Happiness, ability, fulfillment, self-esteem... are their own justifications.
No, Montessori doesn't design her educational approach for "whatever gives a child pleasure."
But it is designed to unlock work, learning, *human life and growth* as the *highest* pleasure.

Yes. Word processing is bad.
Before it, document length was bounded by the human capacity to copy long-form text & about to plateau.
After word processing, the tax & legal codes grew without check. And became incomprehensible to anyone but career experts.

My favorite thing about this article is that the guy who wrote it started it on a Monday night at 10pm
There’s a Slack channel at GitHub with all the Joshes in it. Oddly contains only minimal joshin’.
Woke up to a larger than usual number of unread emails. Did I sleep through a major live site incident?
Nope. Someone accidentally(?) added every Mike/Michael at Microsoft to a discussion alias. Here is Copilot's summary of the thread so far:

ALT Mike was added to a group and asked for an explanation of its purpose, noticing that nearly everyone in the group is called Michael or Mike Many Michaels and Mikes introduced themselves, made jokes and expressed their amusement at being part of the group . The group is called “test Group” and some members suggested renaming it to “Michael’s SG Test Group” or "Mikerosoft" The purpose of the group remains unclear, but members are enjoying the opportunity to connect with each other Some members expressed concern that the group might be a trap or that they might be hunted for sport

Good: leave something to get you hooked on the next day.
But who can just start at next sentence w/o re-establishing context? I can't.
Instead, I'd promise myself to "just read" what I'd written the previous day, which would hook me right back into the flow.
Launching your new devtools product with a Stevey Blog Rant. Top notch.

I'm excited to announce that Cody is here for everyone. Cody can explain, diagnose, and fix your code like an expert, right in your IDE. No code base is too challenging for Cody.
It's like having your own personal team of senior engineers. Try it out!

As a fourth year I had a rotation with a kick-ass intern. She was ON IT. Communicating, checking tasks off, teaching, following up on everything, etc.
I told her how amazing she was and she said “thank you, I’m trying *really* hard.” 1/

low self esteem can make you ~meaner than you intend to be, bc you undervalue how much other people would care about how you perceive them
like it's easy to miss that ppl would want e.g. signs from you that you like them

Fun fact: I have told Ops teams before to tune-down their security requirements.
Either they would not impede actual attackers, would be actively counter-productive, or take IT time away from improvement work.
That's Security as a profession. Not turning everything to maximum!!!

The concept of billions of people having a camera/videocamera in their pocket, documenting everything (and uploading much of it to a global superbrain), is only a decade old. We live in crazy times.
