Anecdotes are crucial for they are the bed of experience. Don't belittle someone like you did, you just make yourself the fool. I'm sorry you've met poor middle managers bit really you didn't get your point across. Like,

This is unbelievably condescending. I'll follow up on your false analogy to try to get you to your mistake: even Monet had to learn before he became Monet! Even Monet had to fight before he became Monet. He even got rejected and create

All of these comments are more true than the article itself, but I find one thing missing: Twitter threads drive a certain style of writing. You write punch-lines of 280 characters because of the platform's constraints, while you'

On a similar vein, I thought of formatters analyzing classes, variables and args names to make improvement suggestions. Aka, linting/formattimg for the naming conventions.

If I know the time and see the sun or shadows, I approximate the direction by estimating the course of the sun. It always works significantly well, meaning I never need it on critical situations and the margin of error is bearable. But I&#x

Can you name a few, please? I am very reluctant to fitness apps and devices for that exact reason and I'd really like to see a privacy friendly app. Bonus points if you know devices that can be used with local data only.

Thank you for the examples of necessity over examples of preference.

Absolutely. But would you be surprised of such a decision? Heres a proposal: As organizations grow, the size of a solution becomes imcreasingly proportional to the size of the organization rather than to the size of the problem.

Didn't say it was a walled garden. But management has its own ways and quirks I said it was possible that the situation was seen by mgmt as a walled garden. Seen as.

It is also possible that this project and you being the only one handling it were analyzed as a risk. It doesn't justify how the handover/rewrite happened, but why it did is somewhat understandable, if not plain reasonable. Typica

Just as you, I certainly don't relate productivity and editor config. My co fig now is really simple: I rely on other's work: I find powerline-10k + LunarVim to make for a more than good enough terminal environment.

Whether you call it over-engineering or procrastination, customizing an editor is a delicious waste of time.

Many reasons: * in logseq, everything is a list. In Obsidian, prose is first class citizen as well * The plugin API is simple and discovery of plugins is super well inregrated * I don't like Obsidian's business model either but it

My wife, our kids, and I live abroad from our families. Kids and grandparents get to see each other once a year or so. Yet, we do not plan to move back closer to our families. The reason is simple: our relation to our parents is fulfilling

Fair enough. But your point requires discussing nonetheless. You seem to suggest that fontsize should adapt to width to fill the space (seemingly to a billboard, as per your example). If the billboard technique was used on the web, I guess

I love the socket/plug analogy. It's even better than it looks in Europe: there are actuality 3 contact points but only 2 are salient which allows for 2 easily pluggable positions (rotate 180deg). The ground is positioned twice fo

I've heard that as well, but that leaves me uncertain. A good manager can only do so much. When the company despises its workers or is reluctant to expenses or hirings or reorg or... I'd prefer to say "people join companies,
