Misleading role description! - They only search for an onsite/hybrid role as they have an office starting this month (but their comment lists remote, too) and “want” to work there. - Disappointing: CEO [name redacted] finds it for some reason important to answer from a generic jobs address hiding his name, similarly attributing the office policy to the team. — Lack of ownership of management. But might fit to the automotive industry’s culture.

The letter says that you violated section 3.2(f) of the ADP agreement. [corrected the section no.]

Years ago I ditched Celery in favour of using BLPOP with redis. It was multiple times faster than Celery. Is this still the case today? So with vanilla Redis you need less workers for same throughput; if you need more throughput, spawn multiple workers.

So, which carmaker does surprise you pleasantly nowadays?

To which extent was the implementation in C# benefitting off both the clarified requirements (so the Rust experience could be seen more as prototyping mixed with production)? Was it actually in major parts just a major refactor in a different language (admittedly with much more proven elements)?

I challenge this: How do you measure processing time? From first customer interaction? Or from all input data are present? I assume in most situations they are not present upfront. Therefore it’s a tedious back and forth. Sure, that compounds with the roundtrip time. Digitisation is a trap because it doesn’t change the paradigm to full-kit upfront necessarily. Digitisation can be a nice entry-point to this, but unfortunately digitising data does not necessarily introduce the full-kit.

The system needs to be designed in a different way: “We guarantee processing within x hours (weekdays) from the point you’ve provided us a full-kit.”

This, in turn, requires thinking backwards from the result through all steps, resulting in a definition of what a full-kit entails. Of course this requires a different (system) thinking which is contradicted by the rigid hierarchy (and no, doing away with the hierarchy isn’t a solution either).

Work force would not be busy 80% of their time = capacity to go back and forth to figure what’s missing and switch around cases. When starting with full-kit, 80% of their wasted time becomes processing time. In turn, their throughput was 20%, it goes up to 100%, or x5.

We were searching for a long-lasting washing machine 2 years ago. We asked local electrician shops with their classic Miele sign. Not one but many were recommending us AGAINST Miele due to recent quality problems. One electrician went with us to the models he had in-store. They changed the door now from metal to plastic. While Miele is bragging about their internal tests “our machines are tested to hold up against usage for up to 20 years”, they offer you a meagre 2 years warranty (that is compulsory in Germany). Well, guys, if you brag about your reliability, why can’t you even offer a 3 (!) year warranty for no additional cost if your product cost up to twice the price of a BSH device. “Well, you can purchase warranty extension for additional cost.” FU. …and recently Miele has problems selling their stuff for quality problems and they try to compensate for that by cutting costs by moving production out from Germany.

There is a market for old Miele washing machines. If they get defect, it’s usually shock absorbers or other easily repairable parts. Once repaired they last long. Of course with the higher electricity & water consumption.

Dishwashers… My father in law had rust issue with their dish rack of their Miele dish washer. The replacement part cost > 50% of a new dish washer. So he went with a a new Miele dish washer. Result: The new dish washer uses less water to save water. How does it work with less water? Doubling the runtime. Doubling the runtime doubles the wear and tear of parts. Assuming still same quality parts, the dish washer’s life time is halved. He should have been better off with replacing the dish rack.

I’ve turned some time ago a build and deploy script (single production server) some bash scripts into Haskell using Turtle [1]. What I enjoyed was the ability to reduce redundancies significantly. It was significantly shorter code afterwards.

Pauses. I am experimenting with basic scheme of 25 mins focus and then 5 mins pause. It is mind blowing how it lowers frustration and sort of ensures that I start work only on a clear task which I often tend to loose to easily. The biggest surprise are the pauses (no, no email checking or web browsing; get up and move around). While formerly I experienced it that I don't have enough time to do what I want to do, I experience just the opposite of it during pauses. Now, what do I do in this time? Wow. That's new. But also hard to stick to it. But there is more to it, the rules and principles that go along with it.

How does it compare to Janet https://janet-lang.org/ ?

Well, I'd be not too much surprised if it's an external factor like sun cycle, earth magnetism or any other natural rhythm. Did they exclude that? How, if?

TL;DR your life happens within a field of informed movement/perception/relation that determines which social capabilities you have and which not.

As we grow up as a baby, our first connections to the world are based on touch. The skin is the interface between the world and ourself. How the world touches us, informs in our motor system a picture of the world. Over time the cutaneous interactions (movement qualities) modulate into mimics, later into speech (where we still find it as characteristics of our voice).

Now, assume there is a circular process (Gestaltkreis) of your motor system. It constantly sparks a movement intention. First it needs to be executed. Then it needs to be perceived: Has it been executed? For both phases, the body needs to convey signals. As the motor system only sparks a movement intention until it receives the full perception of the executed movement, sparking of the movement intention means that the trains are not yet developed to the extent required. "What fires together, wires together" / Neurobiotaxis may play a role here. Movement essentially becomes perception. And your body is your compiler for that. The motor system basically takes care for development of the trains in your body.

Now, there are two considerations: 1. You can relate to others to the degree your body is integrated internally (inner world connectivity ≈ inner to outer world connectivity) 2. The circular process undergoes biological phases: In different phases, different parts of your body grow; which brings your body out of balance (while you move). The motor's core intention is to develop your ability to maintain your balance with different movements. That is a process after you have attained the ability to run. Those different phases require different sensory inputs. Our parents (society) are usually not able to provide that (as they themselves did not receive it). So, you might end up with social capabilities of a disturbed child as an adult. The movement qualities show for example how you will act in group settings, in which kind of situations, etc.

There might be an approach [1] (with quite some history but ironically yet to be validated empirically) that makes that circular process visible: It allows the movement intention to become visible to a trained facilitator. The facilitator then verbalises the intention - which is not accessible to the subject - to the subject. The verbalised intention is basically a new movement possibility / way to perceive the subject had not on his internal movement world map. While the subject tries out the movement possibility, this also happens in the circular process. That means, perception of the movement of the body is continuously transmitted to the motor system. And as mentioned earlier, once the perceived executed movement is equivalent to the forecast of the executed movement intention, the sent out movement intention changes. The Bewegungsgestalt has irreversibly evolved. And this evolution follows a biologically predetermined sequence (you know in advance what the next movement intention will be once the current has been fulfilled). And with the changed Bewegungsgestalt, the attained way to move and to perceive, we are able to relate differently to the world - and the world is able to relate differently to us. That makes sense to me, as we evolve our internal connections, we evolve the connections to the outer world.

As this is related to fascia, you might be interested in the Roll Model by Jill Miller, also the coop of her with Thomas Myers Roll the Anatomy Trains online course.

Yes, I see the value of mental efforts of improving your social skills by applying communication technique A or trick B. However, if it holds true that any of this effort happens within the context of your movement/perception/relation field, it is naturally limited by the stage the Bewegungsgestalt has evolved into.
