My latest tech history column is now up on Every!

In 1981, Don Estridge broke every rule IBM had to create the IBM PC. He invented an entire industry and gifted it to the company he loved.

IBM never forgave him for it. This is his story. https://every.to/the-crazy-ones/the-misfit-who-built-the-ibm-pc

"After 17 of using Twitter daily and 24 years of using Google daily neither really works anymore. And particular with the collapse of the social spaces many of us grew up with, I feel called back to earlier forms of the Internet, like blogs, and in particular, starting a link blog." #Technology https://werd.io/2024/a-link-blog-in-the-year-2024

Let me save you the trouble of having to read 50% of the takes on any new or , now and ever:

It resembles something that came before.

It can do Hello World quicker than whatever you're using to build a multimillion enterprise software suite.

It's not a silver bullet.

It can and will be used in the wrong way.

It's a departure from what you've been doing so even if it's easier, it may be harder at first.

There's a next better thing around the corner.

Remember the Steven Sinofsky memoir about his time at Microsoft heading the Windows and Office teams that was being released as a SubStack newsletter? It's now available as a Kindle book, and will be available in paper in July.

"The nation, fractured by war, disease, and famine, has seen more than 6 million people die since the mid-1990s. But, in recent years, the death and destruction have been aided by the growing number of EVs humming down American streets." https://werd.io/2024/how-black-lives-became-the-hidden-cost-of-clean-energy

I shared this with my team and one of them said they had to check that I didn't write it. This is exactly how I think about (and ask my team to think about) rooting software development in human needs. https://werd.io/2024/user-research-is-storytelling

"The key to effective engineering leadership lies in figuring out which scenarios are worth deliberately defying conventional logic, and when to simply follow the rules." Lots of food for thought here. https://werd.io/2024/unexpected-anti-patterns-for-engineering-leaders

Turning An ATX PSU Into A Variable Bench Supply

Bench power supplies can sometimes be frustratingly expensive and also kind of limited. If you’re enterprising and creative, though, you can create your own bench supply with tons of features, and it doesn’t have to break the bank either.
