"Radical Candor" calls it rocks & rock stars. You need steady, reliable people, who are happy excelling in their current position (rocks) just as much as you need highly motivated people looking to work up the ladder into leadership positions (rock stars).

Exactly, there was no winning at the early 2000s Real Madrid full of rock stars (Zidane, the original Ronaldo, Figo, Beckham etc) until a rock like Makelele came around in the midfield. I'm surprised that the business luminaries have stopped seeing this basic fact, maybe it's because of the monopoly/oligopoly positions where they've managed to put themselves in and which makes them impervious to how badly their teams are run.
>The massive torque channeled through the rear axle shifts the load of the car rearward and tries to twist the tire on its 16-inch beadlock rim. The sidewalls wrinkle as the tire—generally running between 6.0 and 10.0 psi of pressure—shrinks in radius by more than six inches and the tread effectively balls up at the front of the contact patch. That compression of the tire expands the contact patch to almost 250 square inches—larger than two side-by-side sheets of 8.5-by-11-inch paper. The compression of the tire also means that the final-drive ratio is effectively shortened for a harder launch. By the time the tire has released the torque stored in its wrinkled sidewalls and tread and grown back to its original size, the Top Fueler is already pulling more than 4.00 g's of acceleration.
>After the car launches, inertia grows the tire to as much as 38 inches in diameter, simultaneously lengthening and narrowing the contact patch. This effectively lets the final-drive ratio grow taller for higher speeds and reduces rolling resistance as the vehicle hits terminal velocity.
Electrics going for maximum acceleration usually don't do that, because once the wheel is spinning relative to the pavement, friction is reduced and there's less acceleration. Watch videos of Teslas in launch mode.
This is not something we plan to do in the near future, but it’s also not outside the realm of possibility. We picked Postgres because of its power, quality and unparalleled extensibility, but we are also very careful to not leak any implementation details into our interfaces.
> EdgeDB does not treat Postgres as a simple standard SQL store. The opposite is true. To realize the full potential of the graph-relational model and EdgeQL efficiently, we must squeeze every last bit of functionality out of PostgreSQL's implementation of SQL and its schema.
I don't see how this and what you're saying can both be true at the same time. Is EdgeDB tightly coupled to the implementation of PostgreSQL, or isn't it? Is there really a chance that EdgeDB could support other databases, or not really? I don't think there's anything wrong with the answers being "yes" and "no", respectively; that's actually what I'd expect. It would be more unusual to try to do this in an implementation-agnostic way.
I think what they mean by this is that EdgeDB's query language should not be coupled to Postgres, but EdgeDB itself should use Postgres specific SQL features to maximise performance - so you couldn't drop in MariaDB without changing code in EdgeDB, but in theory you could write another backend that takes the same queries and uses MariaDB or MongoDB or something custom under the hood.
You can drag edges, but it doesn't seem to have a concept of a "square" beyond the tool itself. So after you've placed it, you can't move individual shapes around. The select works more like a text-editor's highlighter than something like the lasso tool in draw.io
My first thought is this would be a great chores list for parents to set up for kids. Does it have "flag flipped at x'oclock" type logging? An option to require/allow an image, or flag-creator-approval would be cool too.
Yes it shows 'last updated x ago'. It also allows to create 'only me can change' flags for flags you want to be the only one who can change, others will only have a 'read only' access.
Are there any themes that change when linting/tests are passing? I think it would be fun to add a glow to your text if everything is working well. Or only add glow to areas where you have code coverage.
