In my pre-COVID job I had a manager who would come over and tap me on the shoulder, sometimes not to engage me in conversation but just as a sort of primate greeting. That was about as low on the morale barometer I have ever been, and I hop

A big difference is the source material. The Beatles didn’t have a very wide exposure to music, but they had a very deep one. They grew up in an era when American R&B was literally revolutionizing the musical culture of Britain. And in

My musician friends were offended at the Beatles’ musicianship watching that film. It’s hard to realize that being great isn’t good enough, you need lightning to strike and you need to be there when it happens.

The Crazy Eddie story is most interesting to me as a window into the highly insular and particularly successful Syrian Jewish diaspora.

My advice would be for him to identify specific applications of programming that interest him and then focus on identifying the skills he'd need to develop expertise. One approach would be product or industry specific. Maybe he'e

A paid tier would be a product if it granted you access to content that solves problems you can't get for free. My take is this isn't a paid tier. It's paid features, e.g. notifications. That's not to say it provides no

Just a note to assure you that while sailing you will spend all of your time maintaining the systems that keep the rigging and electricity in working order. Any time you have left over will be spent researching which other boat you should g

If I were King of America, the tax code (and other financial instruments I can't think up on the spot) would reward companies based on the degree to which they enrich their rank and file employees.

I’m disappointed that I did not source an older bed and chests of drawers, refinish them, and plan to keep them for decades. The trouble is I barely had the time it took (single-digit hours) to compare new imported laminated particle board

Gas station food in America is, as a rule, disgusting. The worst are the corporate truck stops that have 2 liter sodas and “cheeseburger” sausages on those greased roller-heaters. That said, in parts of the country you’ll find single stores

A good barometer for when a meeting is likely ineffective is when it’s given a catchy name. 1:1, f2f, all hands, etc. That and when it’s a recurring meeting that has no end-date.
