• Hey! I made a small python script to periodically change the desktop background on Ubuntu 20.04LTS

  Here are prior HN posts on micromanagement, you tell us: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=micromanagement > "I try to communicate with my team..." This feels weird, when you ask them directly "Why did this milestone get missed, when it seemed on-track?", what are they telling you? Do they have other priorities and tasks from other managers? Else, what is going on? If you ask the other managers, what do they tell you? - Source: Hacker News / about 3 hours ago
