Ok, that's funny

J'utilise Famileo depuis plus de 2 ans, et c'est effectivement quelque chose qui manquait jusqu'à maintenant. Cela devient même un réseau social puisque chacun partage ses actualités, qui se retrouvent livrées chaque mois aux grand-parents

I realized that, if we look back on many of those projects she worked on, it wasn’t as simple as she made it sound. In retrospect, a lot of the projects she got assigned to were initially not glamorous. They didn’t initially call for net new design work, many of them weren’t even that fun to start out on. In fact, I can recall many times she got assigned to projects and teams that were in a slump, and were slogging through the work. I could really only think of one or two examples in years of working together where she was handed something that was a desirable project from the very start. [...] What made those projects glamorous and desirable was her and how she approached the work. There’s that old nugget about making your own luck and that is something she excelled at. She had a unique ability to take really hard or nebulous problems (both design and team-related) and morph them into something amazing that got people excited. Instead of getting discouraged, she’d respond to friction with more energy, more enthusiasm. In so many ways, she was a transformative presence on any team and project.

Because over time, I found that she was someone who could take that hard, unamazing stuff and make it seem effortless and amazing.

he projects weren’t good. They were made good.

By induction, the only programmers in a position to see all the differences in power between the various languages are those who understand the most powerful one. (This is probably what Eric Raymond meant about Lisp making you a better programmer.) You can't trust the opinions of the others, because of the Blub paradox: they're satisfied with whatever language they happen to use, because it dictates the way they think about programs.

The source code of the Viaweb editor was probably about 20-25% macros.

Computer hardware changes so much faster than personal habits that programming practice is usually ten to twenty years behind the processor. At places like MIT they were writing programs in high-level languages in the early 1960s, but many companies continued to write code in machine language well into the 1980s.

Piccalilli seems to be a good studio. They provide tool, experiences and insights for others.

I always wanted the studio to do net good and give back as much — if not more — than it takes. The thing is, running a studio that supports staff is hard, so naturally, you take on projects that you might not fully be behind. We’ve done great work — and continue to do so — but collectively, we’re all a bit burned out with Marketing™ oriented and KPI-chasing work.

A better method to hire devs.

La micro-entreprise me correspondrait alors mieux: sans engagement, et comme activité annexe, sans frais.

Deux écueils :

• La fisca­lité se fait sur le chiffre d’af­faire et pas sur le résul­tat. Si vous avez des frais, ils ne se retran­che­ront pas au montant impo­sable. Le régime peut alors deve­nir bien moins inté­res­sant.
• Le chiffre d’af­faire est plafonné (77 k€ par an pour de la pres­ta­tion de service) et un dépas­se­ment deux ans de suite vous fait sortir du statut.

3. Everything is done according to SOPs
4. SOPs are regularly updated

One nice thing about being employed is when you wake up, you know what you're going to do. You're going to work. The choice has been made.

The author shares ways he tries to stay motivated:

1. Work on things that you find engaging
2. Building routines into the day: Coffee and a walk with my partner, gym for an hour, journal and write, work block 1 (3 hours), lunch and chill, work block 2 (3 hours).

Do I manage to keep to this structure every day? No. But I try and mostly succeed. It's a framework. Sometimes I'm just not feeling it and allow myself a day off to read or play PlayStation. Without forcing myself to grind I never get too ground down.

3. I'm intentional with my down-time

To preserve my focus I don't engage with any of these platforms until the end of the work day.

4. I hang out with people in my field
5. I write about it

When to choose a responsive website over Progressive Web Apps over native Apps

1. Rester calme
2. Ne pas être obnubilé par l’argent
3. Savoir combiner plusieurs rôles

Cela fonctionne bien!
