Just stumbled on this brutal gutpunch of a video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSq6... I've trained The Algorithm to show me stuff like this— randos working on projects and showing them to you? I've never seen this channel but I've seen a dozen like it. Dude fixes radios. The video is not about radios.

What a great post clearly showing the value of middle management! My favourite quote from the book it’s based on is a powerful analogy: “Good management is the lifeblood of the healthy corporate body. Getting rid of it to save cost is like losing weight by giving blood.”

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s crazy what’s going on in the Garmin sportwatch world: they updated an essential file that gets downloaded to devices at every sync (not sw update, just a simple activity or similar sync!) and throws the device into a reboot loop, rendering it unusable. 🧵

Based on what I saw, I love Linear. However, if you want your teams to go faster, make sure you understand first what’s holding them back now. There’s a good chance it’s not (just) the tool they use. And they probably know it already, and would tell happily if someone asked them.

Seeing all the political news coming from the US today (wrt the attack on trans & nonbinary people), my mind flashed to the image of one of the promotional posters for Princess Mononoke that I saw as a child back in 1997 with the copy 「生きろ。」 ("Live."). (The copy is written as an imperative.)
One of the promotional poster from the original Japanese theatrical release of Princess Mononoke (1997). It depicts a scene where San with her blood-drenched mouth standing in front of Moro no Kimi, a large white mountain wolf.

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

Perplexity is reportedly trying to merge with the app that’s preemptively self-sabotaging with a Trump promo, in the hopes to reappear later this week like some weird orange-feathered phoenix. Yet another twist in this increasingly hard-to-follow timeline.

It's almost ironic that git by definition is a *distributed* version control system, yet an outage like this stops an entire engineering organization. I understand that PRs, CI/CD, every tool is down too, but at least having a local mirror (self-hosted Gitlab?) would allow you to continue working.
