    I had never seen that cartoon about the "dream job" before, but it's something I've thought about so many times as I've listened to people talk about their dream job or dream emplo…

    Brian Kernighan is the type of nerd that you dream of working with AND having a casual drink with. I wish I had some friends like this (I don't actually know Brian, but have read/l…

    Surely many companies have no idea how to accurately measure "productivity", or simply have no good way to even go about it. If net income is increasing then stop whining about peo…

    I definitely feel like I'm at a point of no return (to gas engines) after driving a Tesla for a couple of years. I drove a nice gas powered car the other week and the experience wa…

    I love my model 3, but I'm glad I leased it. The electric motor is awesome, it's a blast to drive, charging is inexpensive and convenient. But the build quality is undeniably poor …
