Unsung qualities that separate good software engineers from bad software engineers:
- Fun to work with
- Being organized
- Giving a shit

Simplicity will be the next theme in product.
If you ask any company what made them successful I don’t think anyone will say their advanced and complicated planning process got them there.

The longer you play the short game, the harder things get.
The longer you play the long game, the better the rewards.
This happens because the accumulation of tiny advantages makes the future easier, but the accumulation of tiny shortcuts makes the future harder.

Today in pulp... what shape is the Universe? Does it have an edge, a barrier, secret passages? Or is it 'turtles all the way down'?
There are a number of possible answers and - good news - they all involve Lobachevskian geometry! Yay!!

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.
ALT Wide-angle photo from NASA’s InSight lander on Mars shows the area in front of the lander in the late afternoon sun. Two science instruments tethered to the lander rest on the sandy surface nearby. Part of the lander’s robotic arm is visible extending down from the top left. Distortion from the wide-angle lens bends the distant horizon into a curved shape, while low-angle sunlight causes a small bluish lens flare on the right side.

I'm supposed to be an objective journalist. But I'm going to admit my feelings about the subject of today's story.
I like fog. A lot.
My infatuation led to this project (more of an experience, really, thanks to @nytclimate) and, now, this 🧵 nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

"I don’t think we’re talking about sustainability. I think we’re talking about managed depletion. Because it’s impossible to keep growing the food that we grow in California... The math just isn’t there to have sustainable groundwater management."

Don’t do things that don’t matter, as an individual or as an organization. Doubly so in the second case, because you’ll evolve an entire infrastructure enthusiastically supporting and dependent for their continued livelihood upon the thing that doesn’t matter.

Although often positioned in the opposite way, Fail Fast is actually a very expensive way of trying to learn what customers need. But most teams don’t understand that because they overestimate the malleability of their code and underestimate their own attachment to their ideas.
