Interesting how many upvotes this got yet this didn’t make the front page. Wonder if this topic is shadow banned or something from HN.

What could have been done differently ? What should we do diffidently going forward ?

Wow great suggestion, thanks! Frankly I’m glad my news sources have stopped reporting on it so frequently… or I have just become immune. :)

I was either spared that one or my vaccines were still fresh enough…

If the fed has anything to do with it we will be in one by year end

We are seeing a complete disintegration of the institutional structures that have kept everything together.

For many in my circle it is different things:

“life’s too short for this..”

“I’m quietly suffering in social isolation from the pandemic”

“I want more money”

“I feel hopeless I will ever get anywhere so why bother”

Conversely there are a cohort who have just dug their heels in and have almost gotten a promo/raise or both almost by default from the sheer volume of churn alone.

Don’t they do extensive user testing on these products ? Surprising some of the design decisions they make with the amount of resources at their disposal

Some of these are quite confrontational and still come across as unprofessional. This has a very boomer feel to it. I think Gen Z will just say the what they want instead of applying a professional filter.

I get paid a fair amount to basically write memos. My cycle is basically- put phone away, write some thoughts in a notebook, type them into word doc, rinse and repeat until memo is done.

The notebook helps because there aren’t 1,000 tabs / apps open. The phone is down so no social media bs. So this is really just a focusing exercise. And of course there is something pleasurable in touching the right pen to paper and feeling the pen move along the paper.

Yay wokeism has infiltrated emoji

Why is this flagged? Come on

What.. you people don’t like cows? :(

It doesn’t have to be. Ideally it should be some time boxed mix of (1) finding yourself (2) once you find yourself specialize in that (3) make friends (4) get some work/research experience

Obviously that’s not for everyone. You don’t need to go to college to do any of that either. It’s a signal that you may have learnt something and may have some smarts if you went to a good school. Beyond that if you’re sharp and GSD on the job, that ultimately outweighs everything else. How you get there - doesn’t have to be via college.

Nice blog post, to the point.

This is great. Protect our cows.

Wow this feels historic for some reason.

I was so turned off and offended when I saw PG mentioned in what looked like a lovely appreciation of Van Eyck.

Van Eyck is an absolute genius of an artist whether he is validated by some billionaire tech moghul or not. Do not destroy the beauty of the art with logic and technological aggression.

Wow what a fantastic response. A wonderful example of what I come here for. Thanks for sharing this.

I just like little cute miniature things that are all just a little bit different. They all look like they go together like a family but are all unique. But when you put them all together they look complete.

Incredible how we’re still learning new things like this in 2022.

Basically whether it’s rational to dump his stake in Twitter to you or me doesn’t matter. He Carries enough influence that investors will spook and it may trigger a sell off. It’s possible Dorsey knew this was coming and parag is enjoying the leftovers

Yes exactly this

They are backed into a corner here. They don’t have a choice. Elon’s got ‘em.

There’s always going to be a glass issue. Communicating the issue, being open to listening, knowing what to let go and what matters is what makes or breaks things. There’s no algorithm to this, relationships are founded on love, which is an emotion that has little to do with intellect or logic. So for these things ultimately love is the answer.

Matthew 6 - what a great work
