Re: Iron Law of Remote WorkLast time, I suggested that bosses generally want in-office people, and workers want to work from home. This is regardless of any data, studies, or “reality.” It’s pure human preference. One of you asked me if this was because of an increase in productivity or a decrease.

We also discuss how secure software supply chain thinking might change the tight coupling between CI/CD, making that slash back into a wall between the two: CI|CD.

Not much time for original content today: a Link Gourmand, my own links, the wastebook, and quick chair. Garbage Chairs of AmsterdamGarbage Chairs of Amsterdam, March, 2023For several years, I took a lot of pictures of thrown out chairs in Amsterdam. Here’s a small selection of early ones - I’ll have to upload all of them to a gallery someday. I did a few videos as well. This is one of those things that you don’t notice until you notice it.

What is a Life Dedicated to Art?What does it mean to live a life dedicated to art, focused on art? I know what it means and feel like for a software developer to dedicate your life to programming, to technology innovation.
