‘Measuring Nothing (With Great Accuracy)’

seths.blog/2014/01/measuring-nothing-with-great-accuracy/

Seth Godin back in 2014:

You can’t tell if a book is any good by the number of words it contains, even though it’s quite easy and direct to measure this.

(Vis-à-vis my sidenote over the weekend about Apple refusing to publish mAh battery specs for iPhones.)

I am stunned that we are still finding new species of cat in 2026. “The analysis revealed that the sanctuary cat belonged to a previously unrecognized species whose lineage split from its relatives about 1.4 million years ago.”

White Squirrels of Olney

Olney, Illinois is your quintessential Midwestern small town. It’s in the middle of farm country - a place you might drive right past. But people do stop, and they come for one thing: squirrels. But for how long?

Quoting voxium

It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude.

WorkOS: How SSO Works and the Fastest Way to Add It

workos.com/guide/the-developers-guide-to-sso?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q32026

My thanks to WorkOS for sponsoring this last week — a big week — at DF.

SSO is table stakes for enterprise deals, but building it into your app yourself means writing SAML controllers, parsing XML assertions, and handling IdP-specific quirks for each provider. Learn how SAML flows work, the tradeoffs between building or buying, and best practices for security, routing, and UX.

Or, skip the hassle and add SSO with WorkOS. Read their developer’s guide to learn more.
