Just One Perspective
Приєднався 27 лип 2020
Formerly known as "Vigilant Citizen", Just One Perspective is exactly that, and no more -- except on occasion when I invite a guest!
A Tale of Two Developers
Consider for a moment two developers with very different approaches to their work and a life lesson we can extract from them.

Is the Internet the End of Innovation?
Michael Crichton was a very clever man. (Sighs) I miss him.
Have you read any of "his" novels after his passing? I put "his" in quotes because I think his estate took unfinished manuscripts/ideas and hired other authors to flesh them out. I tried one and was disappointed. Looking back I should have expected that to happen.
@@just1perspective I've read a few. Micro, Pirate Lattitudes and Dragon Teeth. It's bittersweet reading them. Especially Micro, knowing he didn't finish them the way he intended.
This is so true sometimes people want estimations to feel safe. If thats the case you shouldn't bloat the overall project and the estimation with unnecessary details
well said, what has been your biggest challenge to incorporating someone new with your team's culture?
Sometimes the biggest challenge is helping them get a platform and a voice with the other teammates. People can get stuck in their ways, so asking the current team members to be open-minded with new ideas can be an uphill battle.
a lot of time there is an issue with managers that dont know jack shit about programming, and basically parrot whatever the lastest trend has been and only care about spreadsheet stats. there is a good blog by ludic, named "your organization probably doesn't want to improve things". i found it a nice read, its about the manager-employee dynamic, and it justifies sometimes ignoring managers under specific circumstances, so thats why i disagree with the ignoring the boss part. i mean, if the boss tells you to do something and then lets you do it, thats absolutely ok, but if the boss keeps disturbing your workflow by having meetings every hour to track the progress or something every hour or so, it justified to ignore the boss for some time and even skip on some of these meetings
It's a fair point, and I do levy some similar expectations of bosses in a previous video: ua-cam.com/video/BiGPVApKV_4/v-deo.html
That's not how life works, under capitalism
I don't know how the algorithm sent your channel to me, but here we are. I am a boomer and was a part of the beginning of social media. There were AOL chats first. Then, my space and Facebook were created for college students to connect. I never quite dabbled on Facebook. I do have family members who constantly tag me, and I may or may not abide. It's all about choices. When I saw the "Don't tread on me" revolutionary snake, then your camouflage hat, along with the American flag directly behind you, I sensed something political. Maybe it's just below your surface. Anyway, what I gleaned from you is that you had a negative experience that pulled you in and affected either job, family, or friends, and you removed yourself for lack of direct physical contact. I could be mistaken. Anyway, moving on.❤
Thank you for stopping by and offering your perspective. :)
@@just1perspective ❤️
Also meant to add that I really appreciate you taking the time to share your initial impressions when first clicking on the video. You may have noticed this particular one was recorded several years ago and I've definitely been working on the overall appearance as the channel has evolved.
Good ole Tom Hanks. Great advice as usual!
6. Do the tasks as required and to the best of your ability.
Hey, its good to see you back. Hope we get more soon. By the way nice beard.
happy to see you back.
Great video and really great counsel! I'll be sharing this during my weekly 'Managers Minutes' presentations, at work. These 5 tips will help a lot of good people trying to figure management out.
Thanks, Jeremy! I am very glad to hear that and would love to hear what kind of feedback you receive.
We have some of our best conversations when we sit down to a whiskey after a night of gaming
What kind of gaming? Board, video, poker, something else?
Man I miss doing this with my bro.
Conan is my favorite fantasy figure with Tarzan a close second. Robert E. Howard was literally a genius and dreamed amazing dreams.
He was also friends with H.P. Lovecraft which is pretty cool!
Any tips on attaining mental resilience that helps you navigate life's curveballs? Any resources (books, videos, etc.) you'd like to share to that effect?
If only I were half as cool! ;)
@@richarddeleon4786what does that book have anything to do with the comment
Jarvis for President! He can articulate himself very well! Cheers
If only that damn human would stop interrupting him!
I haven't had much to say lately -- unusual, I know! -- hence the gap in time between videos. As always, thanks for stopping by, and I would love to hear from you so feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments below or send me an e-mail. I'd love to respond in an upcoming video!
Utterly clueless.
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts/counterpoints, feel free to post them here.
Ok: I text you!
Can you imagine if everyone did this how far we would go as a society? Gal 5:22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,[a] 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
You need to get some other people's perspective on things.
Hit a little close to home, did it? 🤣
@@just1perspective no, sweetheart, I understand that there are different kinds of people in the world and that what I think and like isn't gospel.
@@alexandertiberius1098 Excellent! That is a level of self-awareness that few achieve. The next step is to learn how to communicate it.
@@just1perspective including yourself, it would seem. And hey, at least those bumper sticker people aren't looking for whatever it is they're looking for in something ridiculous like religion.
