Absolutely love the 3 count heuristic. And regarding all the rules - learn them like a pro so you can break them like an artist.

Grey beard taught me "Don't abstract something until you're doing it for the 3rd time." Dude was right.

I'd instead use the (Spotify, not SAFe) release train. Release whatever you have every two days. If you don't think it's ready, hide it behind a temporary feature flag.


Basically "ask AI" is equal to "what does the internet think about this on average"

People have too inflated sense of what it means to "ask an AI" about something. The AI are language models trained basically by imitation on data from human labelers. Instead of the mysticism of "asking an AI", think of it more as "asking the average data labeler" on the…

LLMs enable modern day web apps development in C/C++. Should you do that though?


Surprising how little teams that claim to be agile understand this:

Am I the only one thinking that if a product can be built and scaled in a weekend then it doesn't have any moat and will be replaced/fractured in another weekend?


How is it that only countries that never experienced a socialist government toy with socialism?

So I tried to build a tech company from Norway and here’s what happened: 1. Two years of building without almost any money/funding, better part of a year without salary 2. Raise VC and become one of Norway’s first unicorns 3. Face unrealized gains wealth tax bill of many x my…

Give someone state and they'll have a bug one day, but teach them how to represent state in two separate locations that have to be kept in sync and they'll have bugs for a lifetime
