Getting More Strategic

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-06 15:41:36

Strategy – how to be strategic, and how to be seen as strategic – is one of my ongoing obsessions. Years ago, I read Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, and it’s guided my thinking ever since. One of the things that book helps clarify is that being strategic and being seen as strategic can work against each other – good strategy is obvious, and usually it is executed on more than it’s talked about. An ongoing frustration for other under indexed people in tech I talk to, as we build products and organiz

Apple looks set to make two iOS 26 security changes to make iPhones safer

A combination of new code spotted by Macworld and 9to5Mac suggests that Apple may be set to make two iOS 26 security changes which will make iPhones safer. Historically, Apple has issued security patches as part of a new iOS build. This has two significant disadvantages which can leave many iPhones unprotected against the latest threats for longer than necessary … The first is that each new iOS version takes time to develop, and security updates had to wait for this work to be complete.

Nonstick cookware is great for some things, but treating it like a Swiss Army knife for cooking is a recipe for disaster. Nonstick pans have issues with proper browning and searing. Ask it to give your steak a crust, and it'll respond with something sad and gray. And here's the kicker: Some foods are nonstick coating assassins.

The common sense unit of work

What if we were to model a typical software development lifecycle in code? The unit of work would be the fundamental abstraction. We’d build state machines and workflows around it, carrying it from specification to deployment through activities performed by product managers, engineers, designers, and others. The process could be customised to each team’s needs, with all the bells and whistles. But fundamentally, its effectiveness and adaptability depends on how good this central abstraction is.
