I enjoy working in the agriculture, crop science, music, and nutrition (for either humans or animals) domains. Currently an engineering manager, but at heart a software engineer, mainly Clojure, but many other tools & languages too.

On other ways to commute: You assume that people who commute by car do so because they want to, instead of going by train. I don't think that is the case.

On people who refused to get a good WFH setup (e.g., WiFi): I bet those are terrible people to work with in the office, too.

& I agree with your last point.

Yes, I would say so, nice observation. I also think that many "idea guys" are doing the performative role of "the leader", i.e. the idea guys doing the corporate/business drag of the "thought leader".

In the case of Linus Torvalds and others like Guido van Rossum, I think is fine to consider them leaders, because they are leading their projects - to a certain extent these projects are not theirs (only) anymore, nonetheless they IMO they can claim or get the leader title.

I agree, and my "favorite" title is Thought Leader.

In my experience, people who call themself leaders, are often not performing very well in their main role, which usually happens to that of a people manager.

IMO the Zuck just gave Elon a lesson on how to be a grownup CEO.

I am wondering if it has to do with chip shortages and supply chain issues, due to that I can imagine that the current offering became unsustainable.
