  • What does “empathy in communication” have to do with a software project?

    Not having read Stein's work, I can only mostly guess it's related to the emphasis on the "communication" part as it applis to effective communication of duties, milestones, failure modes and reactions in a project. Torvalds's tirades for example were awesome and most of the time well-deserved for the idiot trying to accidentally the kernel, but are quite more of a bummer and a momentum-killer when looked at at a project-wide scope.

    I’m all for empathy, don’t get me wrong, but ideally software projects are more focused on technical correctness than feels

    (Not) sorry to say, that age has long sailed. Remote teambuilding, capitalism and AI have made it that we now need to actually care and be watchful why or how something is being made to work, on the technical sense. Just look at the situation with Mozilla or Signal (offering systems that can be described as free, but are being offered so in a rather adversarial manner).

  • Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn't actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can't trademark words that are in the dictionary like "hoard" or "hoarder", since by definition they have prior art.

  • Sí de hecho por ahí va la cosa.

    Me imagino que la entrada del crontab va a ser así como 0 10 * * 1 /path/to/crear_hilo_semanal.sh (el 0 10 es para hacerlo a las 10 de la mañana del lunes, como el chiste de Alvarito Salas).

    Ojo de evitar crear el título del hilo dentro del crontab porque las máscaras de formato de date y otros comandos similares que usan %, no funcionan correctamente dentro de un crontab.

  • You don't need years for a terminal, at least not for the stuff a normal user would have to expect to do with it (so eg.: not browsing files, that has good UIs already). But you should expect to have to learn something. We require people to learn and even certify their learning when they are to drive a car for example, and for computers we are not even askng 1/6th of that, even tho the last few decades show we maybe should.

  • You don't need to do everything on the terminal -- even today, you don't have to. But you should not fear the terminal, the same way you should not fear a piano because you play a violin. Windows also has a terminal, there's stuff that tells you to go there to enable some Powershel things, and no one complains.
