A Commodore 64 and Zero Adult Supervision

Daily writing promptWrite about your first computer.View all responses Here’s the thing about my first computer. It didn’t coddle me. It didn’t autocomplete my thoughts or ask how I was feeling today. It sat there like a beige brick with delusions of grandeur and dared me to figure it out. It was a Commodore 64. Used. Already scarred. Already suspicious of me. Perfect. I was 13, which is exactly the right age to be given something powerful with no instructions and just enough danger […]

YouTube’s Appeal Decision Is In: My Inactive Manager Channel Stays Banned—And It’s Complete Bullshit

It's been less than five hours since I woke up to discover my YouTube channels had been terminated overnight, and I've already received YouTube's appeal decision. Spoiler alert: it's not good news. In fact, it's exactly the kind of generic, nonsensical response that proves YouTube's moderation system is running on autopilot with zero human oversight. Let me walk you through what happened today, because the timeline alone shows how broken this entire process is. The Timeline of This […]

Từng gặp khó khăn khi viết email công việc – lúc thì quá gay gắt, lúc lại như đang xin lỗi vì… thở. Mình muốn có công cụ giúp đánh giá cảm xúc trong văn bản, không chỉ sửa lỗi chính tả. Hóa ra nhiều người cũng vậy: dù thông minh, ý tưởng hay nhưng truyền đạt không rõ, mọi thứ trở nên vô nghĩa. Giải quyết vấn đề cá nhân, mình nhận ra: nếu bạn thấy vướng, chắc chắn không phải là người duy nhất. Bạn đã từng biến rắc rối thành dự án nhỏ chưa?

A quotation from Hyman Rickover

Unfortunately, in real life there are no exact or final answers. In a job which must go ahead at a rapid pace we cannot withhold judgment “until all the facts are in.” Rarely is all the evidence at hand. Decisions must be made, and action taken, before complete knowledge can be acquired.

Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
Speech (1954-03-16), “Administering a Large Military Development Project,” US Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California

Solve problems, don't dwell on them. Shift your focus from 'why is this happening?' to 'how can I fix it?' 🛠️

It’s useful to distinguish between three different categories of learning: factual information acquisition, problem-solving, and building a process toolkit
