"Be the first one at your daily stand-up, and run it like the Scrum master you know you are." Surely a true alpha would declare that scrum and agile are "dead".
One aspect of the protomolecule that I quite enjoyed was the manner in which Earth, Mars, and the Belt attempt to control and leverage it to assert their dominance or, at least, maintain a balance of power. It speaks to…
According to Aristotle [0], there are three types of friendship: friendship of utility; friendship of pleasure; friendship of the good. I find this to be a useful framework for considering the varying kinds of platonic…

In general, I find that assuming that other players will act rationally or in their own best-interests (according to my subjective definitions) is inadvisable. If OP has a major problem with the quality of their hiring…
My observation is that polite, decently-articulated comments are generally well-received at HN, and snarky, mocking comments are not tolerated. Stating an incorrect opinion as fact is not tolerated, but opinions are…

Japan is unrivaled in building long-lasting wooden structures using only joinery (no nails, screws). This allows the wood to expand and contract harmoniously without cracking. Multi-story buildings (temples are a great…
There are millions of black-market firearms available in the United States that may be acquired by a motivated killer with relative ease. I'm not entirely convinced they can "unfry that egg", so to speak. For now, in…
Ditto the rest of the cephalopod family, the ingenuity demonstrated by octopuses is well-documented but endlessly fascinating!
