The Roman Empire was basically modern. It had currency, banks, loans with interest, etc.

At the same time, the Slavic countries up north still were pre-monetary. There was little to no currency, but there was extensive trade in fur, salt, and other goods.

With that said, I'm quite surprised that jQuery is not abandoned, barely heard about it in the past decade or so. I suspect also that it is mostly part of boilerplate coming from other libraries and frameworks, and rarely intentional.

>Customers are rarely able to express their underlying issue. They usually communicate what they think the solution is.

In my experience the vast majority of PMs do exactly this. Half of my job since I became a staff+ engineer almost a decade ago is taking “solutions” from product managers and trying to figure out what they really want.
Maybe for some people. Personally I don’t find it very interesting. From the people I know on Instagram, the pictures they take and the stories they write are extremely curated and artificial.

It’s like deciding to date a famous actress based on a character she played in a movie. She may look like the character but personality and interest-wise she’s unlikely to be anything even remotely resembling the character!

This really takes the artificiality of the dating profile and explodes it to an incredible degree. I’d much rather meet someone through a common interest and start dating organically. That’s basically what the article is saying is coming back.

>My impression of XSLT is that there were representatives from every different programming language paradigm on the XSLT standard committee, and each one of them was able to get just enough of what was special about their own paradigm into the standard to showcase it while sabotaging the others and making them all look foolish, but not enough to actually get any work done or lord forbid synergistically dovetail together into a unified whole.

>The only way I was ever able to get anything done with XLST was to use Microsoft's script extensions to drop down into JavaScript and just solve the problem with a few lines of code.

This is not true as Native American can mean many things, and the fossil record for the Americas is richer in South America than it is North America, some of which may be in part due to the Smithsonian coverup.

The Paiute tribes, and others, have stories about the long war they fought against the Si-Te-Cah which were giant red-headed cannibals, and there are samples from that war that still exist. The Choctaw similarly have stories of their wars against the Nahullo (white giants), similarly, that were cannibals, as do many other tribes.

There have been many Smithsonian coverups of the well-reported giant findings https://grahamhancock.com/dewhurstr1/ and some of the skeletons are both the more ancient Giant Native American mound peoples (non-caucasian), and the described caucasian skulls.

South America is replete with giant skulls and skeletons, some of which have characteristics fundamentally different from normal human skulls and are not merely headboarded infants. Many of these skulls have some similarities to the Mound people's giant skulls found in North America.

Many of the skulls and DNA they've found are not simply North Asian, Eastern Asian and Southern Asian, but also show other groups history in the Americas too, such as the Australo-Melanesian findings

FWIW, this kind of comparison can become even more discouraging as you age. At 58, I'm pretty sure most of my PRs are behind me. The amount of training I'd have to do to get back down to my peak numbers is way more than I'm actually willing to do, and there's a high likelihood that such a high work rate would end in injury instead of success. Instead, I track how each run stacks up against others within some time period - a year, two years, five. A "two-year PR" feels pretty good. A "five-year PR" would be awesome, even if it's short of my all-time PR. I wish Garmin or Strava or whatever would support this kind of thing better.

The volume in the bar is a lot higher than you would expect. On a good night I could hit 3-4 bars with 50-100 people each. Easily screen off most, and talk to say 5-10. I’m by no means attractive but I could Usually get a number and convert 1/3 or 1/4 into a date.
The difference is that I didn’t have to swipe on the bulk of the candidates I rejected but also that those initially rejected still had a chance if a positive interaction happened.

Compare that to 50 per day out of a pretty poor pool and stiff competition and your odds are not looking great.

Most, but not all of them.

There is more than a million Palestinians living and working in Israel as its citizens. They hold positions in offices even such as a supreme court judge.

I seriously doubt that currency (a standardized medium of exchange) existed in prehistoric times. But barter economy certainly did, we have plenty of archeological evidence for it.

Still, even the barter economy was used for mostly "optional" activities. People were not dependent on it for survival, a tribe could live just fine on their own, without trade.

