Everything must be faster now. Emails. Projects. Thinking.

Guess what? Speed usually creates volume, not insight.

I wrote a small rant about the cult of speed in modern work culture: https://www.martinkubler.com/slow-down-think/

Slow Down. Think. Maybe Even Do the Work Yourself.

There seems to be an unspoken rule in modern work culture: Everything must happen faster.\\ Emails must be answered immediately.\ Projects must be del...

Slowness is a Virtue

The lack of contact with unspoiled #nature is one of the greatest mistakes of modern civilization. We have isolated ourselves from our natural #environment. All the #diseases of our civilization result from this.
Nature offers peace, #slowness, and #silence. It provides us with clean air, water, and food, if we have not yet poisoned it. Nature automatically gives us #strength.
When it comes to our relationship with nature, we could really do better.
The Unbearable Slowness of AI Coding

I’ve been coding entirely with Claude Code for the past two months. At first it was exhilarating. I was speeding through tasks. I was committing like mad. ...

A quotation from George Carlin

Have you ever noticed when driving that anyone who is driving slower than you is an idiot? And anyone driving faster than you is a maniac? “Say, look at this idiot here! Will you just look at this idiot, just creeping along — whoa, look at that maniac go!” I mean, it’s a wonder we ever get anywhere at all, with all the idiots and maniacs there are.

I Don’t Care About Going First. I Care About Going Deep.
Speed is cheap. Depth costs presence.

I don’t rush trends. I don’t shout first. I stay. Watch. Drop one thing that changes the game.

Have you ever noticed when you’re drivin’, anyone goin’ slower than you is an idiot? And anyone goin’ faster than you is a maniac? “Will you look at this idiot!” [points right] “Look at him! Just creepin’ along!” [swings head left] “Holy shit!

WIST Quotations

An engineer is responsible for operating the world's slowest moving trolley. Suddenly, a group of school children runs onto the track, unaware of the trolley's slow approach. As the trolley inches closer to the children, the engineer has to make a decision:

  • Pull the lever to divert the trolley onto a side track where an old person is crossing the rails.
  • Do nothing and let the trolley roll toward the children.

However the engineer decides, the trolley is slow enough that everybody can get off the rails easily, and nobody is hurt.

@ruud @unusnemo I don't have a server, only a client (Firefox browser). 504 is Gateway Time-Out error. So it is just the slow response of friendica that causes problems at times. It does not bother me, at my age I'm a wee bit slow as well 😀
