Modern building with glass front Have a listen to Greg Korah-Hartman about the kernel development process. Some good and uplifting topics in urbanism this week too. Leadership The Product Engineer - I agree with some of it. Every engineer should be a product engineer, but I still think there is a place for product managers. Who gets to do strategy? - everybody.

Heute habe ich zum ersten Mal beim Game of Toiletpaper teilgenommen. Es ist ein virtueller Alleycat der von Regine während der Pandemie gestartet wurde. Im Prinzip ist es eine Art Schnipseljagd auf dem Fahrrad, aber ohne einen bestimmten Ort gebunden zu sein.

Building a tiny Linux from scratch - pretty cool, I haven’t even built my own kernel for a long time. ...

Leadership Managing Up - I agree that it is mostly about buttering up your boss, while it should be a collaboration. Engineering Fish 4.0: The Fish Of Theseus - I am not a fan of rewrites, but this is a good read and apparently a successful rewrite. Moving bits by bit is also a practical approach. ...
