Makes a lot of sense and I don't disagree. They're definitely not a return to the web and I probably misrepresented them that way in my post. I was mostly using them as examples of…

At some point you have to stop exploring and actually consume what you've collected. I think that's one psychological trick of infinite scroll feeds... our minds naturally want to …

The YouTube channel Technology Connections recently made a video [1] about this and used the term "Algorithmic Complacency" to encompass how many people would rather be fed content…

Exactly. Also, this _world_ is about money, dude.

I agree with this. The titles of Staff and Principal, generally, include some responsibility for teaching others (writing articles is one of many good methods for this) and helping…

How do you get new contacts that you can pitch in a single email? Is it organic newsletter signups or something else?

I agree with this and similar posts suggesting they find local non-profits. There's probably no perfect answer to what's most "efficient" and I think that's probably the wrong way …

Good answer. I'll add that as a middle manager, it's your job to take a large umbrella strategy and break it down into actionable terms for your team. I think this is the root of t…

I think this form of imposter syndrome is fairly common. I feel the same way, quite often. I no longer feel like I don't belong because I'm not smart or skilled enough, but that I'…

The capitalist machines do indeed grind up most attempts at simply helping humanity; I don't think that's unique to tech. So I doubt you'll find solace by simply quitting tech enti…

Yet another reminder to always negotiate.

That's probably part of it, but I think the root is that a college campus is designed for people to use it without cars. Food, stores, classrooms, places to sit and meet are all bu…

Some of the best advice I've ever heard regarding this is that you don't have to be an expert, you just have to know a little bit more than someone else. So take whatever you've re…

I personally don't move anything into git until it's close to ready. WIP writing is kept on Bear (Markdown editor). But there are tons of other apps, including ones that sync to a …

I have a similar setup for my blog and I'm using Netlify for both CI and hosting (free). It's been great! GitHub Actions could probably work well for you if you already have decent…

Congrats on the launch/relaunch! The site looks great! One thing I would like as a job-seeker is a way to sort/filter by full time jobs where everyone works 4 day weeks vs. hourly …

One point that I disagree with is "Every question asked in an internal Slack is a policy failure. It means the existing information systems failed to deliver an answer, and the use…

Thank's for sharing! I hadn't heard of him until now. Love the suggestions for how to have better meetings especially.

Pretty good analysis, but I don't know if I agree with some of the final lines. Hard to see this as a "Molotov cocktail through the front window of the country and the global finan…

OP here; I gained ~30 points on my PageSpeed score by switching my blog from WordPress to Gatsby.js + Netlify. Really happy I finally did the conversion. It was easier than I thoug…

Along with the unionization at Google, I think it's a good trend to see them happening at big tech companies. As it says in the article: "Unions are a prominent presence at Amazon …

Awesome! Glad it has worked out for you. I still feel like I might go back into management someday, but it will need to be an ideal situation.
