Point-in-time... and go!
As a technologist and a software developer, I think a lot about the current state of a system, the history of a system, and how to understand what exactly a system looked like at a particular point-in-time. That’s important because without this understanding you can’t isolate and troubleshoot technical problems based on the impact of changes made to the system.
So naturally, when thinking about…

Quality-of-Work, or Quality-of-Life...
Quality-of-Work, or Quality-of-Life…
People tend to frame work-life balance discussions as being about quality-of-life. I think that’s a mistake.

It’s been a long time since I’ve typed “java -version” at the command line. And a long time since I’ve thought about using the JDK. It’s also been a long time since I’ve picked up a new programming language which is on the cutting edge.
Over the years I’ve done significant work in:
C#
Java
Visual Basic
VBScript
PowerShell
T-SQL
JavaScript
and a weird “3GL” language called Thoroughbred BASIC that…

Programmer Mind-Sync
It’s always a little unsettling trying to sync minds with another programmer at the office. Maybe if I did it more often I would get past that initial shrinking back a little easier.
Don’t get me wrong – when given the choice I pretty much always prefer…

In anticipation of a warm beverage and breakfast
Today it’s a cold and icy rainy day, and I’m on the train from New Jersey to Long Island, via Manhattan. I decided to do that instead of driving since I’m tired and don’t feel like driving in the rain.
Reading the news, I see that New York City has a new…

"Three thousand years ago I had a disagreement with Zeus about the Trojan War, and he’s been harassing me ever since." “You were alive three thousand years ago?” “All of us were.”
"I run a senior support group in the neighborhood." “What would you say is one thing that seniors need most?” “Just human connection, really.” “Can you describe a benefit of human connection?” “Well, we had one elderly lady living alone awhile back, and she got taken in by a scammer who convinced her to give away all her money. If she’d had someone else to talk to, and been more tied into the community, that probably could have been prevented.”

Recently 37signals published an article titled Some advice from Jeff Bezos. This wasn’t your usual advice, and I found it interesting to read and how familiar it felt as I read each next line. The post was all about “changing your mind”. The way I would describe the overall theme, is…

If Amazon just gave away Kindles, I think they’d make a boatload of money on all the impulse buys of books and magazines.