> I'd argue that the position taken above weakens the engineering practice. Understanding requirements (e.g. constraints) is a core element of engineering, engineering management, and general management.

Determination, evaluation, and articulation of requirements is the sweet spot of the product manager role. Understanding those requirements is certainly necessary for an engineer to build to the requirements.
These estimates seem weighted toward the reality that books are simply not read, and it is a meta-rationale, like the book's relevance to some theme that is perpetually bandied about in our political discourse, that is a more reliable vehicle for relevance. If books do end up being read again, and if therefore the individual merits predominate our perception, appreciation, and institution of these works, then the list would not be appropriately calibrated. As of now, it might be more right than wrong. It's not sad. It's not not sad. It's just the way it is.
"after a few unsuccessful years on the apps"

What does success mean to you exactly? If success is only finding the love of your life and getting married than everything else in your life will be a failure which sounds profoundly depressing.

In those "unsuccessful" years, did you have any fun dates? Interesting sex? Exciting flings? Because connecting with another person in those ways should be considered amazing successes!

Work long enough in one role and every other role starts to feel unnecessary. You start to learn what creates success for you personally, and expanding that will inevitably awkwardly slam you into other people who are now seemingly blocking you. Enter this feeling of “PMs are useless, just let me do it”.

I can guarantee that if you start being responsible for actual PM work for an extended period of time, you will start drafting your article about “they ask us to do too much, we need time to focus”

Working with other humans at scale is inherently difficult, we all take turns being the solution, and we all take turns being the problem. Such is life.

You see I totally agree with you, but I am not sure if grindr is solely to blame for this. It is a fair generalisation to say that men struggle far more with emotions and open communication. This is clearly demonstrable by looking at the male suicide rates: in my country (UK) they are roughly 3 times that of women. I have no doubt that is common across western countries.

So really to me the problem is that men, on average, struggle with expressing their emotions more. Asking those men to form healthy, loving relationships with other men is then a challenge. Not impossible, but certainly more difficult.

To me, Grindr is a symptom not the cause. If you are taught from a young age that men don't cry, toughen up and be a man etc, then sex is reduced to the physical act. Add in some emotional truama, which is again very common in the gay community, and the problem is exacerbated. Of course Grindr doesn't help and makes it all worse, but really they're just making money off the damage which is already done.
How is that possible? They make money on buying new cars in bulk and then selling them as used cars? I’m struggling to understand how flipping a depreciating asset is a profit center.

I think Product Managers are extremely valuable.

I believe the author must have worked with PMINO or Product Manager in Name Only. AKA, when companies hire Product Mangers (let's call them PM uppercase) and make them program managers (pm, and please this isn't me demeaning program managers by using lower case- just a differentiation).

A PM is in charge of setting product vision and realizing it. A pm is in charge of ensuring that happens by aligning resources. Both are really valuable parts of the team, but they are different roles. I don't believe it is good to mix the two because they are two distinct set of skills.

The PM is the war strategist who understands opponents' weakness and opportunities to strike for the campaign's success, while the pm is in charge of staging the battlefield to ensure those tactics can be carried out by keeping the battalions equipped for success. I know military analogies aren't everyone's cup of tea, but just using what I know.

The best PMs I've worked with were purely product focused. They didn't engage in resource alignment and dealing with middle managers. The best pms were purely managers. They engaged in working with engineering managers/directors to ensure the right people were working on the right initiatives. They kept schedules on track and helped everyone stay sane with the work that had to be done.

Maybe I am wrong too, but this is what I believe is the right approach that I plan to employ at my company. When the company is small and only a single engineering team (like 5 people total) I don't think there's any reason to have a pm. When there are multiple teams and distinct organizations, you really need pm so the PM can stay focused in their role.
> I'm sorry but that's just pining for a past that never happened. In the 20th century some 100 million people died from famine. Starved to death. We're down to 200,000 deaths from hunger per year, compared to an average of maybe 2M/year up to the 1960s, while the global population tripled.
Did some people eat well, some of the time in the 1900s? Absolutely.

