Oh nice - season 6 of Bosch is here - that's my weekend viewing taken care of...! :) And I absolutely love @welliver_titus@twitter.com as Bosch. The portrayal is gold.

I started building an app for a thing last night. Discovered the framework didn't do a thing I wanted. Next thing I've written the thing and PR'ed it. Still haven't started the app.

Software engineers who think they're only responsible for good engineering and blame the product team for product failures are McKinsey Americans.

Strangely, and doubly strangely since I am not likely to be on a plane anytime soon, I've been thinking about my flying coping mechanisms. One I can recommend trying is ATC videos on YT. Hearing how calm folks are when things go wrong makes me weirdly calmer about flying.

Did previous civilizations deal with whiners like this?

"Man, we've gotta open the gates."
"We've been through this, Phil. The Mongols are still outside."
"But I've gotta harvest my turnips"
"MONGOLS"
"Ugh. But we've been in here or WEEKS."
"That's how sieges work, Phil."

I have a rule of thumb on sales emails. I am okay if you send a follow-up to an email to which I did not respond. If you send me a 3rd, 4th, or even 5th email after I have failed to respond then you go into my black list folder and I'm never doing business with you.
