible results. Are you more personally ‘productive’ if your agent can crunch out PoCs of your hobby projects at ni

Wait, so now there are thinking-outside-the-box-execs who don’t need any evidence, and regular-gimme-evidence-execs who do?

I think what most replies miss is the emphasis this article makes on the experience, not the pricing. There might be whole new market in between X-half, toy cameras and iPhones. Try shooting anything except your phone, and you will drown in

This is a word play - in the watch world “complication” means “feature”, and this watch has 41 features, which requires tricky design decisions and high precision to house everything in a case that is still wearable. Something to be proud o

CTO is "management" by definition. Do you mean to say most companies have non-technical CTOs who treat engineering as commodity? That might have been the case with CIO/CTOs coming from pre-2010s era where they indeed were mai

Have you considered extra time it would take for some person other than yourself to get onboarded into the problem you are solving? It can quickly add 2-3 extra hours on top of that [seemingly easy] work.

They are quite expensive for the content, given these are not true learning courses, more like well structured and deep interviews. But photo education is very tech(nique) focused nowadays, so I don’t know any good online alternatives that

Uniqueness is not the end goal, first and foremost it should be competitive. Just highlight where exactly you do things differently (and better) than others. If that's not possible to formulate even internally, the company is in troubl

The line that says "let's stretch your time off from X days to Y days" is actually misleading, because algorithm optimises for longer consecutive vacations, not for larger amount of vacation days. Following your strategy the

You are coming from a rational position with the focus on optimization. Large organizations are not rational, and rarely optimal. Executive backlogs are so deep that purposefully re-fitting whole team to another job will never end up on the

My experience: only the good operational execs engage personally, and only for specific reasons of gathering feedback and improving the overall system. You’d be surprised how often decisions are made without ever seeing people at work, or

Objectively, original post had little to no details in it to link it to any kind of typology. Sidenote: the fact that someone came up with another typology or classificator does not mean they know how to predict the outcomes in any way. It
