My grandfather, Dick, was a Korea war veteran who founded a manufacturing company. He was a grizzly, old school guy with a bit of a drinking problem. As the legend goes HAM was the…

Yeah - all of that sounds like a pain. No argument from me. Sometimes, things rot and we have a bigger mess than before. There are many circumstances in which a design system is at…

So have I, and they weren't. So we're no better off where we started. I at least made concessions on my side of the argument, but you are free to dig your heels in.

I hear this take often - particularly on HN - and I think that it is well off base IME. For many small + medium sized companies, sure, this can be true. For a scaled org with 10s o…

Can't believe I'm saying it but twitter has become the main spot for me. Read.cv as others have pointed out is also good. Way less signal and noise than X of course, but the conten…

Yes. Why care about the factual accuracy/level of insight/caliber of the content I put out when the only thing that matters is that it gets seen?

Agree on desktop, not so much on mobile

The cipher is for any email spam crawlers, not hiding my identity. Pretty common practice on this site.

if the author of this has any interest in collaborating with a designer please let me know. Huge fan of this and would be happy to contribute. peter at peter[HNusername].co

Heh, that sounds _exactly_ like my feed as well. There also is a calendar of dogs pooping that I've gotten about a hundred times. Seeking Arrangements also showing me tons of ads d…

>CEO said there'll be no severance or healthcare. Classy. Learning a lot about how certain people treat their employees during these last couple of admittedly insane years. Good fo…

That sounds cool. I'm glad you remember it fondly - not to gripe among the privileged, but I have never worked in a cool office like that. With all of the endlessly discussed disad…

Yes, practical exposure to any industry - particularly ones the teenager has an interest in - is a great thing. I went to what was called a “vocational” high school in the US. In s…

The closest thing I have found is ReelGood. They let you pick all your services and search, browse, etc. Handles cases where multiple providers have the same content pretty gracefu…

Pretty cool. I lived out that way for a bit in the early 2010s (Abrams + Munger). I take it you're from Garland originally, or did you grow up in the city?

Wow, this is a great blast from the past. I grew up on the road where this airport http://www.airfields-freeman.com/MA/Airfields_MA_C.htm#norfo... was. You would walk right out our…

And police force, who are not burdened by the demands / low staffing DPD are.

This is pretty cool. May buy one and will provide feedback if I do.

Yeah, you see a similar phenomenon in the northeastern US. Places like New Bedford and Lowell, Massachusetts were doing much better when whaling and textiles were in their golden y…
