Could someone explain this recent surge in CAD OS projects to me?

Nevertheless, looks really cool!
> It's just the natural result of somebody not letting others do things, and fail and learn on their own on the way.

How is this supposed to work though? You can do it yourself and succeed, or you can allow others to fail. If others are constantly failing where you (feel like you) could have succeeded, that’s it’s own form of exhausting.

I think this article resonates with me. I am coming from the perspective of being at the same company at least longer than three years.

I had an opinion that being indispensable was a key to _something_ better, but it isn't. It started to be unsatisfying when I saw that I was being asked the same questions, doing the same set of tasks, getting the same requests (got to be on this call about a project I am not involved in because it touches something I know, "can you go on a call with the client with us?", etc. etc.) This was my burnout. My job description is not "account manager", "consultant", or anything that remotely resembles a customer-facing position, nor did I ever want to be. At least for me, this has mostly ended after taking action on it with my boss, but I still have to push back a little bit on things that take away from the focus I have now.

I came to the opinion though, through this, in comparing multiple jobs, that when someone gets trapped into that position, it is a sign of an immature organization. Leadership needs to be constantly aware that if you are in crunch-mode, the organizational debt collects a lot. There needs to be a level of de-personalization around the tasks and projects involved and if it must be personal, people need to go out of their way, with full transparency, on how others helped them.

One role I play is to work with others to understand, improve and discover what we do while making improvements. While we would grow into the position with knowledge of what to do in certain circumstances, its probably important to continue to emphasize that the end-goal is not to create more walking encyclopedias, but those competent to keep things going while pushing forward on new projects and working on new opportunities. For software development management, this has always been to me one of the harder things to do right (and no matter how much "agile" you dump into it, it is very important to create a motivation for a strong team ethic around knowledge.) Just getting through a queue of bugs is a hard thing to do that something as critical as that can get easily ignored.

Many times, I wanted to walk away from where I work now because of this, but the grass isn't greener on the other side. It will never matter what organization you are in. When you open your mouth answering a question with what sounds like an intelligent answer, the next step has to manage the expectation that you are not working on someone else's project and that you are not owning someone else's problem. Being clear on that has helped my mental health a lot when boundaries are in place.
I would say your assumption here is unkind and itself lazy.

I have often seen this kind of situation and the cause has always been the same: The most senior in the organisation are ridiculously poor at building their org.

They have hired someone who is pretty great at stuff and they got them by accident, for cheap due to some circumstance, and now attempt to grow without realising they got lucky.

They hire net negative contributors and making it more difficult to deliver, not less. They cannot comprehend that there won’t be some magic that turns these people into productive and driven employees without their own growth in skills, attitude, and care in direction. They are likely incapable of such things.

The person or people at the center of this are stuck, yes. They can’t spread their knowledge because others will actively avoid admitting the docs exist, or refuse to ask Google or another employee. They certainly can’t spread their attitude and skills because no-one else cares or has the incentive or ability to skill up.

There is only one eventual route for the capable and driven: leave and go somewhere where there are better people in senior roles.
Yeah, just copying to a preset on the playground. Whenever I try to reach out to Stack Overflow or get stuck on documentation, I'd open up Codex.

It's possible to set up an API to it, but it's not yet at the point where it's worth doing. I think it's possible to get Codex to write the script, now that I think about it.
During the university I haven't studied Bloom Filters, and I found them later during my career. This is mostly undergrad student material, or for people who were in my situation, and want to get an idea about Bloom Filters works.
"Friday 08:00 at my location" is not necessarily the same as "Friday 08:00 London time" is not necessarily the same as "Friday 08:00 UTC+1", but it's very difficult to ask the user which of these they mean in a way they'll understand.

I (very occasionally) work on some software that schedules web content to appear at a certain future time. We had a bug once where during summer, an editor had scheduled an item to appear a few weeks in the future, at 09:00. We displayed this time back to them in our current local timezone (but presumably stored it as UTC), and it looked correct. When that scheduled date came, our timezone had reverted to winter time, and the content appeared an hour late.

We should have displayed the scheduled time in "what the local timezone would be at the scheduled time", or stored the time with a timezone expressed as a location rather than a UTC offset.
But there is actually right and wrong in this. If there were no consequences to NIMBY-ish no one would care, but the truth is from a house price and climate standpoint, we can't afford NIMBY-ism. I'm a homeowner in a pretty nice part of a large North American city and while I enjoy some aspects of my life, i think the current state of the world makes NIMBY-ism an objectively incorrect position. More people need to be able to afford to live in cities so that we can have more efficient , less carbon intensive lives on average.

Ok so this is social-psychology in an economic framework. That is what it is, and I think we should view such articles as rhetoric rather than science.

