The Free Electron blog post was written by Michael Lopp 19 years ago and later published with additions to the book Managing Humans. It tells the story of extremely productive engineers and how to use that force of nature from a team lead point of view. I look back to it whenever I encounter genius work perhaps with a bit of an unexpected direction. Give that story a chance.
More Blueberries
It was peak season for blueberries today. We did a five-hour hike to Cherni Vrah. The sun was strong, and the berries were hot.
For a second time in a row, couldn’t pay respect to Cherni Vrah’s bean soup. This time the queue was too long. Felt easier to skip it, eat later.
Bridge
The path from Hotel Moreni to Aleko Hut is so good these days that I saw a baby in a stroller on this bridge. Babies are usually carried in special backpacks by their parents. Was too shy to take a photo so here’s the bridge sans people.
You can get there by taking bus 66 to the final stop, then walk 200 meters back. Take the alley to Cherni Vrah. There will be a sign pointing to Aleko about 10 minutes later. The path is very easy.
Paint No More
A pedestrian underpass in Sofia was painted over the stone. The stone itself was covered with 50 years of graffiti. I saw the public criticism and decided to walk there during my lunch break.
Here’s how it looked before:
It’s not perfect but I like it painted. You have a surreal feeling when walking out because of the gradient.
Whoever painted it, just painted over all the trouble, and didn’t attempt to fix anything.
What do you think is better? Paint or stone covered with graffiti?
Cat Found
With the typical for Sofia mixture of comfort and decay. Speaking of which, here’s the story of the Cat Found meme.
