Question - have you split-tested your productivity over a few months working 80hr/wk vs working 40hr/wk? I, too, can easily work 80+ hours a week on an interesting project. But I generally discipline myself not to do it because my

IIRC Peopleware showed that financial bonuses were tremendously effective - at reducing peoples' investment in their work.

Yes, this is the main reason. The biggest challenge for any long-form writer in 2016 is discoverability, assuming that you don't already have a huge audience and you do want people to read your writing. That's why I, for example,

You may be missing the authority dynamic here. If your co-worker looks at a designed object and says "needs more blue, change the word "giant"", that's feedback which you can then incorporate, but can also reject

I'm absolutely amazed I haven't seen Photoshop on the list yet. Incredibly powerful, very reliable, thoroughly worth the pricetag - and I don't love subscription software. It's generally a joy to use. And I can't th

That's a bit of a misunderstanding of the role of the Commission. The Parliament and even the people of Europe (via a petition) can ask the Commission to propose legislation, and in the case of the Parliament, it's widely consider

I fact-checked this a while ago. The EU is arguably more democratic than the UK, and certainly it's very hard to show it's less so. https://medium.com/im-trying-to-fact-check-brexit/fact-check...

I wrote a lengthy article on this when James Dyson made the same arguments. In short, I'm very unconvinced. In negotiation, the person who cares less wins. Individual EU countries - who would have to vote on any deal - care a lot less

I recently decided not to sell several expensive bits of electronics on eBay because multiple people warned me about this sort of fraud. Real pity because it's hard to know where to sell that sort of thing these days.

Do you have data for that? It's a statement that sounds like it makes sense, but so do a lot of statements in this sort of discussion. (I'm not disagreeing. Intuitively I'd tend to agree with you that those things would have

Not entirely sure about the "shows you have the time" part. It doesn't take that long to write a blog post, particularly not a blog post about something you clearly think about a lot and feel passionate about. I'm not co
