Say what you will about a cartoon whose protaganist is a 0.00000000001 percenter… It’s still a lot of fun.
I remember when the original DuckTales first came out. My brother and I never missed an episode. We loved it, to put it mildly. So when they announced the re-boot I was torn. Generally I’m getting very weary of reboots/sequels/prequels and other intellectual laziness. Continue reading “Tales of Daring…”
One lesson I’ve learned in 20 years of software development is this: Think twice before working for any company run by a salesman. Continue reading “Selling vs Leading”
