@Catwoman69y2k I've concluded that much of the "join xyz platform for updates" mentality comes from the one-two punch of both web browsers ditching RSS and Atom and Google ditching Google Reader.

Say a free software project maintainer writes a development blog. The audience may or may not already have an RSS reader installed. This means the project maintainer might feel responsible for recommending a reader application for all 7 major platforms (Windows, macOS, desktop Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, Firefox extension). Otherwise, people will land on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparis and experience analysis paralysis.

I guess one disadvantage of protocols is that platforms have tended to do better at landing pages than protocols. Is there a page to which a blogger can refer visitors who have never used RSS before?

💻🤔 "Should I choose Ada, SPARK, or Rust over C/C++?" As if anyone in 2024 really needs more reasons to procrastinate! 🕰️ Just pick one, make a TikTok about it, and call it a day. 😂

New comic! 🚨 White smoke has appeared! A decision has been made!
…She finally took her turn. 😅 #AnalysisParalysis

You can read this week's blog post at:
semicoop.com/comic/holy-smokes

Panel 1: Rachel sits at a table playing a Cooper Island (a complex board game), looking overwhelmed. She says, “Hmmmm. So many options.” Next to her, an orange cat named Apollo naps peacefully.

Panel 2: Heinze and a woman sit on a couch and both are looking up at the sky. The woman, looking concerned, asks, “How long do you think it’s going to take?” Heinze replies, “We’ll have to wait and see.”

Panel 3: A rooftop scene with a pigeon perched beside a chimney. Black smoke rises from the chimney.

Panel 4: The black smoke thickens dramatically into a dense cloud with a cartoonish face, while the pigeon looks on, puzzled.

Panel 5: White smoke finally emerges from the chimney. From below, voices say: “Ah, finally! She finished her turn!”

I have ADHD and Autism. I suffer from executive dysfunction and severe social anxiety.
I'm taking a week off from work so I can finally talk to the insurance about fixing our basement that flooded in January 2024. It's been torn up and unusable since they ripped up the carpet, tore out the lower half of the drywall, and drained all the water over a year ago.
Our cats have been living in our sunroom.
We haven't watched TV because the wall where we mounted it is gone.
It's an urgent need but I have to take a week off in order to push through the multiple unscripted conversations it will take, to have the energy to let strangers into our house.
I am disabled.
I am.
So why do I keep thinking I'm broken?
Why do I tell myself to "try harder"?
Why do I feel like a failure as a wife, cat mom, and home keeper?
So much needs to be done and I just can't.
I can't.
And that's hard to admit.
It has to get done. Before my wife became disabled, we managed better. We were still not getting it all done, but we split duties. We supported each other.
Now she can't do what she used to. I understand that. I afford her a great deal of grace, kindness, and understanding.
She understands my limitations and doesn't nag or complain or fret.
I can't figure out how to give myself the same consideration.
"She deserves better."
"I should do better."
"I deserve better."
We all deserve better, especially right now.
We deserve better, but we have to settle for what we have.

Left unchecked, analysis paralysis limits our progress, creates risk, and delays the achievement of critical objectives.

There’s a delivery delay for the aida cloth I ordered, so instead of stitching, I’m still on my phone, favoriting patterns

All I really wanted was something to do besides doom scrolling and instead the project I initially wanted to make has changed about 1000 times and I’m starting to freak out about the thing I wanted to do so I wouldn’t freak out

Car shopping online. #analysisparalysis ! I hate trying to decide on these type things. I always find negatives that I fixate on regardless of what I begin to consider.

for the last 3+ weeks i’ve been working with a self-wielded sword of damocles at my own throat, because i could not stand the way the company i work for was treating its developers.

today i feel redeemed. the powers that be finally seem to recognize from whence their powers derive (hint: it’s devs) and are starting to come around to how to work with us.

bottom line is: align yourself with the people who want to #GetShitDone, and not the people in love with #AnalysisParalysis.

but heck, #ymmv

Je viens de démarrer le podcast de 2h #analysisparalysis sur les #j2s. Très sympa. Ça serait cool de mettre la liste des jeux évoqués ds ma description pr les retrouver plus facilement. Par exemple ds l épisode 1, comment s appelle ce jeu de dés avec une reine ?

The great data deluge is here – marketers beware of ! B2B organizations are being told to be data driven from all angles. But are PR & marketing pros getting blinded by leading to decision paralysis? bit.ly/PR_TLP_0507

make predictions of costs/timelines. They want the implementers to confirm the accuracy of those predictions.

"We predict this work would take 4 months, will it?"

"Maybe, but I need more detailed requirements."

…repeat

Meanwhile, the work is delayed.
