A lot of very smart people work in strange ways / with a lot of quirks (e.g. contemplating for hours and appearing to do nothing, while then suddenly having 100x output burst). This usually makes them not a great fit for traditional corporate world, where you often have to fake being busy & work around fixed structures. The great thing about small teams working in a flexible structure with high autonomy is that you get to witness these quirks manifest into greatness, time and time again. Many genuinely productive people are misunderstood because their perceived methods many not ‘look’ like hard work from the outside. Organizations that are able to attract these people at scale & are able to create a culture in which they can flourish, have immense potential for innovation / technological breakthroughs (think OpenAI, SpaceX, ...)

Movie idea: in the future humans will have forgotten how to code and every server function is just a LLM call, which leads to every website taking 10 seconds to load and critical infrastructure incl. bank transfers having a 20-30% failure rate

@paulmichaeldev it's funny how in tech you can often win by just not changing your product while all others make theirs actively worse because PMs need promotions

@csanyi_andras @natemcgrady I first read it when I was ~16 and then again a few years ago! Definitely worth the reread

@normerector let's go!

Burnout isn't just about how hard you're working - it's about how much control you feel over your work. Losing agency drains you faster than the effort itself.

@x_borys That’s a shame, I’ll see how it goes

Freshly baked shortbreads taste better when it’s snowing outside

@554889e5 That's really interesting! I met an old friend recently, which made me think about this. Just yesterday, I read a passage from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics that reiterated a similar idea

The empire strikes back

@showerskittles direct democracy via twitter polls

@DanielleMorrill I also think 2025 will be the year software takes off that you can modify to exactly fit your existing internal processes – rather than trying to make your team adapt to the tools that exist (which often leads to a lot of time / energy wasted)
