Quick #braindump of a few things that popped up on my radar. Some of which might make it into blog posts later, but I wanted to persist them here before I forget.
- I really enjoyed The White Lotus, Season 3. I didn't like the intro as much as the respective intros of the previous seasons, but the extended version is absolutely awesome.
- In one of the recent episodes of The Pragmatic Engineer, the concept of "Desirability, Feasibility, Viability" came up. Cursory Googling results in blog posts which seemingly don't go as deep into that topic as the podcast episode did. Need to re-listen to that part, as it really resonated with me. #ProductManagement
- The host is called Gergely, not Gregory or Gregerly. Reading Skills are so important. #til
- This article, called The Deathbed Fallacy, is an interesting read, and it somewhat relates to thoughts I had in the past about over-estimating the abilities of our Future Selves (I related that to coding and the willingness to accumulate technical debt, for example). I need to re-read that article and see how it relates to my mental model. #futureself
- On a darker note, I stumbled over an example of Rape Culture - the idea that there are factors in our culture which normalize male-on-female abuse or rape. I found it in an old song book used by german Scouts. The song is literally about a bishop promising salvation to a girl in exchange for sex. The same songbook also contained at least one similar song. If I find the time, I need to look up that book (I have a copy around here somewhere) and review it.
