I didn’t know this! I was using the US style. Thanks for the clarification

This could just as well be a ln edgy millennial owned restaurant.

“This isn’t your grandpa’s Caesar salad. This is SEIZURE salad.”

Honestly this caught me off guard because they interim check-ins were good. I wasn’t expecting this conclusion. Otherwise i would!

Three months notice over here lol

Also depending on where you are, it might be moot. Eg. In Germany they can’t say no unless they have business reason.

Yes! I had an engineering management role in a smallish company, which means that I still had a lot of hands on responsibilities, so not sure how things apply to your role. But a lot looked like this:

• we set out what we expected would be achieved in six months (major projects or milestones) <- we ran a roadmap that got fuzzy with time so this was more a vibe check than commitments
• we defined what would be signs that it wasn’t working. Eg. Projects stalling, teams confused about direction, feedback from the team, lowering of certain metrics.
• we set up checks every two months that included feedback from direct reports and one over.
• I picked Wednesday. we set out how the calendar was going to change, how handover was going to work for those days and what mechanisms existed to avoid blocking.

It went great! Especially as a manager knowing you’re not always there helps drive decision making delegation, self directedness, etc.

In this team I wasn’t the only one that tried it, and we didn’t synchronize days. It had no issue

This happened to me.

I requested four days and laid out a plan on what “success” looked like. We tried it. After six months my boss and I agreed all my metrics had improved, so he put me back in five days because “imagine how productive you’ll be now”, so I quit a couple of months after.

As a manager. This is an illusion. The bottleneck isn’t in writing the code. In fact, what I see over and over is overproduction leads to bottlenecks in the review queues and a complete breakdown in intentionality, planning, collaboration.

You get pressure to do because it’s easy on the surface to show output, but creating a good product is a systems problem that requires coordination and thought.

We’re seeing multiplication in output, not outcome.

If it’s so good, where are all these killer apps? It’s been years!

Also, according to the boosters, if it gets as good as they insist it’s going to get, we wouldn’t even need to learn how to use it!

At that point I’d be more concerned about the collapse of the economy than my specific job. Why buy any service when the replicator does it

I’m going to tell my kids the first one is Mac demarco

I experienced this feeling during new years in shibuya. It’s scary af, you can no longer move, you’re part of a human liquid. Never again

I’m having a (good) moment with qt atm (excluding kirigami), so that’s a relevant thing to point out!

I missed this! What’s the tool folks are using instead of lutris?

the bible foot massage story really is one of the funniest bits in there.

his friend / treasurer of his brand account sees him getting a foot massage from Mary Maggie with all the fancy oils and says “ay Jesus, we could feed a bunch of poor people with the cost of this”. Jesus exhales and says “you’ll always have the poor, I’ll only be here for a bit, let me enjoy this”

guy loved a foot massage

It is! If you want to reduce exposure to this you really have to make sure mdm disallows installing it. The numbers trigger regardless of seats, and then you’re on the hook for the licenses for every employee using it.

So even if as a matter of policy you don’t use docker desktop, it’s possible engineers still do.

At work, avoiding surprise licensing fees. If you ever have over 250 employees or over 10 million revenue, you owe a subscription.

At the home, easy orchestration with systemd

This is still one of the best movie moments. And the image I send people on airdrop if they happen to have it on publicly

I mean, you can see it if you want, there’s MPL code and nightly builds. It’s the best shot at ending the browser monoculture and it’s progressing steadily!
