Dear managers: Raising productivity is not about monitoring people. It's about motivating them. 94 studies: Surveillance fails to improve performanceāand increases stress, distrust, and dissatisfaction. Tracking people is not a substitute for respecting and valuing them.

I expect my grandchildren to relate to respiratory illnesses like I relate to scurvy: āWow, the past was *awful* and there is a historically contingent reason why it stayed that awful long after the tech tree would have supported eliminating this problem.ā

A decade ago I felt like I could find anything on the Web. Now I feel like I can barely find anything. People just don't put information on web pages anymore.

Premature abstraction is WAY more prevalent and worse than premature optimization and really handcuffs code bases for years and years.
I'm oddly proud that my team did NOT build this. The team that did (Pyroscope / Profiles) didn't even *tell us* they were using the OSS Grafana LLM plugin we built ā they just found it & used it; no notes.

If we can first assume there's only one person coding in the world, on one project, then we can *finally* get some definitive answers to these debates.

one of the most tedious assumptions i routinely encounterā which is still sort of surprising to me internallyā is the assumption that some individual's existing configuration is going to remain constant, and that they are not capable of change or growth
