  • I have a tea addiction which ensures that at least once an hour I stand up and leave the keyboard for 10 mins. Pee, collect tea, back to work.

    Sometimes however, when I’m stuck on a bug I have no idea how to solve I can sometimes lose track of time and maybe don’t take a break when I should…but never for longer than 2hrs.

    If I’ve been working on a problem for 8hrs I go to sleep. Invariably I solve it quite quickly the following day.

    Obviously the thing to learn here is: stop working on it before 8hrs hits…but I’m a simple man who apparently can’t see this at the time.


  • Currently batteries are replaceable, but due to their design it’s unlikely to be worth the expense. Forcing them to make it user replaceable ensures it’s easy to do, and cheap - so even if you don’t want to do it as a recharge mechanism, it is still to your advantage to have it so when your battery does inevitably deteriorate you can swap it out at your convenience.






  • Even if they did, so what? We should not then recognise positive decisions?

    If we don’t allow companies and people to make any mistakes, for fear of being forever scorned, then we’ll end up with either unprogressive risk averse companies that cannot compete against their peers, or a host of good companies that go bankrupt from the slightest misstep.

    Personally I’m glad companies such as proton exist, and are prepared to take risks, as they are currently our best hope against the likes of Google and Meta.
