The trouble I have is assuming that one can measure "managerial performance." Measuring worker performance is straightforward, after all, they do the work.

boo friken hoo!

These posts are ironic.

Growing up in housing projects I had a hard time realizing how many people internalized even the most egregious stereotypes as fact.

Spent a lot of time in gyms with a lot of hypertrophied chest, shoulder and arms walking on crane legs.

Thinks we don't really know how to measure each other when it comes to it.

Never met a carpenter who didn't complain about the prior carpenter's work.

Finds there's a lot of ways to describe things and some say more than they are designed and often leave a bitter aftertaste.

Define better.

Q.E.D.

Actually these comments are embarrassing to me as a developer because they support the conclusion that far too many of us have the tendency to believe our own publicity. If everyone is a Randy Moss I'm beginning to wonder who is paying attention to the fundamentals and moving forward.

It gave me much need pause to reflect and recognize how fortunate I am to have found a career I can be passionate about. That people I generally don't think about could possibly be more interesting and have more to teach me than most of my associates. I also learned that having the latest iPhone (when the previous one didn't break) marks you not as discriminating and fashionable but as easily manipulated.

Many do and in very creative ways. The real problem your not factoring in is the role of predators and their affects on survival strategies.

I think there's something to not giving handouts. I'd prefer a hand. The strange thing is that we look at the poor as if we are a meritocracy. the general distribution of talent, intelligence and ability is likely to be statistically the same for all classes. And since there are more poor people there should be more success stories. Under a meritocracy there would me more processes in place that reached out to the "underprivileged." But what we see is a war on drugs...

Leaving five dollars laying around with friends over strikes at a crucial difference in that being poor means living outside of the generally accepted rule of law that most take for granted. The difference between a housing project or rural tract in the US and other nations is largely one of degree and similar in character to living in a war zone.