That said... there are some good, pertinent ideas here.

From author on twitter:

Second, an influential idea in social science is that the main thing that is wrong with political media is misinformation or fake news. This idea is wrong. The share of misinformation in most people's information diet is minimal.(11/16)

Misinformation, and I think this is intuitive to observers of the current misinformation/censorship dynamic is not really about misinformation or any kind of information. It's much more about rhetoric, argumantal frames or "rationalisations," where the author places emphasis.

Information (true or false) itself is like an crappy commodity market. It's ubiquitous, evergreen , relatively vendor neutral, and too cheap to produce for profit.

Rhetoric otoh, has a fine market. It has a literal economic market and a social/informal market.
Where do you think people like Nadine Dorries get these ideas from? I've been reading techies denounce "algorithms" in social media platforms and search engines for months now.
I will say I’m constantly bewildered by which license to choose. I’m using copyleft to defend myself a bit. But weak copyleft because I’ve hate that the gpl prevents blender plug-ins from being closed source or linking against something closed source. Plasticity will allow plug-ins to do whatever they want, that’s the goal.

There is some possibility I will switch to MIT since philosophically I’m more in that camp

Yes, of course it is. It makes a number of fallacious claims under the guise of peace, which is anything but given Russia's bloody track record. Russia has no interest in settling for just Crimea and now Donetsk and Luhansk. The very casus belli they invaded on was to de-nazify the Ukrainian state and to replace Zelensky with a more amenable puppet.

The author then encourages rewarding nation-state venturism by just giving Russia what they want, the consequences of being a return to the brutal time of empire and violence on an untold scale.

The entire basis of NATO expansionism being a cause for war is entirely fictitious based both on Putin's own writings and the proximity of other actual NATO members to its borders.

This is an invasion about geography (hello land bridge), resources (hello 80 percent of Ukraine's natural resources in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts) and the death cries of a country spiraling down the drain of its own demographics crunch (hello 44 million new citizens).
Some systems are more appropriate than just those options, but it requires player cooperation.

The way they work is better for the network, because it asks only for the N next MB from current position to be available ASAP, but the rest can be downloaded randomly to help the network like a standard client would do.
You'll benefit from dropping any notion of having expectations at all. Expectations usually lead to being disappointed.
I strongly believe that the projects that adhere to woke people like Debian seems to do will slowly be disfavored by developers and the most skilled ones will join other projects and they will then thrive while projects filled with SJW will slowly succumb to meaningless discussions, projects and become more and more irrelevant.

In order to make progress you can't throw out people because their opinions differs from yours. Identity politics is something that destroys productivity and prohibits challenging thoughts since it basically requires everyone to think and act in the same way.

Just look at Mozilla, Firefox usage it's the lowest it's ever been and their focus seems to be on everything except what's relevant to their core business.
How was having people from all over Europe cultural uniformity? They could not even agree which version of Christianity to believe in. They arrived as Germans, Brits, Irishmen and Italians and now they're all indistinguishably Americans, and still are able to celebrate their heritage.

Wiping out the native population is a very sad moment of US history that doesn't invalidate my point.
This is quite a simple interpretation and so going to be wrong in many situations. But I find that so are those who are adamant that all technical debt is bad. I've seen some people fixate on the idea of technical debt and tie themselves in knots with the impossible mission of not creating any. I see technical debt as akin to government debt, in that some amount enables flexibility and agility so can be accepted and handled but too much debt can rapidly become crippling, especially at times of crisis or bug change. So thoughtful design choices are needed about when to accept some debt, when to do more work to not introduce any, and very importantly, when to pay some off.

I think trying out the lifestyle/budget that you would expect is good advice.
At the same time you would be building up a financial buffer.

If you're already spending below your means then you may want to contemplate what value money has to you and/or what you want out of it in the long run. Maybe it's a social status thing, maybe you have practical goals like buying/paying off a house.
A financial plan can help to see what you need/want and how much money/stocks etc. your saving without the intent to spend it. To me personally if I have money that I don't see myself spending it's value (my personal evaluation) goes down significantly.

For example: I earn significantly less than $100k a year. Doesnt stop me from spending $200 on a dinner for two at a french restaurant. I can't do this every week - but I wouldnt want to. That wouldnt feel special. These $200 are above my usual expenditures and would potentially be over $1000 when I retire if invested properly... and yet I believe it's worth it.

Huh, very interesting. Quote from the twitter thread linked in a sibling comment:

> When preferences for beliefs are widespread, this constraint gives rise to rationalization markets in which agents compete to produce justifications of widely desired beliefs in exchange for money and social rewards such as attention and status.

