Call me naive, but honestly never made the connection between swiss cheese and Switzerland.

I’ve heard “we’re not there today, but it doesn’t seem that far off” since the beginning of the AI infatuation. What if, it is far off?

If you’re vacuuming, shouldn’t you be responsible for what you’re vacuuming?

I've found myself finding more satisfaction and joy out of doing fewer things, but going deeper. Instead of picking up a new sport, I've gone deeper into running. Instead of learni…

Are you American, by chance? I am, and this resonates with something a Japanese woman recently told me. I asked her what she thought some of the negative traits of Americans are, a…

How do you "read" an article like this? I would need to pull out some paper, run calculations, etc. to understand this (but perhaps I'm not the intended audience, as a non-mathemat…

Ah, I like where you're coming from. Thanks for the link; I'm definitely interested in exploring these topics further. Is there a name for this field of study? Perhaps just the soc…

I think religion is actually an evolved mechanism for perpetuating (human) life. I developed this theory when my wife and I visited some friends in rural Kansas. We attended their …

Any resources/recommendations for truly learning SQL? I feel pretty comfortable with the basics, but could certainly stand to improve my SQL toolkit!

I appreciate your centrist views! I think the loss of nuance to our political discussions is a disaster ...and I only see it getting worse. I believe there are good ideas on both s…

Ah. I really enjoyed that.

Makes me question my own habits: compulsive checking of email/Slack has really become the norm. On the one hand, as a manager, I want to be available to my team if they have any qu…

Could you provide any further advice on how to hire sales professionals? I'm starting to feel comfortable hiring tech roles, but hiring for sales still feels like a black box!

Well, you sort of described the position I'm in :) Given that, do you have any recommendations for developing channels of customers? I haven't really hired for marketing before - w…
