Friday Links 22-14

The paper about traffic safety messages is very surprising and interesting. 

If you don't measure your change you might make the wrong assumptions.

Leadership

Visualizing Team Dependencies with a Team API - aka team agreement

Founding Uber SRE. - I am pretty sure he is too modest. Interesting that hiring was so fast back then. 

Episode #4: Nothing In Nothing Out - I never seen a good use of Jira for metrics, maybe something to aim for at $NEXTJOB

Work

Burnout, Buffer’s State of Remote Work, and Lessons from Super Pumped [Podcast] - I liked only the first two parts. 

The world's WFH expert is confident for offices [Podcast] - as much as we hate it, most people will work in hybrid environments

Urbanism 

Infiltrating the Auto Show II [Podcast] - how to say: "we added some orange bits" in many words

Can behavioral interventions be too salient? Evidence from traffic safety messages - unintended consequences 

ADAC ruft zum Fahrradfahren auf [German] - German car club recommends to use the bicycle for the trip to the bakery instead of the SUV. (insert sound of hell freezing over) 

Free Public Transit Is Not a Climate Policy - I confess I was a fan of free transport, but I changed my mind for other reasons. Frequency is more important and it should be cheap enough.

Random Phones

Rotary Un-Smartphone - you can buy one now!

Barcelona phone booth library vandalised a day after opening - that is why we can't have nice things

GNOME patent troll stripped of patent rights - nice to see, lets make that happen more often

Seven hours’ sleep is ideal amount in middle to old age, study finds - tell that to our dogs! I wish I had seven hours uninterrupted sleep.

Antigone [Podcast] - I nearly skipped this one, but it is great. I love Greek stories and this one seems lovely, with a connection to the present. 

Maybe [Comic] - "Maybe I'll make some changes today"