As an example: when people would really like to believe in an afterlife due to fear of death but cannot find evidence for such an afterlife themselves, people and organisations will pop up to cater to this belief in various ways and the most "believable" offer will win out in the long term. This seems obviously true, though I had never considered it in these terms before. I wonder what the other obvious occurrences are (climate change beliefs and Ukrainian war propaganda seem like obvious examples) and/or if there are any direct applications of this principle other than becoming a better propagandist.
> I’m using copyleft to defend myself a bit. But weak copyleft because I’ve hate that the gpl prevents blender plug-ins from being closed source or linking against something closed source

So you're ok with using copyleft to defend yourself, but not ok with others to use copyleft to defend themselves ? This is bewildering

The passenger count is so heavily influenced by factors outside of the bus driver’s influence that this example doesn’t make sense.

Passengers don’t abandon bus routes because the bus driver didn’t smile at them. They abandon routes when the schedule is inconvenient, there are better alternatives to the bus, the fare is too high etc etc. None of these are in the control of the bus driver.
The information FWIW is often true. The FWIW is often low worth, and the inferences drawn worthless. Two outlier scientists self publish a radical theory does not make the sentence "scientists prove x" high value.

Changing school times cannot happen in isolation. That will also cause work times to shift to match their drop-off and pick-up times. So as work times for parents shift, so would opening hours for restaurants and shops and finally the society as a whole adjust their daily routines by an hour.
Agile might work for someone else, but I never saw it work. I saw this trying to be applied, amongst other methodologies, but the real sticking factor is whether a group of people feel like they are solving actual issues in the end. "Agile" or any methodology was a bit make-work, to fill a role that we can report on the specific progress of small things. At least for me, seeing people learning to handle issues, get through real features needed without the minute formalities has made them, and myself, more engaged in what I do. Being practical in the end gets you farther than having faith in a strict process.
I think its wrong to call it xenophobia when your culture and race is at risk of being diluted and minimised into a minority in your own country. I would even go so far as to call it xenophilia if you welcome that for your own people.
You make the EU actually use French as a working language, even though German has far more native speakers in Europe and is also a working language nobody insists on using. You also make the whole parliament move to Strasbourg every other week for no reason.

But at least you are comitted to the EU, so as long as the ECB stays in Frankfurt, we are fine with your special treatment. Although you could tip better ...

> A production facility in SODO might operate between 06:00 and 15:00 because they need to get their production onto a freight that leaves at 16:30. An industry might start at 07:00 because they work with perishable product that arrives with a lorry at 06:30 and it is really important that the lorry doesn’t get stuck in rush hour traffic.

> The workers might see this as a benefit because they most often commute by car and they get to beat rush hour. And then you have a worker culture which is really hard to change.

Well in that case it doesn't make any difference to them whether we're talking about changing clocks so 09:00 is 1 hour earlier, or other companies changing their starting time to 08:00. So I don't see how this is an argument for one or the other. If your position is that other companies shouldn't be allowed to change their start time (one way or another) because it might affect this production company, surely that's the tail wagging the dog.

If everybody around is relatively incompetent, then the superstar at the center can't fix that. The overall result that the org produces is based on everybody and eventually "regresses to the mean" of what everybody contributes. Management and also the superstar need to accept that.

I write "relative" because it's a matter of perspective. Maybe from the superstars perfectionist perspective, the others are incompetent, but from the outside they are "good enough". Or maybe they are not, but the point is that there is a mismatch and the superstar needs to either accept that or leave. The third alternative, trying to lift things to the superstars (real or perceived) standard by "I'll just do it myself" is not sustainable and results in situations as in the discussed article.

> "Agile" or any methodology was a bit make-work, to fill a role that we can report on the specific progress of small things.

Agile isn't a methodology, and most methodologies described as Agile eschew formal minutiae.

The problem is, of course, that methodologies, of whatever origin, are, in practice, subject to top-down, non-Agile modification to suit the taste of managers who thrive of formalized minutiae, and, also, the starting point of methodologies for many shops isn't the original description by Agile practitioners who developed them while delivering superlative value but customized versions crafted by and marketed alongside consultants whose jobs are largely telling command-and-control-oriented managers what they want to hear.

Sorry, the "farming" myth is one of my ocd triggers. DST is for golf courses and has never had anything to do with farming. Businesses want more daylight hours after office people get out of work to get those people to spend more money. This is the original trigger that caused the golf lobby to push congress to enact daylight savings.

The problem is the "consistent yardstick" actually. People are accustomed to start work at "8am", and react badly to being told to start work at "7am". So we change the clock so that their yardstick "8am" occurs at solar 7am and people get out of work earlier. And people now are like "lets keep summer time" which is the exact equivalent of "lets always go to work at solar 7am".
