Friday Links 25-27

This week, I enjoyed the blog about chat programming, and coding at work, which is probably related. 

Leadership

Hybrid workers are putting in 90 fewer minutes of work on Fridays – and an overall shift toward custom schedules could be undercutting collaboration - Friday is always different in Spain. 

Thermostats - Tuning team temperature - first rule of leadership: don't panic 

Feedback doesn't scale - this is mostly about bigger teams  

Managers, Don’t Bet on Your People’s Ideas! - bet on the people

Engineering

AI World Clocks - some are actually good, the others are funny.

A Month of Chat-Oriented Programming - I can relate to this. I have been shouting at Claude this week. 

run-ancient-unix  - Version 1 on a fake PDP-11!

Coding at work (after a decade away). - "Dubious return-on-effort of manager coding"

The Pulse: Cloudflare takes down half the internet – but shares a great postmortem - good summary of the whole episode

Environment 

When Bill Gates Yelled At Me About Climate Change - he is weird. 

Ban on veggie ‘burgers’: plant-based products may lose meaty names in UK under EU law - "There’s no genuine, citizen-driven demand to ban veggie burgers or sausages – just a meat industry push to protect its profit margins from a rising tide of dietary change."

Urbanism

Why have deaths and serious injuries in collisions involving HGVs being driven in London halved since 2019? - What? You can actually improve things? 

Random Adventures

Zork is now open source - nice.
