Britain isn’t really poor as a country if we look at all the money/wealth in it. The distribution of the wealth is very one sided though. Recent decades of law making favouring the top few percent. Giving more to the wealthiest few doe

Log the things that require a human to fix something every time they happen (Include useful info that’s needed for fixing). Create metrics of the rest: things that show patterns. Trace a percentile of actions that span over multiple compone

I agree to me it seems like they're admitting that the ship is sinking. The CEO is over 60yo, unlikely to take on another gig after this. The simplest explanation is often the correct one, she's lost her way and needs a nice cushi

Congratulations! Just got my hands on it recently so can't give too valuable feedback just yet. The contents promise to be a real good help with bootstrapping and scaling a product or an engineering project. A very broad spectrum of to
