Covid19 will cost the state £132bn. Sounds like a crisis. But Total value of land in UK is £5tn, and half of it is owned by the richest 1% of us. 30% is owned by aristocrats. So create a #LandValueTax (like Switzerland has) of 1.3% for 2 years, and Covid19 is paid for.

Does it matter how well engineered your “product” is if it is mothballed after 12 months anyway?

Where does engineering rep come from? Here's a Google engineer slagging on Amazon engineering, which they say mediocre. I don't think this is an unusual opinion, I've heard this from people both inside and outside of Google. Google has the best engineering, Amazon is mediocre.

About 2.5 years ago, I estimated that my book on software estimation would be finished within 6 months. It is still nowhere near finished.

you’re at a dinner party. there are 30 guests and 30 servings. jeff makes himself 29 plates. he hoards them all, despite the fact that there’s no way he can eat all that food. and people defend him because “well, it’s his. what’s he gonna do, give it away?” yes.

Every so often I remember that "helicopter" is not made up of "heli" and "copter" but of "helico" and "pter" and I am filled with a deep rage

My partner has a follow-up observation that further disrupts the status quo: doesn’t that mean that the “p” is silent, like in pterodactyl and pterosaur? So we should be saying HELICOTTER

Writing ruby is like learning to ride a bike. No matter how long you go without doing it, you immediately remember what it's like for nokogiri to fail to install.

Hmm I 100% don’t think this is a problem with nokogiri. It’s just that it’s a common gem with native extensions that is the canary in the coal mine for your ruby end being broken.

Jesus Christ @zoom_us, you've apparently let a whole school in Chile sign up for a paid account using my e-mail address, because you never verified it. I went to create my own account, it said I had one, so I "forgot password", and now I own this school's admin account.
