Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

I just started reading this. So far I like the graphics & the use of narrative, which includes case studies.

There are some math equations I can't finish putting through the paces until I finish reading the book, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll follow this post w/ my notes as I'm reading /1
Organizations with strong alignment move faster (less coordination overhead), scale better (adding teams doesn't need exponentially more management), and adapt quicker (principle-based alignment is more resilient than process-based). But alignment without automation stays fragile.

In my career I used CVS, SVN, Perforce, git, and worked at a company that was trying to switch to Accurev and gave up because it’s garbage. And I’m not that old 🤣

laughed hard enough about this I had to get out of bed for some water 🤣

I've never been to a rust meetup & don't count eating pizza during a talk as "having lunch together". Lots to work with here could make a decent SNL skit

I should probably go back to sleep
big deal. I've also been to a Rust meetup.

if you have a mentor that's effectively trying to turn you into a clone of themselves maybe give it some space. I try to help folks figure out where they're going & what they're trying to do. I often refer them to someone else's work if I don't think I'm going to be of much assistance.
I still find mentorship but it's more collaborative. There are folks I learn from with an understanding I might take us off their standard trail for a bit. It takes a lot of trust & communication. Sometimes I have to go back & explore by myself on my own time

try not to forget the taste of bread, the sound of trees, or the softness of the wind
not trying to sound cheesy but sometimes you have to remember that the earth is beautiful and full of amazing things to experience and its worth living for those no matter how bad things get

2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world.

That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today.

So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based.

this isn't going to help any sea turtles or moths at all 😕
A US tech bro corp in the US has decided the night sky should go away. They've made that decision for everyone on Earth.

Naturally they've named the first searing orbital array (many times brighter than the moon) after Eärendil, the light bearer, from Tolkien's work
