The moment I stopped apologizing before every request was the moment I realized I’d been treating my own needs as an imposition on other people’s comfort. The apology wasn’t politeness. It was a pre-negotiated discount on my own worth so nobody could reject me at full price.

When you apologize before every request, you're not being polite — you're discounting your own needs before anyone else has the chance to take them seriously. The habit often starts as childhood self-protection and becomes an invisible tax on your own worth.

The most painful thing about having parents who love you but don’t quite know you is that they will spend the rest of their lives describing a son they invented to people who will never meet the one you actually became.

My mother told a story about me at a dinner party in 2019. I wasn’t there. The story got back to me through a cousin, the way these things do, slightly rounded at the edges from the journey. In the story, I was a confident young man who had built a successful business through sheer ... Read more Read more

AI не убил профессию джуна. AI убил иллюзию о джуне

Сегодня в обсуждении AI часто звучит тезис, что джуны индустрии больше не нужны и учиться программированию бессмысленно. Я с этим тезисом не согласен. Под словом «джун» рынок объединил две разные категории: выпускника инженерной программы и человека, который три месяца смотрел видеолекции и собрал три pet-проекта. AI давит на вторую категорию, первую почти не трогает. Настоящих джунов и так было мало. Они нужны индустрии больше, чем раньше. Ниже: что должен знать... Read more

Drugs designed to clear amyloid beta from the brain—once seen as a promising path to slowing Alzheimer’s—may not actually help patients in any meaningful way, according to a major review of over 20,000 participants. Even more concerning, they may increase the risk of brain swelling and bleeding, sometimes without obvious symptoms. Read more

Как сайты собирают цифровой отпечаток пользователя — почему VPN больше не спасает (О Fingerprinting)

Я раньше был уверен, что понимаю, как работает отслеживание в интернете. Очистил cookies - чист. Включил VPN - спрятался. Поставил блокировщик - стал почти невидимым. Звучит логично, правда?Проблема в том, что всё это работает только на уровне, который уже давно не является основным.Современные сайты не обязательно знают, кто ты. Им это и не нужно. Достаточно собрать достаточно признаков, чтобы отличить тебя от всех остальных. Версия браузера, разрешение экрана, поведение мыши,... Read more

Юзабилити‑тестирование без иллюзий, или почему технических тестов недостаточно?

Знакомая история: команда полгода шлифовала функционал, тестировщики уничтожили все баги, а пользователи уходят. Аналитик разводит руками, поддержка задыхается от тикетов, маркетинг угрожает продакту, а продакт – дизайнеру. В это время CFO считает расходы и грустно вздыхает. Больно видеть, как много появляется на рынке таких продуктов, прошедших технические проверки и проваливших испытание пользовательским опытом. Идеально работающих, но никому не нужных. Что делать, чтобы не войти в их число? Читать далее Read more

I’m 37 and I recently counted the people who would notice if I disappeared for a week — not from social media, from actual life — and the number was smaller than I expected and larger than zero, which somehow made it worse

I did something last month that I don’t recommend. I counted. I was lying in bed in our apartment in Saigon at about eleven o’clock on a Tuesday, my wife asleep next to me, my daughter asleep in the next room, and a question dropped into my head the way bad questions do – uninvited ...

Psychology says people who feel a strange peace mowing the lawn or washing the car aren’t escaping anything — they’ve found one of the few tasks left in modern adult life with a visible beginning, middle, and end, and the satisfaction isn’t about the chore, it’s about completing something fully in a life that mostly doesn’t allow that anymore

In a world where emails multiply faster than rabbits and to-do lists never end, millions are discovering that the simple act of pushing a mower or sudsing up a car delivers something their high-tech lives can't: the primal satisfaction of watching something go from start to finish without a single notification interrupting the process.

My perfectly color-coded spreadsheets tracked every calorie, rep, and productive minute until the night I had a panic attack over whether I could "afford" dessert with friends. Read more