I'm sorry, but perhaps it wasn't clear from context that I'm talking about the USA. There has never been a wide scale famine in the United States even in its poorest communities. Even during the Great Depression there were virtually no deaths due to starvation[1].

> But ending hunger is maybe the greatest conquest of our time and it's barely recognised. That's exactly the sort of expectation gap I was referring to in my original comment.

Your goalpost-moving notwithstanding, I'm reminded of that famous Sufi tale with the refrain "Good thing, bad thing, who knows?" After all the environmental impacts of the population explosion that it kicked off are still just barely beginning to be felt. But for what it's worth the Green Revolution was part of the standard curriculum when I was in middle and secondary school, so I wouldn't say it's unrecognized.

I never understood this line of thinking.

You put your Layer 4 bits into a Layer 3 packet with a larger address space, then stuff that into a Layer 2 frame, and send it off onto the wire/air waves.

You can have DHCP(v6) if you wish. DNS is only different with a new record type (AAAA). NAT-y stuff can still be done, but stateful firewalls are not different.

The fact that you can—if you wish—have less infrastructure (no DHCP server, no NAT (but still SPI)) should make it easier to deal with, not harder.
Here's what I have found, working in a big software company: The company has rigid roles. Often they are not able to find a good fit for the role. Rather than leaving the role unfilled, they hire whoever then can find. The person is not able to fill the role well, and that's when the bad things mentioned in the article happens.

The solution is to not be rigid with the role. Have the person do whatever they are best at doing.

This is not just a PM thing. If you hired a developer and it turns out they are not good at coding but are good at DevOps then let them do DevOps full-time, offloading DevOps responsibilities from other developers.
Well, considering that on these apps (and likely in the general population) men want to be in a relationship more than women, it's almost irrelevant what women should do to improve, there's already a brutal competition for them.

That said, the problem with these apps is that their business model depends on long term user value. (If you register for free, quickly find someone, then you paid nothing to them. Maybe they were able to show you a few ads.) And those who are on it for long tend to have problems. And especially big issue are those who don't give up, but are ruining the mood for others. (Which leads to even fewer women on the platforms.)

Hey thanks for the comment! I have read your entire feedback and love it.

Yes there are free tools that does the same job (I have noted that on the description of the post). The main difference is that Kimchi is capable of recognizing words correctly (ofc not 100%, but better than other tools. If you think there are better tools out there, I would love to see it!).

As for Anki, I don't want to rebuild a whole SRS on my side if that what you were thinking. I think Anki is an awesome software and does its job extremely well. So using it instead of recreating the wheel sound much more interesting.

For the content, I don't have anything right now indeed. I would love to build a customized content recommendation later matching with the knowledge you marked in Kimchi. But I don't plan producing material myself and I don't think I have level to do so anyway.

And finally for ML. I think I should use it where it make the most sense. I definitively want to use it! But I also don't want to use for the sake of using it. I wanted the foundation to be without, then ML can always be slapped on top of it. As you said, there's plenty of scenario where I could use it, be pronunciation, ocr for webtoon, translation with context for when you understand each word and grammar but still don't get the sentence, whisper, tts for making audiobook on the fly, etc.

An engineer's understanding of requirements entails determination, evaluation, and articulation of those requirements. Calling oneself an engineer doesn't preclude their ability to do these things, and force them to call themselves a "product manager" for doing so. And quite often, especially at more senior levels, an engineer must do these things.

Once upon a time, this too was a formalized practice in engineering that people called "Systems Engineering":

A lack of engineering leadership is certainly true. As is often told, the VP of engineering enjoyed creating PRs more than actually leading. There has never been an architect.

The point is though, product never challenged on approaches, and you’re right. They never came from technical backgrounds. Product managers were promoted from the BA ranks. They never raised technical questions like that - “Is it a bad thing if the customer has to connect this way for this API and another way for another API?” If the idea is that engineering asks those questions, I’d counter with that’s venturing squarely into product’s realm.
