Solving the Engineering Strategy crisis.

from Irrational Exuberance [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
These are speaking notes for my October 4th, QCon talk in San Francisco. Slides for this talk. Over the course of my career, I’ve frequently heard from colleagues, team members and random internet strangers with the same frustration: the company doesn’t have an Engineering...

Don't Disrupt Things; Fix Them

from Yale E360 [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
People talk about disrupting industries when those industries appear to be in a stable but inefficient state. For example, the taxicab industry: there was little innovation going on in it, and it was stable, but it seemed like it was far from ideal. Along came Uber, intent to...

The Illusion of Free Will

from Alex MacCaw [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
One of the most difficult concepts to grasp is the idea that free will, the cornerstone of our human experience, might be nothing more than an illusion.

My Python snippet for walking a file tree

from alexwlchan [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
I write a lot of one-use Python scripts for quick analysis or cleaning something up on my disk, and they often involve iterating over a folder full of files. The key function for doing this is os.walk in the standard library, but it’s not quite what I want, so I have a wrapper...

I saw Tim Hecker at Pioneer Works, and was astounded by the opener, Mizu. Bought the album as soon as I got home. It is, crudely explained, like if Zoë Keating dialed up the synths and pedals and rhythm, and it was also a remarkable live show. Distant Intervals by MIZU Reading I...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
