I'm not surprised. K shaped economy, any sector that isn't high tech / AI is stagnant. It's rough out there. I've been saying since Covid, retailers have figured out some consumers aren't as price sensitive as

I don't know what it is about Chicago, but I find I have an insatiable curiosity about everything. I've never thought much about bridges, but when I'm in the loop I just stare at them sometimes. I love the architecture, the p

yea I'd +1 this. It's a real blindspot in the author's writing. I don't think you can write about meditation in the US without mentioning IMS. Headspace and all the other mcmindfulness apps that start with "focus on

Maybe I'm overstepping, but I think 1. you're right 2. that it's driven by insecurity. I've experienced many instances of people trying to "protect their knowledge" so to speak by hiding behind jargon.

I was a refugee of the Great Digg Migration to reddit some 14 or so years ago. old.reddit and adblockers as well as very aggressive curation of subreddits have kept it to an overall positive experience over the decade. I think overall I&#x2

This is why I'm not a consultant. It's a generalization, but there's a kind of learned helplessness almost in the culture of the big4. Client has a new requirement, and someone says "oh guess it'll be an allnighter,

Man I miss Buganizer... Even in 2017 Google was starting to smell like Accenture and Oracle. Glad i left before Jira was shoved down my throat.

No, I'd agree with this. Your AEs / clients always want it done as fast and cheap as possible. I enjoy the variety of problems and clients, and honestly sometimes find working with our SWEs a bit pedantic. I have a Get Shit Done a
