One of my more surreal moments recently: "Through a convoluted and somewhat comical set of circumstances, we find ourselves in a situation where the app actually works, right now, on prod - but it will break in early May. May 6th, actually. At 4:54pm, to be precise."

Are there other disciplines outside of software development with consistent 10x differences in individual contributors (controlling for experience)? My hypothesis: a significant bottleneck in software is the human brain in the chair. IOW, there's a *higher ceiling*.

This might be the greatest website design I've ever seen. I recently told a friend that SF is the only major US city you'd have to *pay me* to visit. After 1 minute on this site, I've got Kayak open and looking at prices.

One of my biggest realizations post-college: It’s okay to stop a book after only reading a couple chapters. A great books curriculum spoils you. The majority of books are terrible.

“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.” — Daniel Webster, former U.S. Secretary of State (1850-1852)

As a developer & designer, few things are as humbling as watching the @hotjar session replays of your elegantly beautiful UI completely befuddling your users.

I'm now monkey patching querySelectorAll on an element. Further evidence that no good code is written after midnight 🙈

Is there a Dribbble for database schema design? I routinely find myself trying to model a particular domain problem in SQL, and end up thinking “other people have certainly encountered this exact problem before”.
