I think I have to disagree on what you have say on time-box.
> "What happens if we don't discover what we wna to in that amount of time"
Then we know that the answer could not be discovered in that amount of time we had estimated and we adjust our expectation on the effort to do the research on this task.
As a manager, thats one of the key information that I would want to know.
It’s also absolutely vital as a manager to put in place a system of psychological safety before making these kinds of asks. If someone feels like they will be held accountable for not accomplishing the task in the allotted time, then everyone is hurt by the exercise, and morale and trust can plummet - to say nothing of the exploration itself being compromised by a panicked context. But done in the right environment, this can be an amazing technique for exploring a design space.
I'm not a consistent machine though. I may be having an off day. If I don't pull it off in 20 minutes I'm not sure if it's just me, or me that day, etc.
That person couldn't discover it. Maybe another engineer could have discovered it in 5 minutes because it's what they were already working on (and the one researching wasn't aware, or maybe it was down a rabbit hole that looked unrelated).
I guess it depends on how high priority it is. But everything is high priority to management.
HTML isn't a programming language. It's a markup language, and unlike CSS it's not Turing complete. So, you can't really program in it. Also, to be extra pedantic. SICP uses MIT Scheme, which technically _is_ a lisp in the sense that all scheme's are lisps, but that's also like saying a square is a rectangle.
Haven't reached the optimum yet, so using an online notes app, and a physical journal (cheap yearly planner, not using Moleskin yet) as well. I think I will stick with the later, and maybe an online version of the final draft.
The key is to spend a significant amount of time in writing and formatting it. Think tens of minutes in what is roughly a five day period. This really works for me.
By that, I mean I am always aware what I need to do.
By no means I am in a perfect shape. I slack off sometimes, I don't do anything and waste some time.
Thats your definition of God, the definition that is made by people like you who want to make claim for your God. Stop making such obvious circular logic please. You know in the history on mankind there are more than 3000 definitions of God. If you born in old Greece 2000 years ago, your definition of God would be different from now. If you are born in Thai or India, your God will again be different. What you are currently believing just depends on your geographic location.
If I were born in Greece 2000 years ago I would have read Plato and know the same definition anyone interested in theology has known since the Sumerians. You would have read Plato too and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Please stop spreading this misconception that religions are somehow completely different and incompatible, they are simply different paths to the same goal, this has been acknowledged by saints and scholars across the world for as long as there has been religion. We might disagree on some particulars but the core concept and idea of the absolute reality is the same.
