Read these 3 pages. I post them every so often because I think it is some of the tightest, wisdom-packed writing on managing complex systems ever. And almost every system is a complex system today, which is why cascading failures are swirling around us. researchgate.net/publication…

This is fantastic news for science and human knowledge.
BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

Hey, less-experienced-than-me people. I have some hard-won advice for you. DO NOT EVER TAKE A JOB LIKE THIS. No, not even that “sure” bet. You sleep under your desk; people you’ll never meet walk away with all the money. xitter.cf/oven_sh/status/1562248…

Abolish “feedback” culture.
If you want to escape the brainwashing, first you have to see it. Let’s take 360° feedback as an example.

It’s always people who have not done the work asking you to forgive and forget. Accountability does not work like that. Forgiveness is a critical part of life. But forgiveness without acknowledgement of harm is just destructive for all involved.

We're hiring 2 Responsible Tech Principals (same role as me currently) at @OmidyarNetwork! There's a spectrum of experience that could make someone a great fit for this, though I personally think it would be nice to add a former engineer to the team. 😇 boards.greenhouse.io/omidyar…

I'm officially an old hater when it comes to frontend. Everything is slower by default. Nothing is actually easier than it was before. Things are still buggy af despite all the linting and type systems and build steps. And it's not even fun anymore. Sorry not sorry.

This is what happens to white men when they constantly get heralded as "geniuses" for anything they do. They start to believe it.

The towering paywall around academic journals is a barrier to citizen science and an informed public discourse. Tear down this wall.

Rigid parameter validation FTW: because explicit, fatal failure in dev is so much better than implicit, non-fatal failure in production.
