Graphing Calculator Story

A very alarming story of how two ex-Apple workers continued to come to the office and were working (initially, 12, then 16, hours a day) on a complex project. I don't understand why would they do so...

How much of your life are you selling off?

www.raptitude.com/2013/04/how-much-of-your-life-are-you-selling-off

Most people’s financial decisions are driven by what the people around them decide — which, in this culture, typically ranges from thoughtless to completely backwards — and conscious thought about the getting the best deal on happiness doesn’t enter the picture. Would you rather have five all-expenses-paid years off to spend with your family, learn a language or build a business — or drive a big car instead of a small car? It’s shockingly normal for people to choose the latter, because they have no idea that they’re making that choice at all.

...

I am way happier already. In the three months since I’ve been smarter about my spending, I’ve saved three months’ worth of living expenses, which has an immediate stress-reducing effect. I could get laid off or fired and have plenty of time to figure out what to do, so there’s much less day-to-day stress about my job performance, which has actually led to an effortless improvement in job performance. I have a sense of control over my life that I’ve never felt before. These intangible dividends are immediate, and they don’t cost a cent because the money is still mine.

Are You a Micromanager?

Everyone knows micromanagement is evil, but very few understand what exactly it is and what's a better alternative.

Hits-of-Code Instead of SLoC

www.yegor256.com/2014/11/14/hits-of-code.html

How about we measure the amount of times programmers touch the lines. Instead of counting the number of lines we’ll count how many times they were actually modified—we can get this information from Git (or any other SCM). The more you touch that part of the aircraft—the more effort you spent on it, right?

I called it Hits-of-Code (HoC) and created a small tool to help us calculate this number in just one line.

What a nice idea! I installed this program and ran it on Betula and Mycorrhiza codebases. For Betula it's 26350 HoC, for Mycorrhiza it's 137208 HoC. Yeah, Betula is still comparatively young! Hey, what about Mycomarkup? 23443. Oh wow, just a little less than Betula. I expected a small number.

Сервисы

grishaev.me/services

Я согласен с тем, что логику нужно разносить по сервисам. Но сервисы должны использовать общую шину данных: базу, очередь сообщений, файлы в S3 в конце концов. Гонять друг другу JSON выглядит хорошо в теории, но на практике — фу.

Условный Постгрес выплюнет миллион записей за доли секунды. Забрать этот же миллион из другого сервиса — приключение на неделю. Тут и метрики, лимиты, квоты, сетевые спайки, etc… А когда таких запросов несколько, сервис ложится спать.

My note-taking process

rubber-duck-typing.com/posts/2023-01-19-note-taking.html

Игорь рассказывает, как делает заметки.

Вложенные теги не нужны

Do not try to create a hierarchy (taxonomy) for your notes. It is not scalable and only works for narrow domain. Prefer tags.

Не понимал, зачем раскрашивать буквы в книжках, но Игорь пишет, что это полезно, когда есть комментарии

It is not useful to highlight without commenting. Writing summary is mandatory, highlighting is optional 1.
