That text is not devoid of merit. It’s true that often when my coworkers are spending an unexpectedly large amount of time on a task, it’s because they’re getting sidetracked or being too stubborn to ask for help or, as the article describes, are way overthinking something.

But.

That’s only generally a relatively minor problem; and the times when it’s a major problem are rare.

What’s a major, fundamental problem that regularly explodes in our faces is speed. Decision makers pushing for unmaintainable, barely functional crap under the excuse of pressing client deals and MVPs, and “go fast it’s just a prototype I swear” that gets shipped straight to production and never gets cleaned up.

No, slowness is not the main thing you should be focusing on.

I am, but there’s such a strong focus on American news and politics that I still jump back to Reddit a lot though

Never used one but I’ve heard the UX is rough in a few ways. Sorry, vague memories is all I have to offer

Man you pay bills manually? No chance I could manage that.

I don’t know because I’ve never done it but it doesn’t sound that bad

My employer: we love open source software. Such a beautiful thing.

Me: you’ll allow us time to contribute then, right?

My employer: Aah, the beauty of untouchable things

Sorting mail sounds like a task from another age.

That implies that even Montreal doesn’t go below 50% car use. I honestly didn’t expect that. Everyone knows it’s dumb to try to even get a car into the island.

I didn’t even know they allowed priestesses. Sounds like good news to me!

I feel like GOG would be more popular if their client were better. Maybe more usable with a controller too?

And something that would help competition in the game launcher space in particular would be if OSes had great built-in controller support (and controller OS navigation) so we wouldn’t have to rely on Steam for it.

The bad part isn’t the number of votes. That’s barely relevant.

The bad part is what happens when the budget bill doesn’t pass. There are two valid possibilities:

• The previous year’s budget is provisionally renewed as-is until an agreement is reached
• The non-passing of the bill acts as a vote of no confidence against the government and elections are held. In the mean time, the previous year’s budget is provisionally renewed as-is.

Shutting down funding for government services is an incredibly dumb way to handle it.

You think they can’t redirect their ludicrous police forces (including ICE) to brutalize millions? Don’t underestimate fascism.

What the fuck.

If I’m feeling energetic and I really hurry and I don’t need to wash my hair I can do 20.

Usually takes me 30+. And that’s just the shower part.

I don’t understand how a significantly faster shower is possible.

The soot.

Right. That’d be a nice bonus.

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away

Being able to stop time. Unlimited sleep.

Oh I don’t even mind the algorithm. It’s just so full of bugs.

The app is decent.

That’s honestly 90% of it. If Reddit hadn’t programmed their app and mobile website with their feet, I’d probably still be over there.
