If you were curious like me what PDCA is, this is the procedure in the article.

Plan: Recognize an opportunity and plan a change.

Do: Test the change. Carry out a small-scale study.

Check: Review the test, analyze the results, and identify what you’ve learned.

Act: Take action based on what you learned in the study step. If the change did not work, go through the cycle again with a different plan. If you were successful, incorporate what you learned from the test into wider changes. Use what you learned to plan new improvements, beginning the cycle again.

Ask HN: Recommendations for meditation course/exercise with proven benefits?

Are there folks here who take meditation seriously? Do you recommend any specific meditation course/exercise? Preferably something that has proven benefits?There are many meditation courses available online but all of them make claims about their techniques, the efficacy of which we cannot verify independently from other sources.

Re:C++ Coroutines Do Not Spark Joy on Monday November 01, 2021 @06:05AM (#29064771)
I am very surprised how complicated C++ is becoming in every revision.

It began with a simple goal of adding classes to C. The STL, inline functions, "true constants" were all nice stuff. C++11 introduced nice stuff like "auto", constexpr. But now the new features are increasing the complexity so much that it is becoming harder to learn the language. Is so much complexity worth? How can someone new to programming ever hope to learn this monstrosity?

If you don't like the culture and work it is not wrong to leave it soon and join a better place. But you can't know if the new place will not have other type of problems. You can't find out in interviews if new company too will have dysfunctional way of working. Nobody shares such things in interviews. If you have friends in other companies then it is the best way to learn how culture is in those companies.
If the project works fine, no problem. If there are issues that need fixing someone is going to pick it up and fork it.
