Yes definitely but i had to learn this through seeing it :)

Sry i don't think i get the context?

I do combine this with other data i read of course.

We do have more data available than just what one farmer experiences.

Nonetheless, what is a good response to it?

I don't have the feeling that just ignoring it or not doing anything is a good approach.

It simplifies procrastination and throws in happiness with procrastination and workaholic.

You also assume your worldview. When i hear your digital nomade lifestyle i'm not envy it and i'm not connecting to your worldview.

Procrastination doesn't mean 'not working'. Workaholic doesn't mean 'unhappy'.

In germany we have a drought right now. I never assumed that we in germany get water issues.

Now farmers said things like 'i have never seen so little water at this time of year in the 30 years im a farmer'.

I don't have the feeling we are recognizing the elephant in the room.

My personal take on this is to buy a farm, buy water reserve tanks, have a little garden and trying to become independend. Which is not a bad plan in general as it helps to cut costs down anyway if you do it smart enough. Its not that i get money when i put it in the bank and corona showed how volatile shares can be.

Really?

As far as i know intel has/had plenty of reserves and is still selling good.

The Demand in general is very high.

Doyou have any numbers?

huh?

A weird blog post becomes an ad for a book?

Whatever this example should demonstrate, it doesn't make me curious about the book.

I had to learn this as well and realized this in my last company that you can build something which already exists.

Mentally speaking: I have optimized my thinking on not doing things twice, not being wasteful, lean, reusing components etc.

If it is solved, there is little reason why i would/should solve it again and yes from a pure thinking perspective, it would make sense to pool all resources together to have one car brand.

The same with a Toaster. Make one good Toaster, make it slightly configurable so you have choices in color and thats it.

This type of efficient thinking is why i get paid.

It is still a hard balance to strike between "In Iran they still hang you on a car crane" vs. "My circle of people is accepting and moved along already a few years ago".

Thats a great depiction of the power of one person with proper knowledge!

Get a little bit of money (in comparision to all those shiny great things), build it, wing it and provide a huge benefit :)

While it sounds very interesting in the beginning with a ton of things, i would argue that at the end of the day, people stoped carring.

You can, for example, see whatever people are earning in Sweden.

As soon as it is allowed and possible, things like this just become a novelty.

There was one guy having data on how often he pleasured himself. First thought 'oh interesting' second thought 'mh okay so what'.

So i introduced Code Review in our Project after i joined it.

The other 2 senior people never came up with the idea of introducing it.

One of them is still putting Tickets in Review which still lack basic quality expectations.

My biggest / most used quality right now is persistence and pointing out the same misstakes/issues over weeks and month...

And don't get me wrong, there are only two options to this: 1. Get your collegues up to speed and be persistent 2. Search for a new Team

The obvious choice of not caring doesn't work for me.

Fair enough.

Nonethless i'm still / always surprised to see religion in context of IT/programming.

That looks like much more effort then the default behaviour of git commit to open your editor.

It is not a lot of work to write them.

I use them for - Tracking work on specific jira tickets - Giving myself a simple/quick overview on what was done - Tracking down bugs by trying to understand if that code is doing what it should do (bug vs. on purpose) - If i need to revert something, i revert a git commit. might just happend once a year but if required its fundamental

I'm also always slightly surprised about discussions from this topic: Its a nobrainer to just do it.

Its cumbersome if you have to explain to colleges, who are working with code for longer then a few month, why you should just write proper git commits.

It is like 'i'm allowed to write code which does a lot if things but pls exlpain to me again how i write a proper git commit message' :(
