    Yep, the one driving factor in the mass adoption of any new technology, especially when it comes to media consumption, is convenience. All other factors, like quality, cost, or restrictions (like DRM or availability) are secondary. This has played out the same in every single format war, from Laser Disc, VHS, DVD, cassette, vinyl, MP3, torrents, and streaming services. If you can make something more convenient than what came before, you win.








  • We have Andrew Christian, Aussiebum, Box, and oh so many more brands. But the main difference is comfort and style.

    Need a bigger pouch? We have you covered. Do you get a little clammy down there? Try separate pouches for the bells and whistle. Want to show off? We have the push up bra of underwear. Do you like to walk around the house in your underwear but you have nowhere to put your phone? We have hipster shorts with pockets!

    Gay underwear is just superior to the smalls most straight guys wear. They’re also more colourful and attractive. Why should women be the only ones wearing nice undergarments?





  • Until recently I worked for a big telecoms company as a software engineer. We had time set aside for self development and non-work projects. Originally it was half a day a week, but we found it better to be a day every fortnight.

    You could learn a new programming language or tool, build something just for fun or something you thought was useful for the team (we built a custom dashboard with notices etc., a quiz engine for weekly quizzes), or add functionality to a project that wasn’t specced or requested, but you thought could add value.

    After a while, a department wide code wars league was set up to challenge and learn, we had a yearly Easter egg hunt that involved solving puzzles to find prizes, people did lightning talks to teach things that they’d learnt, workshops, etc.

    So much knowledge, skill and confidence was added to the team that was worth way more than what we’d do on any normal day. I’d recommend it to any technical team to try something similar.
