Many in tech value brutal honesty, but people often focus more on the brutality than the honesty, making them defensive. Instead, aim to be “direct yet kind.” Start with curiosity and a desire to help before offering criticism.

When others see empathy in your words, your feedback is more effective.

I wrote a letter to Jan-Marco Luczak, the CDU Spitzenkandidat in Berlin, member of the Bundestag and candidate in my district of Tempelhof Schoneberg.

We do not defeat fascists by wearing their clothes.

Please share.

Oops I signed up like a week ago and I haven’t posted anything yet. So here, have some recycled content!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is complaining about his job, inaudible because Green is not paying attention. Green has his eyes closed, meditating instead. Green: I must not suggest solutions. Solutions are the vent-killer. I will face the vent. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has passed, I will see its path, and there will be nothing. Only we will remain. Blue has reached the end of his string of complaints, looking at Green with a frown as he finishes. Green looks at him, deeply focused. Blue: ...And that is why my job sucks. Green: Yes.
