I’m always fascinated by the nuance of biographies. The big events are, of course, interesting, but I often find myself drawn to the more mundane, or unrelated-to-rise-to-fame, aspects that blend into someone’s life story when creating some

I pretty much never see engineering salaries factored into these types of savings projects. I assume because engineers are already viewed as a sunk cost or maybe it’s just because it’s way less tangible. Have seen many designs describe how

I might find this ultra-productivity useful if it was at a business or side-project I owned or ran, where I have a large stake in the outcomes and there’s not enough people to do everything. But, if working for a medium to large-sized comp

I follow this but part of this attitude has always struck me as slightly off. Parents and others deciding what is valuable versus what isn’t. Granted draining full days in Roblox for the average kid is likely a net loss, but I recall simila

We need to invent something that does the opposite now where individuals could wear something that prevents them from showing up in someone else’s content without explicit digital consent (some sort of personal scrambler). I don’t think the

Companies also get tax incentives based how many butts are in seats. So, it’s not just a sunk cost fallacy at play here

Isn’t perfect but this is why I suddenly like voice mail again. I don’t answer any numbers I don’t recognize. If it’s important they will leave a voicemail.

I think the issue is that people sometimes incorrectly assume job titles are standard and used the same across different companies. At some companies titles are more about pay bands. I’ve worked places with a bunch of “senior” engineers, bu

Yeah I don’t really understand this. I would ride bus to and from school. Stay after school for activities and find a ride back with friends or siblings or some other way without my parents needing to get involved. Anecdotal but whenever I

Think about every little tiny mom-pop medical office that either runs their own IT or pays a medical-industry-centered consultancy that usually has an IT branch. I think you’d be surprised to see what is out there and what is being used.

OpenAI/ChatGPT seem to be very creative based on variations it can make on “things” that already exist. I’m just curious if we see AI being truly creative and making something “new”. Perhaps everything is based on something though, and

Incompetent but Nice only seems to work when all managers and team members know it and they are given tasks they can’t mess up. It does affect morale though, as working with a jerk would too.

They auction the search result space, like Google search. I guess for prime members it would be nice to have the option to turn off. I have noticed this happening on lots of websites now, particularly grocery websites.
