Good heuristic for making irreversible changes: don’t destroy what you don’t understand – a principle known as “Chesterton’s fence.”

In the latest “Traction Heroes” podcast, we unpack what it means for you. TL; DR: don’t be stupid. (Check out Harry’s *excellent* definition of stupidity.)

Message syndical :
Pendant ce temps dans une "grande université de rang mondiale de la santé planétaire de mes fesses au fromage tout ça tout ça", pour faire des économies on supprime les postes (catégorie C) qui accompagnent les étudiants handicapés pour passer les examens.

Mais on recrute des "chargés de mission catégorie A+" qui coûtent un bras, parce qu'on a toujours besoin de bons petits soldats du middle-management

”The company’s long delay in getting out a mass-market, affordable model is in part because of Musk’s poor decisions… Tesla’s design team had a plan for a less expensive model, but Musk torpedoed it…”

Continued thread

”…Musk’s reputation isn’t Tesla’s only problem; his management is driving the company down too. …the company’s vehicle lineup has become stale and its designs are looking dated. …the Cybertruck, is a dud, and deliveries had to be paused…because trim pieces were flying off.”

:boost_requested: Dear Fediverse, I am about to step up into my first role as a tech lead (*context in follow-up post) and would like to ask some questions to help me prepare & improve:

Groups:

  • 🔵 Technical: Devs, DevOps, Infra
  • 🟠 Product: Marketing, UX/Design, etc
  • 🟣 Business: HR, management C-roles.

Questions:

  1. What are your initial thoughts when you hear you'll be getting a new tech lead?
  2. What are your hopes & expectations for them?
  3. What are your concerns when a new "tech lead" is hired?
  4. What changes do you hope for, or expect?

❗ Please add your colour to your reply & poll.

Lastly, if you have other advice for someone who wishes to be the best possible tech lead of their teams.

Back in 2018-2019 I began a little vanity project*: Trump's pompous, hateful, spiteful, anti-democratic, #authoritarian, etc. pronouncements interspersed with fictional emails based closely on real emails etc. from university administrators (i.e., presidents et al.). The idea was to show that some of the language and many of the actions of the university administrators were nearly identical to Trump's, though in slightly different domains and using differently-coded language.

Maybe I should make time for continuing that. I am of the opinion that Americans' habit of turning everything possible into an authoritarian hierarchy is one of the underlying reasons for the "success" of the current national authoritarian coup.

This would perhaps not have any positive effect for anyone except me*.
