Friday Links 24-09

Painting with two radio masts in the country side

I loved the essay about 40 years of programming by Lars Wirzenius. 

The coaching session about career goals is also great, independent of the topic.

Leadership

How Do I Balance My Career Goals with My Company’s Needs? [Podcast] - great coaching session. 

Breaking Down Barriers: How Field Trips to Different Team Offsites Spark Cross-Team Collaboration - I love this idea. 

Leadership requires taking some risk. - "sometimes bottom-up leadership requires obfuscating the work being done"

Friction isn't velocity. - change creates friction (in the form of more work), and change feels good, even if the result might not be better.

Engineering

40 years of programming - good summary about engineering and leading projects (at the time of writing, there is an SSL error)

How to run an LLM on your PC, not in the cloud, in less than 10 minutes - I'll put that on my long to-do list. 

Code samples for the opening chapter of Refactoring - love this. It is missing Perl, Ruby, and Elixir, in case you are bored.

Urbanism

People Hate the Idea of Car-Free Cities—Until They Live in One - “If you go back a year or two later, people will just say: well, this is the best thing we ever did.”

Paris cycling numbers double in one year thanks to massive investment and it’s not stopping -

Cheating Automatic Toll Booths by Obscuring License Plates - crimes in cars are fine.

Random Radios

Fifty Things you can do with a Software Defined Radio - now I want one of these too!

Threads has entered the fediverse - there will be a shitstorm, let's see how it ends.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones - good!

Shaped like information - always funny. I am all for Hoboz! 

How the world sleeps, according to Garmin Connect sleep score data - unsurprisingly Spain isn't doing great.
