Talking about complying with things your parents said, but actually being annoyed by. There is a saying where I live that wind is when the sheep don’t have curly hair anymore. And rain when the fish are swimming on your eye level. In all se

That is what I tend to do as well. Heard it being called AHA programming. Avoid hasty abstractions.

It’s a developed skill. When I was freelancing, I was at times pretty pressed to get that project or take on this client. I forced myself to never beg, always be willing to walk away, accept that I might not get the gig and generally try to

In the last months I identified a pattern in my media consumption. When there is a huge new issue (Covid, War on Ukraine, Fukushima…) I turn on the news. And yes, various big international reputable sources (NY Times, Wash Post, BBC, Reuter

Obsidian works with what is called a vault, i.e. a project folder. You can then search for text across all the notes in a vault. No need to remember the date. In addition to that, you can work with hash tags inside the notes and then filter

I found that the sweet spot is somewhere in between these two extremes. After a week of working from home, sometimes I found that I hadn’t left the house for anything other than groceries. In the mornings, I get up and get the kids ready. T

The place I am working at has an online booking system for all the desks available the entire office building (~14 floors) and while there are no private one person rooms, the offices are 4-8 seats and there is enough vacancies to find a qu

As a high volume podcast consumer, I find it interesting that US casts are pretty much all following a completely ad based model, while German ones are much more subscription/donation based. And yes, paying for good journalism is inevi

Wouldn’t that also work the other way around? Move to a JS backend and now every dev on the team can write client and server side code?

we used to call ‘parking lot’ as in ‘Let’s take this outside’. Then when the standup ended, those that wanted to get in on the topics on the parking lot would stick around. And for every minute you ran late, you had to do a push up.

All TikToks should have a tl;dr, so I don’t have to waste my time watching those long-ass clips. Beeper messages are where it’s at. If you can’t fit the intel on those two lines of screen, I can’t be bothered.

To be fair, there was a good amount of soulless, cheap animation back in the 80s and 90s too. Human creativity is still fine and kicking, it’s just that the curator/gatekeeper were removed, so parents are left on their own to select sh

What I found with my kids was that the sequence is more important than the time. Their bedtime routine has been pretty much the same for the last ten years, only the timing has changed.

Need to make up for it though. Run 20K one day, get to take the next day off.

Oh, thanks for the recommendation on Equilibrium. Somehow that one went under my radar until now. Will check it out next Movie night.

I would like to add to that, that this is not true for the country side. At least in Germany. Public transport is pretty much non existent there, e.g. (anecdotal) a part of my family lives in a village with ~4000 inhabitants. To get to the
