Human feedbacks

Never mind that you can also harvest code from any of your shelved projects. I mean why rewrite the Fisher–Yates shuffle algorithm if you have it already in a shelved game? Code for switching the monitor depth (on those early Macs) I moved from game to game… Polygon-point collision code, a sine lookup-table for quick trig functions, a dot-product routine, cross-product routines…

was the whole exercise of my guerilla programming technique a wash? Maybe. But it always served me well

There were times too when a coworker might have said, “You should have used a Bloom Filter” and I was able to come back with, “Yeah, already tried that but the typical data we are seeing is so small that the performance gains were negligible and added unnecessary complexity to the code base so I tossed it.” Boom!

A feeback about starting a small business. It is full of insights and experiences.

About running Blue Dwarf

"workarounds to cyber security are the norm, rather than the exception. They not only go unpunished, they go unnoticed in most settings—and often are taught as correct practice."

About IT in healthcare systems. The article provide many examples.

The author avoided debt, but was it worth it?

A great feedback

Mann kann erst skalieren, dann optimieren, wenn es ein Drittels des Tages dauert. Der erste Prozess, um PDFs zu erzeugen, ist total innefizient. Es zeigt auch, dass Optimierungen der letzte Schritt des Produkts ist. Sie haben damit lange gelebt. Die Architektur ist eine gute Beispiel für horizontale Skalierung.

An experience with Axum.

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

When I asked myself that question I realized I should be working for myself, building things that help people, consulting with people to help them, and putting that content into the world somehow.

Daniel Miessler runs Unsupervised Learning, so he's building the platform. He's doing some consulting and advising related to customers for a service company. He also has the podcast and newsletter :)

The result from all of this is that the promise of going to school, getting a stable job at a company, and having some sort of future from that is—or at least feels—more tenuous than ever.

I believe that the time for being identified by—and tied to—corporate jobs is passing, and it’s time to transition to what comes next

Think about work like a relationship. It’s hard to be a good partner if you’re not first healthy and independent on your own.
