The opponent is software complexity. The task is iterate design, to create a simple solution. Money will be made or lost depending on whether the solution is both simple and useful enough. Scrum, management, meetings distract at best, cru

In my experience, writing things down brings additional insight, more than an accident. When I first heard Leslie Lamport say “If you think without writing, you only think you’re thinking.”, I thought it was a bit much, but now I suspect he

"I have to constantly hear my father shout what an idiot I am for quitting a high-paying job." I think you should go somewhere else away from your father, whatever happens. You tried something and it didn't work. There's no reverse gear o
