I think the issue is that they can show that it's happening with data. And only after that, can solutions be suggested.

And the solutions would be systematic ones (changing trading laws).

Sounds like a project manager. Step 1) Prepare for project. 1-2 weeks. Step 2) Do programming 3-4 weeks. Step 3) Unit tests and QA 2 weeks.

Looks like a “100% human experience” weeds out parents with young children.

Artists are very cringy. A lot of musicians are cringy. Some teachers are cringy. Not sure about chefs or dog walkers.

You ask for evidence, then follow up with "I heard from people..."?

"When you strike at a queen, you must kill her."

I hate this repackaging of content that just pads with filler pretending to be an article. The mentalfloss article I mean.

Agile always seemed like a cargo cult.

When you don't understand how or why something works, this is how you go about it. Let's make airplane-shaped things out of coconuts.

As long as it's quiet and expandable and less expensive than the laptops, I don't care what the desktop looks like.

So far he's right. It doesn't work now. It works better than the blue/red glasses, but that's not saying much.

As for the "inability to solve this technological problem", that could be true. I don't think we can solve all technical problems. The opposite is saying we can solve all technical problems.

I think the open office started with Chiat/Day (ad/design firm). It was back when laptops were first introduced and it was seen as a cool way to work. People would get to be mobile, sit anywhere they want, etc.

We have open offices because we need to be close. We have remote workers because we don't need them close.

I have the same experience. When I was younger I was puzzled when my friends mom (richer family) was so nice. Cooked large breakfast for us when I stayed over, etc. And his friends were nice. And they talked normally to each other and were funny and clever.

Where I came from, the norm was just anger. And the conversation was mostly putting each other down. Or challenging each other. Still trying to overcome that.

Surprised they didn't replace it with Node instead.

For the longest time I took it to be the norm that a manager is mostly there to pressure you to work, to get things done well and on time.

Then I had a manager (he was technical) that actually helped solve issues. He didn't have to touch any code, but he had good suggestions. He knew what he was doing. He felt like he was in it. He was part of the team. He didn't just throw problems at you to solve. He was trying to help solve them himself.

CFO left a year after IPO. Then we had things that seemed like busy work.

More likely he just didn't want to do it.

I wonder if the Mac would have touch if Microsoft didn't have it.

Yep. Bought the washer and dryer and they are nice. Went with the electronic controls though. And also top loading washer to avoid moisture/mold issues if door left closed.

It would be more interesting to know why this stack helped the business.

Otherwise it's just a list that doesn't have much connection to the $1B part in the title.

What are the ramifications if we learn that employee turnover is very cheap?

Questions about tools are usually innocuous. It gives some insight. Experienced devs do it too. Is that team using React? Are you using Go?

Gives you an idea of where people are going. What other tools are available, how easy it will be to get help, etc.

I think no matter how good you are, you need to have people skills. You may be the best there is for this moment in time, but there's always someone better. And besides, you usually need a lot of people to do something sustaining.

I don't understand. No privacy for organizations or no privacy for everyone? And who decides what an organization is? Two people? Three?

Doesn't seem true. Sounds like nerdy trash talk.

One person's greed is another person's "just trying to cover the mortgage".

Physics seeks to find out how things work. Questions might not be answerable but that doesn't put it out of the scope of physics.

The hard problem you pose (positioning atoms... triggering perception of color or pain), what else is that but a physics problem?

It is but don't worry about it. It's getting better by the hour.

Just think about this: Has it ever been easier to reach so many people with so little effort?

Not confined to math, but it's helped me become aware that problems can be solved by reasoning.

Also to be measured in how sure I am about something being right.
