james305··on Powerful people feel, express less gratitude
The lack of gratitude probably correlates well with the increase in narcissism in most high-level leaders. https://hbr.org/2004/01/narcissistic-leaders-the-incredible-...

james305··on Why Go Is Not Good
Go seems to be a favorite language to hate, and yet, there's a lot of awesome software in the world because of it. It's simply and lack of features was intentional; not a design flaw. It was built by some of the premier computer scientists of our age not for lacking of knowledge of modern language features but intentionally avoiding complexity.

Choose Rust and C++ for building your next OS, but Go is great when I need to build a web service that's fast enough and hire a team that may not know the language walking in the door but can be productive quickly.

james305··on Therapy patients blackmailed for cash after clinic data breach
Agree on this point. Some computers just should not be internet connected. Security is the wild west right now and isn't going to be fixed any time soon.
james305··on Doctor advises only using soap on your hands and nowhere else
"Hamblin started to notice that he smelled less pleasant when stressed." I guess I just worked with a bunch a stressed people..
james305··on Doctor advises only using soap on your hands and nowhere else
Just water or is there some soap proxy?
james305··on Google’s top search result is Google
Who cares? Are they a non-profit? People who are offended by this have never run a business.
james305··on Doctor advises only using soap on your hands and nowhere else
Sorry for folks with eczema, but maybe it's about the soap you're using versus not using soap. I've had the misfortune of working with people who thought showering was optional and it's not pleasant. So unless you want to offend others and be referred to as the stinky co-worker please wash.
james305··on H-1B: Government issues first-ever official estimate of visa population in U.S.
This is a ridiculous statement. Intel, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Apple were all founded by US Citizens.
james305··on Twitter prepares for cull of inactive users
CCPA is probably at least part of the reason behind this. It takes effect on Jan 1. The article mentions users not being about to accept their privacy policy.
james305··on OKRs Aren't Going to Fix Your Communication Issues
John Doerr's book references Intel and Google heavily to gain credibility for the OKR methodology. Can someone from either of those organizations chime in with their experience?
