* >Ninety-nine percent of the developers at one of the world's largest transportation companies are from India*

What company is that?

> They also need acidic soil.

For a while, I was saving the leftover from my morning coffee pot for a friend of mine, who used it to acidify the soil around her blueberry bushes. I don't know if it worked or not.


I did the same thing. It might have been too much and killed the plants at some point. That or the excess fertilizer lol.


Preach brother! My sentiments exactly. And I've developed SPAs that are massively complex and highly interactive, and whatever problems these folks are referring to that stuff like this supposedly solves, I've not yet encountered.


"Do the next right thing" was a phrased used by Alcoholics Anonymous long before that 2019 movie came out, so I don't think calling it "The Anna Principle" is appropriate.


I didn't know this! That just makes me appreciate this more, and thank you for making me aware of it.

But thinking of it as "The Anna Principle", named after a character from a children's movie, remains way more fun. It was already a tongue-in-cheek-ism to ascribe what I really do believe is a strong foundational idea (not just in project planning, but in life) to a character in a children's movie.

By the way, I tracked this back to at least one earlier use of a similar construction (which maybe is implied to be the basis of its use in AA) by Carl Jung:

> But if you do with conviction the next and most necessary thing, you are always doing something meaningful and intended by fate.

Excerpted from: https://www.themarginalian.org/2021/12/07/carl-jung-next-rig...

But I suspect this is an even older, indeed timeless, idea. But ascribing it to a modern well-known movie character makes it more fun and memorable :)


>And they tried more complicated alloys, for instance they developed Corten steel, the biggest example of which is probably the US Steel building in Pittsburgh. It's a steel where it's 'rust' essentially works as a protective layer.

Also worthy of mention is the New River Gorge Bridge. [1]

And the recently-collapsed Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh. [2]

Or… the US Steel Tower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Steel_Tower


> So they should use the exact same OS and they'll have the same color picker everywhere, native to that OS. Problem solved.

How would that work if the app had to work on both desktop and mobile?

And, how easy would it be to make sure all users were using the same model and make of mobile device?


>I think that's UTO :-)

In some places, "PTO" stands for "Personal Time Off". In those places, there can be paid PTO and unpaid PTO.


> That's an interesting take that seems so obvious now that you've said it. I've spent my whole life in single family homes and never quite "got" the "go work in a cafe" and similar stuff. Seems like a pretty rich tapestry of possible experiences to miss out on. Huh. Will be chewing on that for a while.

The only way to find out if it's worth your while is to try it. I tried it, and it wasn't for me.
