Maybe true, but not true enough.


"If they're doing better than me it's their luck. If they're doing worse, it's their fault."


The liberal sociopath mantra.


Clever framing of the authors own biases. I'd argue that for at least some of these, the opposite behaviour would be the true sabotage.


Let’s make a committee to discuss! we need all the key players involved, so let’s invite all of dev and QA, ~60 people for an hour long discussion?


What? You think the meeting was unnecessary? Well, you're the only one who disagrees with the outcome. Sounds like you're not being a team player. Let's have a meeting with HR tomorrow.


In fact, a sabotage manual should include the opposite action for each point. These are not the methods of sabotage, they're the methods of shrouding your sabotage in plausibility. It wouldn't provide you plausible deniability if doing the things on the list was never reasonable.


Looks like that's on codemirror framework? Any good resources you could share on wiring up custom language and view? I've managed to kinda get something working with lezer but the docs aren't great and I want to setup some pretty specific behaviour in the view with folding and validation etc.


Yes, Codemirror.

What I know about Codemirror I mostly learned by reading other people's code so I suggest that.

Specifically code of silverbullet: https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/tree/main/web... (and a few other directories there).

It implements very advanced Markdown mode, lots of code to learn from.


It's unethical


Wish I read this before I named gonna my dog "Noise Maker".


also curious how you track your reading speed? any tools or process that works for you?


Hey I love your reading tracking, care to share your tracking / reading process? Any reason you use airtable over, say, Goodreads?


Thank you for the kind words!

I find the Goodreads UI _incredibly_ busy. Here's what I saw when I logged in just now: https://cdn.zappy.app/76d7cba6b409f0aa9310214401d11db9.png

It's nice to see what my friends are reading, but it's always trying to recommend me books, sell me things, etc. It makes sense (it's why Amazon bought them) but it I found it mostly got in the way of what I wanted out of it- a spreadsheet with pre-filled information. Also it's dumb, but I wanted to rate books on a 4-point scale, and theirs is out of 5.

I used to use a gSheet for this (with columns for title, author, day start/end, and review), but I wanted a way to source rich info. So I combined Zapier, the google books API, and an npm package I wrote to count the words in an epub (https://github.com/xavdid/epub-wordcount/) and fed all that info into Airtable. It sounds like a lot of work, but I set it up years ago and it's been happily humming along.

Now I have exactly the tracking system I want, and it's not at the whim of decisions on any product roadmaps.


What pace would you recommend? 40 pages a day seems more than reasonable?


I liked sapiens well enough. The middle is a bit of a slog, and I think he makes a few leaps in logic, but some cool ideas in there.
