I totally expected this to be a joke where the site was blank.

I haven't worked with C++ for years, and it's nice to see there really has been some progress improving some of the C++ parts.

Lamy 2000 is so amazingly smooth. I really like having the piston fill, instead of cartridges and adapters. There's more ink, and it's more reliable with less fuss and mess.

Anyone have an example of taking a low functioning team to a high functioning one? Building trust, changing culture.

It's one thing to just say "here's the ideal". And another to say if you're in a sub-optimal place, "just leave."

But how to change a poor habit place into a good habit place.

I don't think bad habits really go away, they get drowned out by the better habits. I think the same is true of teams. But, IMHE, improvement has been hard to come by.

I'd love to hear your stories.

I'd like to see some approval test infrastructure here as well, q.v. https://approvaltests.com/

Being able to have a customer accept what the output looks like and then listening to when the page changes would be great for giving non-technical people control over passing tests.

Can't they just charge a lot more? Like $10million per ad?

It's a surcharge to avoid political ads, but hey Mr. Bloomberg, if you need to get attention... we will collect your money.

What would they do with this extra money? Fund open source foundations?

...wait... is $10Million too low? Is there that much money in politics?

Reading this essay made me think of this book that I recently read: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1319.The_War_of_Art

How much of the obstacles that we face are there just to 'resist' the shining light we each could bring into the world? Or the work we were meant to do?

This book changed how I parent: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/6162649-healing-stori...

The ability to modify behavior by singing a couplet from a story I read -- no raising of voices, or wagging of fingers -- was revelatory.

It's from the waldorf educational tradition.
