It’s not that people are stupid, it’s that they are lazy. It’s not stupid to take the path of least resistance or get annoyed at complex UI. @artypapers lazy? or busy, maybe? @shehabhamad Lazy. Busy is the socially acceptable cousin of lazy. .@shehabhamad Being too busy is a result of being too lazy to prioritize, make decisions, delegate, realize something isn’t worth doing. @artypapers To exist in the age of the Internet is to be ever confronted with the question “What is important to me?”

As I do less development, I am thinking more as stakeholder and less as an engineer. ​ I also pay special attention to more introvert people and encourage them to share their opinion on the subject. ​ I am a believer that a great manager is the one that, if absent, no one will notice, because they have created such an environment where everyone can do a great job without being blocked by them. ​ I now tend to be careful when I ask something, by making sure the person understands the why.