I mean the same could be said to that guy that still wearing Metallica shirts past 25 but yeahhhhh
Hey, the shirt matches the shelves. Odd timing. I was listening to a news postcast talking about nostalgia like Ducktails, Ghostbusters, the transformer movies, and other types of reboots. Companies trying to get older people to buy in and entice a new generation as well. But for the entire podcast all I could think about was how much worse the reboots were and how they've wrecked entire series by doing this and just not being able to recapture the old magic. Interesting times happy new year. Oh and nostalgia only is sad for me in that things aren't better in those areas. They are worse and maybe you're right those days are gone. I should just let'em go.
I didn't specifically mention movies or entertainment in this video but that was certainly on my mind. Writers and directors who grew up in the 80s and 90s do seem to be trying to capture that nostalgia, maybe for themselves as much as their dwindling audience, but they are horribly failing.
I've known a few people who love to swing the hammer of truth, but do so out of arrogance or even revenge. All they've accomplished is to isolate themselves and break relationships, even though their words were generally correct. They end up looking like jerks, even to people on their own side. Sometimes you're not given a lot of options, but every situation is different, every person is different, and I think true wisdom is in assessing the situation and figuring out a response that will cause people to listen and think. Sometimes the hammer will do that - but more often (at least in my experience), it just heightens emotions and makes things worse.
Well put -- couldn't have said it better myself.
Fuck me, you're right!
Whoa now
💯
This is one of my biggest problems. My expectations are too high for most situations.
It's a weird dichotomy. You don't want to lower your standards but sometimes it makes sense to lower your expectations.
Bro petting his cat like Dr.Evil😭💀
Mwahaha
@@just1perspective Mashalah to you as well btother
I wish you were on a fast the day you thought of posting this
I'm glad the video I sent you helped. Sometime the most unseeming of things can have a profound impact on us.
Wow, I'm glad your 1 hour and 14 minute video wasn't entirely about how to drink whiskey. That kind of complexity would have forced me to switch to vodka. You two hit some interesting topics, I appreciate your combined insight.
Thanks Bill. :) If we had spent an hour and 14 minutes drinking whiskey it probably would have been the last video.
Great topic! This is probably my favorite video of yours. It's important to remember that peoples' personalities are the products of their life experiences. I.e, it's not for us to judge. Thanks for the reminder and putting things into perspective!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback -- after I recorded this one I went back and forth on posting it because I felt like it was a bit of a dud. I'm glad I uploaded it anyway because as you just proved you never know the effect it'll actually have.
I can't tell if you're a Beau of the Fifth Column type, or something else..
I'll admit I hadn't heard of that channel. Seems like he discusses national politics on the regular, which is something I intend to avoid here.
@@just1perspective Fair enough, he has some interesting perspectives himself!
Really like in the new format and the name. But you did say stay vigilant at the end referencing the old channel I'm not sure if you want to keep going with that or you're just getting used to the new channel or name.
I appreciate your perspective. :)
I have just one perspective- "NOISE ORDANANCE!" t-shirt. Take my money.
Just wanted add a quick comment on perception or how things are perceived. there's also the ability to not perceive things correctly as they truly are. For example if something is stuck into water it becomes disjointed to your site and sometimes it may even bend or change the way it looks and that is not what really is happening. Again I would point people to Renee Decart and discourse of the method because he again goes over something like this and over the years I think the water example has been used by many people to describe how our perception of reality may not be what's "true"
Oh also great job on getting over 200 subscribers and over a 100 views on that last video you're starting to get up there.
Well you already know that I want the just one perspective I agree with "Great Scott".
I understand your point that "Vigilant Citizen" may not reflect your content as well, but it's the only one among your proposals that would catch my attention in a flood of UA-cam recommendations. It tells me immediately that the channel is going to be one of substance rather than some random time-wasting internet fluff.
My vote: Just One Perspective. E pluribus unum!
Dad here! I vote with you brother
Brethren you are a blessing , NUFFLOVE always 🍀☘️🌴
Do we have civic duties anymore? Jeremy brought up John Wayne saying it was your civic duty to sign up for the draft - but do we have anything like that anymore that is socially accepted as right for us as a people?
Buy some wasp killer. It's safer and faster.
Stick a fork in the U.S. of A. We will be in a civil war sooner than we think 🤔
It's also very helpful for those who have not interviewed in a long time! Thanks Josh!
Ouch 😳 I thought I taught you boys not to fight unless you have to! Because nobody really wins everybody hurts!
Hi Kepler and Jarvis....
woof
I should be watching on Rumble. This was definitely a well timed message for me though!
Libraries all have their own apps that you can download, then you put in your library card information, and check out audio books, or ebooks. Usually you get about three weeks. I highly recommend checking it out.
