I remember reading in Poor Economics by Duflo and Banerjee that poor people having a TV is not uncommon at all. They take the example of a Moroccan family in a rural area. They explain that because that's the only thing there is to do,

It happens to me as well. I sometimes think : 'oh I already did this. That was very well thought'. Unfortunately I can't share this feeling with me 6 months ago. The times when the code is painful to read is when I write scri

You probably don't know much about Economics and have a very distorted view on what it is. You should definitely try reading something like the Undercover Economist by Tim Harford which is a pleasant read and a good introduction to the

Also I have literally never met anyone in my life telling me 'I have ADHD'. However on the internet it seems that everyone has it. My pet theory is that it is a very American thing, not that people feel more free to talk about it

Just FYI talking about Kanban board is a bit like talking about IT technologies (where the T stands for technology). I can't remember the word for it. In Japanese Kanban means : signboard; sign; billboard; hoarding; doorplate

This is indeed a good test. I realized how bad Youtube UX is when I was using it to find children's song with my baby in my strong (right) arm. That's when I realized how much swiping, scrolling and tapping you need to do when you

I find that the only 'drawback' is that it is not sexy. When people have talks about what they are going to buy or how much they have made buying and selling bitcoins last week you can't really take part of the conversation.
