    Good essay! Shame he doesn’t talk about taboo. Taboo subjects could make for great essays but it takes a lot of guts to write about them. Anything from collapse of your life, work,…

    A blameless culture needs to take into account bad actors. You might add more processes for part sovereignty for example. This is what you rely on for safety. In addition yeah also…

    Yeah the Brit drinking culture is quite insane. Aussie has a bit of that but it is much less. I used to drink a lot more, but now I find it hard to stand. No buzz just the stupific…

    Effective defence would allow the guilty to go free. (although “guilty” is a jury verdict so that is impossible but I presume you mean would be found guilty had more evidence preva…

    Not indignity but inconvenience. It would be like a boss lying to a software engineer about the requirements as they are scared it will cost too much then the wrong thing is built.…

    I did the same switch. Then went to the Chrome extension YARC https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/yet-another-rest-c... which I like for the simplicity. It does remember past…

    Those are a thing but probably not as bad. You may gain seniority. The second is unavoidable. The last can be dealt with and there are levels of ethics around that.

    The folly is the same as the rock star amplifier that “goes to 11” or how gig economy reviews are 5 star = acceptable or better, anything else means dreadful.’It is just a linear t…
