Friday Links 26-33

Two weeks of links and quite a few urbanism ones, mostly about the new Oxford Street. I recommend the podcast about the “fat bikes” ban in the Netherlands. The engineering articles about Coding Alone and small-change code reviews are very good too. Quote of the Week How does a manager motivate his subordinates? For most of us, the word implies doing something to another person. But I don’t think that can happen, because motivation has to come from within somebody. Accordingly, all a manager can do is create an environment in which motivated people can flourish. High Output Management Andrew S. Grove Leadership Interview with Eric Ries: AI, Founder Mode, and Why Good Companies Go Bad - “MVPs are still misunderstood, even after 15 years” - this won’t change, ever.
