I totally expected this to be a joke where the site was blank.
I haven't worked with C++ for years, and it's nice to see there really has been some progress improving some of the C++ parts.

The article is incredibly misleading. Python Enums are way more powerful than what is showcased there.
First, rudimentary/basic enums are as simple as instance variables on a class and allow super-helpful IDE "auto-completion" that doesn't necessitate the use of magic-strings to at least "set" the enum. I've been using this ridiculously simple trick since 2.5 ten years ago. Magic-strings are bad, and even worse when you have a disparate code-base in a dynamically typed language. Example:
class MyEnum(object):
Pass = 1
Fail = 2
my_value = MyEnum. <-- at this point, the IDE gives you code-completion.
class MyEnum(Enum):
Pass = 1
Fail = 2
def my_func(did_they_pass: MyEnum):
if did_they_pass.Something: # IDE / type-checker will go nuts here.
print("Something")
Python 4... It's just going to be Haskell.
Safari is cool, but for the same price I've found some Pilots to be much better. And if you are willing to spend a tiny bit more there are tons of good options.
I really like Lamy 2000, though.
Lamy 2000 is so amazingly smooth. I really like having the piston fill, instead of cartridges and adapters. There's more ink, and it's more reliable with less fuss and mess.

Anyone have an example of taking a low functioning team to a high functioning one? Building trust, changing culture.
It's one thing to just say "here's the ideal". And another to say if you're in a sub-optimal place, "just leave."
But how to change a poor habit place into a good habit place.
I don't think bad habits really go away, they get drowned out by the better habits. I think the same is true of teams. But, IMHE, improvement has been hard to come by.
I'd love to hear your stories.
I'd like to see some approval test infrastructure here as well, q.v. https://approvaltests.com/
Being able to have a customer accept what the output looks like and then listening to when the page changes would be great for giving non-technical people control over passing tests.

He doesn't seem to understand tags and links in evernote. Evernote can absolutely be structured as a flat graph in the way that he describes as a big benefit of Roam.
That said, as a long-term evernote user, I've been wanting to leave for a while and move to an OSS/self-hosted solution. It might be joplin but my few attempts to use it I haven't yet had enough time to evaluate whether it would be a viable long-term solution.
Edit: I'm also seriously considering just using https://github.com/Alok/notational-fzf-vim and only doing note-taking on my laptop (not on mobile). It's extremely fast and basically zero friction. This would have a slight downside in that I quite often want to consume notes on the go so I may need to find an option there (eg serve my notes up using a private server or something).
Have you considered vimwiki http://vimwiki.github.io/?
Can't they just charge a lot more? Like $10million per ad?
It's a surcharge to avoid political ads, but hey Mr. Bloomberg, if you need to get attention... we will collect your money.
What would they do with this extra money? Fund open source foundations?
...wait... is $10Million too low? Is there that much money in politics?

The only defense social humans have is really to detect them. Watch for their inability to feel empathy.
Ask them to tell a joke. Do they do it right?
