You nailed my emotional response completely as a satisficer. Any advice on reading with a neutral eye? As a satisficer I dread the convos with my maximizer friends who seem to impl…

Self-explanatory, I’m interested in seeing how others work :)

I searched but couldn't find something similar. I was debugging an issue today and had to write a short script to get the list of affected entities. I came from a C++/C# background…

Hi y’all, my girlfriend’s starting a coding bootcamp and asked me for media (books, podcasts, articles, movies) I found inspiring/useful for working in tech (preference non-technic…
