💥 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Previously: Notes from the SF Party SceneScott Alexander writes an excellent series of posts about Bay Area house parties. He’s written more than a half-dozen at this point. They all involve the straight-man audience/scott-insert (and the only sane man left alive, apparently) entering some strange lovecraftian event that, if you squint, could be called a house party.

🚀 Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: When you make speed and “moving fast” the biggest priority on a project or in an organization, the first thing to breakdown is talking to each other. Talking takes time. Consensus is expensive and slow. In a pressurized environment there’s no time to schedule calls, get input from subject matter experts, or resolve key differences of opinion. ASAP makes a big assumption that all relevant parties are already in the room. Not everything needs to be a conversation. I’m a firm believer in “get the…

✨ Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: In a market that evolves as quickly as this one, it's interesting to realize how many interesting inventions have been lost to time over the years, many of which we may never even have heard of. Today, removable storage is all about USB drives or external SSDs and HDDs (which also connect to a computer via USB), but most will remember DVDs, CDs, and even floppy disks.

The IETF is an interesting place; it seems to be about 1/3 maintenance grunt work, 1/3 extending existing stuff, and 1/3 blue sky insanity. I attended mostly because I wanted to see how people would react to TCP BBR, which was being presented there for the first time. (Answer: mostly positively, but with suspicion. It kinda seemed too good to be true.) Anyway, the…
