You don't have to be as special, or have as much initial investment, to get moving.

Unpopular opinion: the fastest way to $100k/mo is with a service business, not a SaaS

It's going to get weird.

@_SamWilsn_ @MicahZoltu Native targets and JavaScript, too. The multiplatform targets (with common codebases in the overlap and platform-agnostic interfaces), relatively elegant multithreading with coroutines, and the fact that it drove Java out of complacency are worth a tier. :)

@mikkopiippo This is a privileged view, to be certain, but I prefer when that's not strictly a career decision. I was lucky to be able to study philosophy, already having tech skills. Doing so made me a better thinker and enhanced my love of data, dev patterns and careful reasoning.

@tgwilson DSM 5 has loose enough diagnostic criteria for that to point to a great many things. DSM 6 should have one for obsessive patch compulsion. Key criteria include this and how many Git branches one has with varying attempts to optimally resolve Node dependencies.

@Jeff_Baumgarten @leelasrin Yes, thank you!

[Colin Temple @truthfunctional]

@AdamSinger Yes. Genius frequently comes with some insanity; it would still be prudent to remember that insanity does not imply genius.

The https://t.co/Fou42obRfL principle: too many choices is no choice at all. Many backlogs look a lot like Match search results.

@mikkopiippo Depends. Which ocean? What pond? Need more data. 😁

[Colin Temple @truthfunctional]

@SimoAhava @ReaktorNow Much yes. Leadership jobs are mostly roles in service of those you lead. (And that mindset benefits the organization far more than short-term thinking about service to the org itself. Organizations are organized people.)

[Colin Temple @truthfunctional]

@mikkopiippo There's enough data out there that is and can be collected respectfully to not bother with this, even if you figured out some iron-clad justification for it.

[Colin Temple @truthfunctional]

@GainsightHQ We need to talk about your customer sentiment analysis, because you have clearly figured out something hard. 😄

Quality is an aspect of culture that must infuse the organization. Standardized mandated process wont get you that. You need people at the top who instill a culture of quality. It ultimately comes down to personal values. Teams can realize quality in ways that make sense to them.

next time you are about to explain something to someone who knows more about it than you, try taking a cue from the whales and not speaking for your entire life

[Colin Temple @truthfunctional]

@allenholub Me neither. But it's a thing. 😄
