Amazon's (wild) new return-to-office policy is making it … more difficult to come to an agreement about me moving to Norway in June. Which means that come summer I may be looking for a Rust job in Europe! If you have an opportunity that may be relevant (🧵), reach out!

One of the things I occasionally get paid to do by companies/execs is to tell them why everything seemed to SUDDENLY go wrong, and subs/readers dropped like a stone.

The curvature of your fingers makes you think you’re touching higher up the the screen than you are. So, touches are warped to account for this. That’s why—to this day—it’s hard to target taps when you hold your phone upside down.

This is a very accurate description of 2020. At least my 2020

"No code" sounds like "we will represent complex logical operations without a symbolic representation." I expect it to result things that are, in fact, symbolic representations (so code) but awkwardly obscured enough to not look like code, just like the last n attempts at this.

I know I keep making this same point over and over, but the programming facilities we have for a single computer are pretty great, and the ones we have available at the level of distributed systems are just bizarre and terrible.

i‘m sitting here trying to rework my column for @aus_business, but I can’t - it’s blown. @JoshFrydenberg has announced everything I wrote earlier that he should do, including supporting self-employed and casuals: $130B. Fantastic work.
