It's not options either (that would be ESOPs), but actually a kind of bonus structure. If there is an exit event, as specified in the VSOP agreement, you get a bonus that should be the same as what real options would have been worth. T

I have never worked as a pure PM, but I have worked with several. I would say that the most important thing is to build trust with your team and to be ready to adapt to the existing process. From there on you can start introducing small cha

I kind of agree, but I would also argue that of those who treat coding as a craft many are in danger as well. Code in the end is just a tool. Deep understanding won't be replaced any time soon, but I have worked with software artisans

Really cool, but as a foreigner in Germany it also saddens me that there is a need for so many apps and softwares to deal with bureaucracy.

I didn't do it last year, but the years before I used Racket and Common Lisp. I might try Common Lisp again since I really want to rediscover the experience of programming w/ Sly (a fork of SLIME). I'm also considering trying

And here you're assuming that making software engineers more productive would be a service to the world. I think the jury is out on that one as well. At least for the majority of software engineering since 2010.

Interesting analogy with the car. I also remember a similar discussion about mathematics. You can easily brute-force a bunch of theorems starting from some axioms and logic, but without any sense-making or context they are effectively meani

Is it? It looks more like an interesting discussion about tools and what a good tool should do. One point of view is that a good tool should augment you in a process, something generative tools don't do.

I really enjoyed The Fat Tail by Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat, which is about political risk and how to mitigate or manage it. Think revolutions, regulatory changes, elections etc. and how they affect markets. Another gem I found was the bo

Is it free though? I'm a fan of rebase myself, but understand the point made above. For me, the biggest pro of a clean history is when doing `git blame`. If the history is clean and the commits are good, it might solve my issue. On the

By "a couple of rich guys" are you referring to the fact that roughly 90% of all power production capacity is owned by the public via municipalities, regions and the state? ( https://energifaktanorge.no/en/om-e

Aren't you saying the same thing? If externalities were priced appropriately, then storage probably would be a good investment.

There are definitely interesting times ahead. What surprised me with ChatGPT is the impact of the interface. The quality of the responses are essential up to some threshold, but the chat interface arguably had an even bigger impact. I also

My optimistic take is that more time will be spent thinking about specification and validation. I also hope that code synthesis tools and verification becomes more common to use.
