What is weird is that organizations that purport to be against risk will often do their projects exactly in this very risky way. Within an institutional logic, it often seems like there is no alternative but that is up to a few people to change.
Emine is erg slim en dit moet dus een van de sterkere argumenten voor het dragen van een hoofddoek zijn. Ik vind het niet bijzonder overtuigend maar dat terzijde.
Het gedoe waar ze probeerden mee te profiteren van de Toeslagenaffaire en ook nog eens dit lekker anti-woke doen om het doen. Het lijkt erop dat de Correspondent wat altijd al lastig was en beetje de weg kwijt is.
It’s nice that these startups guys take a public schooling so well. It would be nice if we could see more of that on Clubhouse instead of the endless rows of bad panels.
> Perhaps this was one of those things which would have been better off left to legal professionals, rather than being put to trial-by-Clubhouse.
> both peddling books which really should have been tweets
> While both women make passing references to social movements, neither are particularly interested in the terrain of collective struggle.
> reparations isn’t an individual white person giving money to an individual Black or brown person (apart from when I personally am broke and want a cocktail, in which case it’s very much that)
> Rather it has intensified their consumption of political content — particularly material which equates white guilt with anti-racist solidarity.> The influencers have invented intersectional Thatcherism.
“This is all to say that Paul Graham is an effective marketer and practitioner, but a profoundly unserious public intellectual. His attempts to grapple with the major issues of the present, especially as they intersect with his personal legacy, are so mired in intuition and incuriosity that they’re at best a distraction, and worst a real obstacle to understanding our paths forward.”
I am immensely happy to see two friends launch Branch, a magazine about creating a sustainable internet. The way they put the magazine together mirrors the best practices of the future we should live in right now.
De Toeslagenaffaire laat zien dat de Belastingdienst en grote delen van de Nederlandse politiek (en hier ook het journaille, specifiek de Correspondent) verrot zijn.
It sounds like a great idea here by Albert Wenger to force all major web properties to provide full read and write access to their APIs and in doing so promote the much needed competition.
“So if, as a product leader/CEO, you think your team isn’t 1 working on things that truly matter, or 2 achieving results that justify the investment, it is first ON YOU to figure out which of the 4 strategy problems you have, and fix them.”
Apple is not a company where general managers oversee managers; rather, it is a company where experts lead experts. The assumption is that it’s easier to train an expert to manage well than to train a manager to be an expert.
Als ik het verhaal over witwassen in de Amsterdamse binnenstad hier lees, denk ik dat het hier in Berlijn zonder overdrijven tien keer zo erg is (decennia armoede, corruptie en geen enkele prioriteit bij de lokale overheid).
A crucial part of effective teams is introducing slack like in this case removing the entire concept of a hand-off (which causes misalignment at best).
“Ultimately the truly great product manager ensures that everyone in their organization feels connected to the business, and shares an equal level of urgency and commitment to the customer’s needs.”
Something I have to keep reminding people of: “Once you reach a certain level, all problems are solved by people. There is no such thing as a purely technical problem.”
The nice part of working on open source is I can finally share some of the amazing work my team has been doing. Here’s some forthcoming Suricata contributions by Sascha and Frank with more on the way.
After having been locked out of my Instagram account for months because of wrongful reports, I have just gotten back access to the account for a week or so and I already get the first people reporting me again.
So the Instagram handle that I thought I had lost was returned to me suddenly last week (thanks to a friend). Not sure whether I’ll get to keep it this time round, but let’s try.
Once we expect leadership to come from everybody at work, engineers don’t have to switch to management anymore to be able to lead and be rewarded for it.
The government has made it clear that its main purpose is not to save lives or protect the vulnerable. It exists to ensure that assets never depreciate and that wealth is never redistributed downward. Capital has never seemed so fictitious.
“I am successful if I’m saying the right “No”s to my manager. If the ICs that report to my manager end up feeling like “I told you so”or “We knew this was a bad idea”and that wasn’t surfaced for a discussion, that’s on me.”
Something to remember when embarking on a journey to improve large and complex systems of humans and technology: small changes can make big a difference and afterwards nobody will really remember how bad things were.
