Rat race. Cartoon I made for Dutch newspaper Trouw a while back, published today in Belgian newspaper De Morgen: https://www.demorgen.be/puzzels-cartoons/tjeerd-royaards~b6a46595/

#RatRace #therapy #efficiency

A cartoon depicting a running race. A sign along the track reads "Rat Race" in large letters. Other signs along the track read "Be more PRODUCTIVE!" and "Go FASTER!" Sweaty people run past a man who has fallen. Orange cones and a warning sign reading "burnout" are placed around him. At a pit stop along the track, a row of sofas is set up where people can see a psychologist. A sign at the beginning of the pit stop reads "Therapy & Coaching: Optimize Yourself!". A sign at the end of the pit stop lane reads "And GO!"

Surely the fact that copying text from pdf files brings with it the text breaks from the pdf has to be at least a somewhat noticable dampener on productivity/efficiency in all kinds of industries, politics, etc across the world?

Right?

Or is this a Linux phenomenon?

I really wish there was a way to avoid this. Or that I could code and could make a tiny app where you just paste text and it auto removes single text breaks.

In 1969, NASA landed humans on the Moon with 4KB of RAM (really).

In 2026, a simple chat app needs 400MB of RAM just to show a blinking cursor.

We've traded optimization for developer velocity, and while I love modern frameworks, sometimes I miss the era when software felt "light". Is it efficiency we lost, or just the respect for the user's hardware?

Which programming languages are most token-efficient?

Comparing token efficiency across 19 popular programming languages using RosettaCode data - from Clojure to C, there's a 2.6x difference.

Start your meetings at 5 minutes past

I work as an Engineering Manager at Google, and my teams practice a simple habit - we book all meetings to start at five minutes past the hour (or half hour). This works better than trying to finish five minutes early. Meetings often don't finish on time, and the impact is highest with back-to-back meetings.…

The Emperor Has No Clothes: How to Code Claude Code in 200 Lines of Code

The core of tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Warp isn't magic. It's about 200 lines of straightforward Python. Let's build one from scratch.

How We Automated Federal Retirements

Two engineers walked into the government six months ago to drag federal retirements from an underground mine onto the Internet. They built retire.opm.gov and are poised to turn six-month waits into near-instant processing for hundreds of thousands of employees.
