Note sure this is a strong counter argument. It not that surprising that a system optimised in a certain direction has trouble accommodating operating modes it hasn’t optimised for…

> you pay them interest directly or indirectly through everything you pay for I wonder how feasible that would be to track as an economic index. Even on individual level its popula…

FWIW it was a genuine question. I’ve only seen charts where the exponential trend remains, or even accelerates.

Try handing them a copy of “10X Org” (the authors tries to abstract over team topologies, adding some additional design dimensions)

I do wonder though, how does metric based factoring compare to expert intuition based factoring? Can the latter be emulated by agents? Are there studies?

Has it been tried? I mean, it is a common moderation goal, in physical meetings, to make sure the silent ones gets heard. Could be interesting to try a social network approach om t…

A better analogy would perhaps be to consider the land the farm uses as the commons (it was before becoming private property) We can debate the just access to land (commons) and po…

You can substitute Robin Williams with Peter Naur, and the speech with his “Programming as Theory Building” essay, and that is more or less what you’ll get

A lot of NVC writing is pretty bad. I recommend going directly to the source https://youtu.be/l7TONauJGfc (3h video, but worth the time) I think NVC is better understood as a frame…

Not sure this equation works out. If demand for labor goes towards zero it really means there is no demand. In other words, when AI and robots fulfil every desire of their owners t…

This exchange reminds me a bit of the experience of becoming a parent. The permanent reconfiguration of priorities from the intense oxytocin high is also quite impossible to explai…
