In theory perhaps. In practice, if you're stuck using the likes Jira or ADO, the friction of getting something into the ticketing system is excessive. If you're using a ticketing system designed for programmers and not project managers, then maybe it could be organized for a flow like that.
> I want to emphasize that the coding journal is not a todo file or code comment. It contains things I have to think about not things I have to do.
The author mentions that a lot of these will eventually end up in comments or elsewhere, but it’s nice to capture random thoughts without adding the friction of deciding where it should land, what priority the ticket should be, etc, etc is quite nice.
This matches the spirit of Getting Things Done's "Inbox" quite well. The goal is to minimize friction for recording thoughts/ideas/todos that come into your head. You write them down and into the Inbox they go, to be sorted/dealt with at some later time.
I write notes throughout the day. Hardly ever search back in it. It's just to let me stop thinking about thing X while I'm working on thing Y. If X is important it'll come up again or show up in a ticket somewhere.
This is partially a collective action problem. It might be socially optimal for people to take more risks working on crazy ideas, but for individuals there's less risk in working for a large corporation on incremental improvements.
No, but if you can spend decades building up convincing PoCs and pitch decks without needing to worry about starving, rent or healthcare you are more likely too. Sweden is more entrepreneurial than most of the rest of Europe for this reason afaik
I wonder how long till Substack starts aggregating writers. Subscribe to these 5 for 20% off, sort of thing.
You could aggregate writers within a niche to get a full view of that area. Or you could aggregate across topics to get something approaching a traditional newspaper.
Having hired subcontractors from offshore I can tell that there is always a background difference that decrease the value.
Covid has shown that a lot of office work can be done remotely, but that does not mean that all the businesses suddenly will go away offshore. It just becomes a perk of the job.
And, thus, we're close to having machine operators working from their beds :)
I don't think it's specific for apple, they did mention that the participants just had the apple watch, but from the sounds of it, any GPS hear rate monitor would help..
I think Maybe a collective app simular to Strava might be a better place to get a collection of data maybe..
Oura was quite good with warning me that something is not ok and I should take it easy on the morning of the day when I started to have symptoms. I was tested positive later that day. Interestingly, nobody I met days before I was warned was infected, so in my case warning came in right moment.
I was going to mention them. Some members of the US military were given them as part of a study on COVID detection. Basically any wearable sensors covering the right metrics can be used for this. The question, really, was less about "Can wearable health monitoring equipment detect early signs of <disease>?" than "What are the early signs which wearables can detect and use for prediction once we know them?"
"Taxi drivers told you what to buy. The shoeshine boy could give you a summary of the day's financial news as he worked with rag and polish. An old beggar who regularly patrolled the street in front of my office now gave me tips and, I suppose, spent the money I and others gave him in the market. My cook had a brokerage account and followed the ticker closely. Her paper profits were quickly blown away in the gale of 1929."
