Why would it?

I agree somewhat at the collective level. I don’t think that applies as much at the individual level though.

by tilne 1y ago
Do you believe our species is capable of that in the collective sense? Isn’t “might makes right” basically the law for all animals? And if you agree with that, doesn’t it follow that to “rise morally above” that would require somehow transc

If you do find someone I’d love to hear more as well.

I agree with you. I think OP’s point becomes more valid if you limit the discussion to tools used while developing/maintaining software, as opposed to tools used by a wider audience. I don’t fully believe that either, but I see where t

So should we as “real humans” also set up our own lobbying channels in Washington? Or are there some problems that make that somewhat unfeasible for us “real humans”?

It is absolutely a self-help book.

When did I say it didn’t go way beyond business communication? That’s largely my point: this is a basic human skill in the modern world that I would think existing for 20-30 years would give you plenty of experience in navigating stories to

Sure but that’s a matter of testing assumptions and updating them per new info.

This sounds like snark but it’s not intended to be: do you really need sources to learn narrative control? Perceiving how narratives work seems to be a skill that almost all humans are very good at naturally. I acknowledge that shaping narr

Thank you for this. I didn’t know curlconverter existed.

It’s a public-facing IT system owned by some government agency in the United States. “Sometimes” is an understatement. (Though maybe this is a failure on my part to update my priors. I’ve noticed that recently some of the systems that led m

It does sound like sour grapes but I also don’t think you need data to believe this.

But who will explain to the young people that perhaps it is their Dad that is maladjusted or even insane? That their Dad is operating under a very silly pretense that children will be just as able and willing to politely accept social queue

I very much agree. I would consider myself to be more asocial than average, though certainly not aggressively so. The types of sentiments expressed in this article are usually written by very social people who see conversation as some inher

Absolutely agreed with the second point. I’m not sure I agree with the first though. At least not that that’s the main reason telemetry is desired from product teams. (Though obviously telemetry does provide fodder for that type of stupidit

by tilne 3y ago
That’s fair. If the telemetry really is helpful to building a better product it should be an easy case to make to users.
51.
by tilne 3y ago
I don’t mean to dismiss the importance of users owning and controlling their data, but isn’t telemetry a valid tool for software projects to gain valuable insights into how their product is being used and thus how to improve it? Yes, it can

Why? I think chat is a terrible way to organize this information. I don’t understand why people so readily accept working in that medium. It is all for the sake of people who don’t care enough to find the proper channels, or worse yet set t

Unless you wanted to pursue a career related to the physical sciences, what is the benefit of taking labs? I ask this as someone that took a large number of physics and especially chemistry labs before ultimately switching to computer scien

How many people would you need for such an elaborate, multi-step heist? Especially wondering because, given your reputation, I’m assuming you would need a to be more of a puppet master than an active participant.

Just curious: what are you looking for? I tend to assume that staff-level ICs have a pretty good setup as far as established expertise and freedom to choose what they work on (though that varies a lot). What tangible benefits other than hig

But you can’t have the technical foundation later because you’ve already built on something else.

What are the unique, useful features you’re thinking of from safari? (This sounds like a sarcastic, leading question, but it’s genuine. I don’t know this space well at all.)

Aren’t you in all of those? The further you keep the user away from training and hosting, the less you’re in those businesses. But I would think it’s only economical to do that if you have some type of advantage in implementing the things y

I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but I disagree that Robins is to blame. If the system enables this kind of behavior, there will always be someone willing to take advantage. If not Robins, then the next shameless profiteer.
