I don't really see the point of this until we have abundant, virtually free energy. (Which I think we never will, thanks to climate change and capitalism)

Limiting the amount of work in progress is, in my opinion, the single reason to focus on Kanban.

Of course, most tools get this wrong, so it's not surprising that it's missing here.

WIP limits are the good stuff.

No WIP limits?

I've applied to Temporal several times. I would be a good fit, but I have yet to even get a recruiter screening. What does one have to do to get a fair shake?

They should just go write golang, if this is what they want.
The devs are clearly biased.

Look, i have Oauth2 trauma, and hate ForgeRock, but that doesn't mean they don't have a place

The author's point about Elden Ring is especially on point..

Because not only do you need to be level 50, but you need to try and fail five times before you see any kind of success.

Failure is _inevitable_. Quitting is optional.

You have to learn from each mistake.

"fixed"

This is a useless and insipid editorial. I don't want the problem redeclared. We know this. We want solutions.

This is one of the dumbest and most obvious journal articles I've ever read.
Also fun, in Oklahoma, most (2/3rds or so) of the certified professionals who do the fittings are employees of NSM or NuMotion.
They do not. I just was fitted for one. I asked "how much is this retail, out the door, cash?"

$24,000.

So if Medicare is paying $65k, something is seriously wrong.

Because this is advertising :)
If just one of them had improved ventilation, maybe some of us might have felt safe enough to give a shit.
