> 4. Major new environmentally-friendly method of goods transportation discovered which is effectively a drop-in replacement for global shipping.

Fusion powered teleportation?

Most managers I've known would love to have someone to "believe and trust" to delegate stuff to.

I feel like the micromanaging managers simply don't have enough work to do? I personally celebrate everytime I find a developer who can manage themselves, their work, and if they can also manage the team (at least partly) that's amazing!

I believe all those people multitasking while listening to the book are not actually paying as much attention as you'd think. Like watching low quality tv used to be popular.

Except it's a shame because these books are not low quality. For me it's unimaginable that I could do anything else while reading. It puts my brain and imagination to work at 110%, and I love it.

One of the sibling comments is mentioning replacing radio with listening to an audiobook. Radio!!!! I'm pretty sure the reading experience is wildly different.

Chat has not been around since the 90s, not in the form that is used today.

I took off my glasses and got barely any change. Most probably GP's glasses are very very ugly.

Funnily enough, but also not surprising, it's the same for drummers and their preferred type of sticks.

Well, why are those companies pivoting so often in the first place? Isn't the root cause probably in GP's list?

It's a strong value in most of the protestant west.

If you start hurting your peers' feelings often enough you'll find out your ability to get shit done gets severely hampered.

The person you were arguing with is saying that it's a compelling reason to not use the model because, I quote, the conclusions of the model are "batshit insane".

Just as an anecdote, I'm forced to use macOS but I wish I could use Windows. edit: with wsl of course

I do not have in-depth experience using Microsoft Word or LaTeX for writing papers. Nevertheless I found this funny:

> LaTeX has literally none of these problems. Sure, it has a lot of other problems, but none of these ones

> Office is one of those areas where the Microsoft strangehold is strongest. And it's objectively a bad experience!

The rest of your comment does not logically conclude to "it's objectively a bad experience", although that might seem obvious to someone who has used both in-depth.

I think the line of "choice" here gets blurred, which is exactly what disorder refers to in the usual context.

Did the chicken come first or the egg?

> What am I suppose to do? Debug it ? I don't event know where to start from.

This is the problem. Know that it's mostly a psychological thing. Start by reading the code of the feature you're trying to use. Go through it with a debugger. Yes, the first time it will be hard and take a long time but you will get used to it.

To the manager just say "it's gonna take a little longer than estimated, there's a bug we didn't expect in the library". Eventually, you will deal with these issues so fast it won't even be worth mentioning.

Do you think this could have anything to do with how the education system has become fairly politicized?

Adults not trusting schools is probably related to the belief that the school system is incompetent anyway. Having the "wrong" politics definitely makes it easy to consider an administration incompetent.

At the highest competitive level the psychology of the player takes a major role in his performance.

This is a common response, but people are usually fairly comfortable with trains and busses.

Who said anything about btc?!

Especially wages. At least for the industries where workers are in a position to demand.

A tech job that offer in local currency gets laughed out of the room around here.

How do I run that on my phone?

StS is one of the main games that started the rogue-like trend of the last 2-3 years.

Another staple of the genre is Hades.

Usually the answer is that it's not actually the same task.

Which is probably an intended part of the analogy.

On the other hand in these orgs you have people crying "iceberg!" all the time.

Probably some tabs vs spaces issue.

What does competently actually mean though?

Quite cool to see my conclusions on viewing organizations as distributed systems echoed by other people, and, in particular, explained in such beautiful form.

Definitely recommend reading parent's quoted article.

Agreed with every word of your comment but

> your brain doesn't wear out from thinking the way your back wears out from carrying boxes.

this is not obvious at all.

I'd assume some of these massive energy-hungry mining facilities would be fairly hard to hide.

Honestly, I am amazed that there are people that don't do this.

I am often wondering how different the world looks through the eyes of someone else, and it's very hard for me to imagine how people can "go through the motions" without understanding in situations like you described.

Personally, I could never remember a fact or a word without understanding the concept behind it or its significance.
