allurbase··on Moving to zsh (2019)
Why is zsh forced on users anyway? Are there known issues with bash? I’m sure there are - anyone have a link?

allurbase··on Steve Wozniak: Steve Jobs wasn’t a natural-born leader
I wanted to point out (and tag along with) the idea that Steve Jobs was an incredible speaker.

One example that comes to mind: https://youtu.be/oNC8LEj5X4U

Steve Jobs and his teams made a lot of the right decisions. It’s evident in the way that Steve Jobs can talk about topics like what is covered above, topics that we take for granted today and have accepted into our lives. Jobs would talk effortlessly in a matter-of-fact manner, years and sometimes a full decade before the ideas had matured. It’s really incredible to look back at in retrospect.

Great article. Disgusting behavior. Seems like the sort of experience that sticks with you for years.

Another grandiose self important reflective “memoir” preaching All Of The Mistakes I Learned From ™

Pretty much falls in line neatly with the All Of My Hard Work linkedin posts

allurbase··on Efficiency Is the Enemy
Most of the time the “solutions” to quantifying efficient production of programmers is, for the best of us, a gradual descent into frequent focus destroying forms of micromanagement - and for the worst of us this is a welcomed phenomenon. If you want to do your work, it sucks. If you don’t actually want to do your work, it’s great.

For non programmers, of course, the idea that someone valuable is doing something that they have no control over is absolutely terrifying.
