If you want to make the most of your reading time, some sparse journaling is very helpful. I started journaling with logseq two years ago. I started by pasting in an HN link, marking it with the #interesting tag, then writing down a few sur

I have not laughed this hard in ages. I am in love with this author.

Agreed on Clean Code. I remember nothing practical from that book. Its principal value is that it looks nice on my shelf. Watching Bob Martin's talks, he just likes ranting about computers and doesn't give actionable advice. Howev

There's also something to be said for women that read a lot of romance novels or fanfics and have warped "love maps". Probably not a big % of the population, but it changes the psychological waters of relationships with them.

I agree that his descriptions are less "principles" and more like "heuristics". The overall message of the book, as the referenced reviewer points out, is "do what's sensible." As someone so young, what is

Could you expand on your other criticisms of the book? How does it conflict with your experience? I'm still learning.

Isn't the tragedy of the commons how developing technology consumes our attention spans? Human attention span is a finite resource (we can only do so much in one life), and tech startups can consume a lot of that for relatively little

How have you developed a sense for organizational friction? What observations of culture can I use to make an educated guess about how easy it is to do my work? I agree with your point that a large org does not guarantee what the author cla

Ray Dalio talks about this in his book "Principles." The specific advice he offers is "hire slowly, fire quickly."

I have an unfortunate story of my father's hoarding. About a decade ago, my childhood home got raided by the DEA because my brother allegedly ordered precursors on the darkweb. My father consented to a full search. DEA agents opened up

Wholeheartedly agree. One underlining here is it's easy to fake experience in an individual domain ("yeah, I know python. I read like 2 books.") but you can't fake experience in multiple, pointed domains ("yeah, I u

The logical analogue here is writing blog posts. It forces you to crystallize your knowledge in a way you thought you understood but didn't.

Something I've really enjoyed about software dev is it really is a super power to your users. Just hearing "Wow I didn't know I needed this" is very satisfying.

If a billionaire did this, people would see it as eccentric but not an addiction. Cause you know, he's a billionaire already. Just let him do it. If your stepsis is in dire financial straits or neglecting responsibilities, that's

It's worth noting that women experience sexuality differently. You can see it clearly in romance novels. Women don't read smut for the sex scenes, they read it for the sexual tension and character development. Male sexuality is im

I was once skeptical of the usefulness of personality tests, but reading Principles by Ray Dalio convinced me they can be used to build well-oiled organizations.

I don't think your comment was wrong to express. We've spent a lot of time cataloging human behavior over the last 100 years, so it's natural to be curious how the definitions relate to Musk's behavior. I think the paren

By the same token, the users of XXX dot com will probably still refer to their posts as tweets. Though as OP points out, "tweet" isn't genericized like kleenex or google, so it is less likely to survive the sudden brand shift

Pragmatic, but a marketing move like that has far-reaching consequences -- both in their relationships with social media companies and the normies that look up mastodon and associate it with "hackers."

Also worth considering that the big companies with mission critical systems on abandonware would certainly "lobby" to orgs like Microsoft to keep them from having to dust the cobwebs (whatever that looks like).

Do you remember where he wrote about that? Sounds like something in Antifragile, but let's be honest, any one of his books is better called a corpus.
