Reading Bad Blood at the moment and this post immediately made me think of it. Obviously Tesla has already released products that work etc. and I have no clue whether who is in the right here but it's not often we have high profile tech companies suing employees like this.
Welcome to Chicago. Also not a dev, looking for an interesting challenge to throw myself into. Built a few side projects, vc by day, mattmg83.guthub.io
PM if interested to meet people in Chicago (trying to do a monthly group happy hour thing)
I see twitter as a good personal bookmarking tool that's exposed to the world. I use it for myself but also hope once in a while a client or employer sees my profile and thinks my view of the world and what I read is interesting. So not personal branding in the sense of growing my brand but more so in the sense of having of track record of my authentic interests, ideas, and shares.
From the text itself, in the words of Lou Gerstner. "You always get more of what you measure" could be the root of a solution.
I think that's the idea behind the Gross National Happiness. You find a metric that mostly fits in with the capitalist model but has fewer negative externalities.
I'm a meat eater that's being won over by Impossible Burger. I could seriously consider going entirely meat free if a few other meat and fish alternatives came about that are as good.
I would recommend Kevin Horsley's Unlimited Memory[0] over Foer's Moonwalking with Einstein.
Foer is a lot of hype and unfocused, whereas Horsley almost immediately gets down to brass tacks after a brief introduction meant to energize you, and provides a great general overview that leaves you with the knowledge of how to continually improve beyond what the book provides.
Related concepts, in the Netherlands they taught everyone to open their car door with the right hand, which makes your head turn and improves odds of spotting a cyclist.
I was taught (in the Netherlands) to hold the door with your right hand while you release the latch with the left. The benefit is not only turning the torso to see cyclists, but also holding on to the door in case there's a gust of wind.
The latter has saved the neighbor's car door a number of times.
> which makes your head turn and improves odds of spotting a cyclist.
It doesn't because, when you turn your head, your view behind you will be blocked by the B-pillar of the car. It's actually better to look in the side mirror to check for cyclist before opening the door.
It's actually better to teach cyclists to not ride within 6 feet of a parked vehicle.
I believe you're correct. Also, we've been churning out CS graduates and coding bootcamp graduates like crazy, so the bottom of the labor market is the only place where supply may meet or exceed demand, while the top (highly experienced) is still a pretty thin pool (relatively speaking)
And many of those bootcamp graduates will be a) drowning in work b) be ill equipped to get the skills to join the top 10% where most will be need to be credentialed. That bootcamp certificate is a Wage Slave License.
