  • Yeah. I lived in America for 6 years; and when I left, it was primarily because of the tangible risk of getting in a minor car accident and being financially ruined.

    Even so, I quickly forget about the undercurrent of fear and avoidance I had with doctors or clinics of any kind.

    So we’d rather take abdominal pain so bad it keeps you from functioning, because the alternative could be an expensive nothing-burger.
















  • I worked at a company run by a SWEngineer.

    He was code-smart for code, but really bad for business.

    You need to get a real CEO who does management, but keep that person in firm check by mandating half the board be stacked by engineers. Even as advisory roles, like if your company makes widgets you should have some Serious Fucking widget people dominating the board for big decisions.

    “You make one thing” is like “you had one job.”

    (And if you make two things so disparate, spin one off into a sub)



  • There is – jabber and jingle. And for a ver-ry brief few weeks, Google’s jabber/jingle worked openly with Facebook’s, and everyone could message each other. And then BOTH arbitrarily broke it with some sparkle-junkie resume-bait software 'up’grade and neither worked with anything else after that.

    It was glorious.
