Thanks for pointing this out - never realized before.

So much for the right to be forgotten...


Looks like permissions on the diagrams hasn't been set properly. They need to make the link viewable by anyone who has it.


Excellent article. Especially love the call outs on "must have 5 years experience using {technology ABC}" when it's only been around for 5 years.


Sometimes you want to hire the creator of such technology. ;)


Right? My irony detection meter pegged when I read this article/email. Beautiful needs, tragic strategy.


>> But we all start back at 0 when we do something new. We progress faster the second and further times around.

Great comment. It alludes to 'iterating on yourself'. It's difficult when you feel like you're competing with others, rather than working to satisfy your own essential self.


Ditto to Rickcusick's call out. This is one of my favorite insights on this thread.

There are so many moments in life where we have to start back at zero. I like to think about the Teddy Roosevelt "Man in the Arena" speech when I'm back at a "0":

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
