What if they ask proof of your diploma? Providing forged documents (i.e. lie about graduation date) is a serious crime.

I’ve been asked for proof of my graduation exactly one time, and that was when I took a job at bank.

There are usually ways for you as a user to customize these apps and make them less distracting (e.g. "Settings -> Notifications", etc).

Plus that lazy category of people who seek help without even trying can be ignored for a few hours, and when you reply its usually "oh yeah i figured it out"

I agree. But give it some years and we'll get a proper AI "Joe Rogan & Steve Jobs" podcast (although I'm personally more interested in hearing more about Wozniak than Jobs).

I read your blog post. I agree with most of it. But...

I wish I could be as optimistic as you are. We're seeing extreme, unpredictable weather _right now_. This could lead to reduced food production a few years from now.

I worked for two years at Amazon. My managers were not diving deep at all. At least not more than any other average manager in any other average company.

I worked a contract at Amazon. If the managers were doing anything other than lying about timelines, I couldn't see it.

Also the dev stack was horrifyingly opaque. Every time an Amazon recruiter contacts me I have to push down the urge to explain how awful it is to work there and no thank you.

Dive deep is more for engineers. Managers can only go so deep because they must be broad. Yes, I know it says "leadership". I was there for 4 years.

I appreciate the point you’re trying to make, but I disagree with this.

It’s something that has frustrated me, as a manager, when fellow managers said it to me. I feel like it gives permission to managers to detach themselves from the reality of their organization.

The trick is to know WHEN to dive deep, because you are right that managers also have to maintain a broad perspective.

But being able to sniff out problems and then dive into them has always been the hallmark of a great manager/executive, at least in my own experiences.

Nobody talking about Rocksmith here!? Really!?

> in my new company, where we do not have any process at all, just a common goal. Instead of standups, the team gathers for a coffee in the morning. If I want to spend 3 days learning a new framework that might do the product good, nobody cares. The only thing that counts is the endresult. That means we are beating the product into submission until its good, even if it means rewriting the thing three times and missing deadlines. So no more Scrum for me. Never.

I love this. Mind sharing the name of the company?

And me!

>Einstein was, by all accounts I've seen, a pretty nice fellow.

Except to his wife.

If we're setting "never had a failed relationship" as the bar, virtually everyone's an asshole.

Blood for the blood god!
