Decision matrices as a thinking tool

from Roberto's blog [alt+shift+b] in startups

Some decisions require comparing multiple options where it’s not immediately apparent which is best. One common way of doing that is to list the pros and cons of each option. For example, option A lists low latency as a pro, while option B lists high throughput as a pro. But do you know what throughput option A provides? Not being explicit makes it easy to make assumptions and ignore crucial comparisons.

Conquer dev environments with Nix

I regularly use different devices with different OSs, such as a MacBook, a Windows desktop with WSL, a couple of Raspberry PIs, and so on.

AI, tools and transformation

It’s very tempting to imagine that AI turns everyone into a tool-builder - now everyone can just ask the model to make the software they need, and apps as we know them are dead. I think that misunderstands how most people think and where software actually comes from, and more importantly, it isn’t a path to change how companies actually work.
