My colleague Julius

ploum.net/2024-12-23-julius-en.html

A story of a Julius who lacks knowledge but has good charisma. There's a lot to learn from such Julii.

Когда я работал в Совкомбанке, пришлось чуток поработать с аналитиком Э. Он мне сразу не понравился. Потом он ушёл, раньше меня. Статья помогла понять, что с ним было не так. Наверное он был таким Юлием.

Но очень может быть, что я неправ, и у меня просто не было возможности увидеть хард скиллы этого аналитика. В конце концов, мы пересеклись только на одном низкоприоритетном проекте.

2024-03-02 Oddµ themes

alexschroeder.ch/view/2024-03-02-oddmu-themes

Alex got inspired by chat bubbles and considered adding them to Oddμ. Mentions something called Gibberish, which I will bookmark next

Chat bubbles are cool.

I told him he would need a special syntax for that and he got scared. He also liked a quote of mine: “it’s impossible to keep a publishing system pure Markdown”.

Is techno-clutter ruining your life?

cheapskatesguide.org/articles/techno-clutter-farnell.html

Psychologically, hoarding behaviour is rooted in fear, particularly of deprivation, or uncontrolled change, perhaps with unresolved loss or attachment to old patterns as a deeper cause. Hoarders can't move on. They cannot select what to throw out, because their value judgements are disrupted.
