Using Pixelbook as my daily driver

Some background... I have been using Macbook Air/Pro as my everyday computer for 10 years (prior to that was Gentoo Linux for 7 years), but in recent years the hardware quality and sluggishness of MacOS made me consider to switch back to Linux. Until I read about Crostini, a Linux container in…

Review after two weeks with Gemini Phone

Supporting crowdfunded PDA phones in 2018 — So it is two weeks after using the Gemini Phone as my work phone and I would love to write a review on what it’s like using a PDA phone in 2018. Gemini is an Android phone with the Psion 5 keyboard (at least that was how it marketed). As…

公司創辦人給實習生的話:我希望你在大學裡學過這些知識

前言:去年暑假,Oursky 招募了一名來自美國的實習生 Xiuwen。Xiuwen 是很優秀的學生,在實習結束前,Xiuwen 反思了她在實習期間遇到過的瓶頸,還有提出了對大學課程內容如何協助學生投身新創公司時能快速上手的建議。 嗨,實習生,我是那個坐在角落的公司創辦人 Xiuwen: 嗨,我是那個坐在角落、常被活埋在有點凌亂的桌子後面的 Ben。仔細聆聽每一位同事的意見和建議並給予反饋是 …

Retrospect on last week

1. 最近連續和幾個剛畢業的學生面試,都提起他們讀書時參與的「政冶事件」,提醒我在佔中風口的學生們應該今年都畢業了。雖然自己無主動提起,但都有想多謝或佩服的感覺。 有學生提到自己和一些朋友的想法是要找工作養起自己,好等運動可以在資源缺乏的情況下維持下去,有這樣的想法實在非常了不起。 當然也有學生以「政冶事件」幾個字略過,然後說自己也不是有很強的政治傾 …

How to set up an internal team forum in half a day using Discourse

TL;DR: I’ve deployed Discourse on Kubernetes (K8s) for my company’s internal discussion platform. Because I couldn’t find a simple tutorial, I documented my steps to help other developers do it too. Why would I want to deploy Discourse on Kubernetes? Our company already has a Kubernetes cluster for random tools and staging deployment, so it is cheaper to deploy…

I Gave Up My Desk for a Week and This is What I Learned

Management by wandering. — As my company’s grown, the number of internal / external meetings and tasks has become crazy. I have no time to wander around in office and have casual chats with fellows any more. While people in the office have coffee and casual chats I am usually running for the next…

Interns Are Not Good Free Labor

In fact, they’re more expensive than you think. — We recently did a quarterly review with our content interns and found that one piece took 3 x 8-hour days to write. An editor, full-time staff, and the intern were involved over the course of three weeks, which made our intern’s piece more expensive than our in-house staff writers’ pieces…

Am I just wasting everyone’s time?

And what will prove that I’m not? — I had a shower thought at the end of 2016: I should just pass on recruitment events and speaking opportunities to other team members. It began as a small thought. But by the time I finished my shower, my thoughts had spiraled into a much bigger, deeper problem. I was…

How I attracted awesome team members as an introverted founder

And yeah, I still can’t do small talk. — I’m a typical developer geek and introvert — the type that just sits and listens in social gatherings and has nervous habits for public speaking. But I’m not stuck in a dark basement, and you might be surprised to know I run a web and mobile development agency with over…
