Curious why you needed surgery on your elbows. Was it lifting related?

Same with Churchill. He would arrange for his afternoon nap and bath even when visiting other countries

In the work rules book about google, Bock claims (apparently using a lot of real data from google) that employee performance follows a power law distribution.

The winds of war and war and remembrance books (or audio books) are a pretty good way to get a feel for ww2. They're historically accurate fiction and offer a lot of long-form detail and context (at least from the US/allies side of things)

Where's the reply from Kahneman?

Really great explanation, thanks. I've definitely felt a bit silly spinning up an entire react project for a "mildly dynamic" site

Curious what you think of dashlane. Personally I find 1pw UI patterns a bit annoying and dashlane somewhat better

This approach is definitely possible with a good web-based git IDE. We use gitlab's webIDE and have taught a few very non-technical (even temporary) employees how to do simple commits of markdown files (the trick here is high visibility into their commits -slack messages- and safeguards to make sure important things don't go live via CI too soon). There's a number of rough edges to sort out but this is vastly simpler, faster, more flexible etc for many situations (and amazing to not be using jira or wordpress :) )

I see MMR in here a couple times. Do you mean MRR? Edit: Awesome write up!

My wife and I are (slowly) building an ios app to track daily family memories (impetus was having our son in 2019). We got this idea from an article long ago where the author used a spreadsheet to capture small notes of daily family life and especially note any child milestones. The app is close to being usable daily (each parent can add a note, separate field for milestone, edit, and list recent days) but it's ugly as sin. It's written in swift/swiftui with a go backend (also an older react web version exists if anyone was interested working on that). Totally chill project with no expectation of commercial viability
