Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,
I'm doing a training course at work and promised I would list some of the books on progressive leadership I have found useful. Here they are in alphabetical order.
I love Pixar movies. They have so very rarely fallen below the benchmark of excellent. Not only are they classic stories in their own right, they are also technical marvels. How does an organisation like Pixar maintain such a successful track record? How does it manage to be hugely commercially successful and critically acclaimed, too? Few studios can lay claim to staying so true to their art, especially when the stakes are so high, with the contemporary movies having typically having a budget in excess of $200 million. In this book, Ed Catmull explains how.
One of my favourite chapters, The Hungry Beast and the Ugly Baby, tells of how Pixar has to carefully balance the tension of feeding the "hungry beast" (that is, keeping the business going) with the need to generate and try new ideas, that enter the world a

![If you want to wake at 6am, when should you go to sleep?][sleepy_crop]
I have a love-hate relationship with sleep. I love sleeping and I hate not getting enough. I naturally lean towards being a late [chronotype][chronotype] - a night owl. I tend to stay up late and rise late, yet I don't find this rhythm to be particularly productive. I used to get a second wind - or just one long wind - throughout the afternoon and into the late evening, but not any more. Now I'm older, I find I run out of mental steam sooner and end up spinning my wheels. If I'm particularly tired, my eyes will droop and I'll be nodding at the keyboard. Most importantly, a tired person who is grouchy because he didn't achieve what he wanted during the day is no good when an ebullient daughter wants to play. That I am present for my daughter is as important as any work, so I need to pace my energy.
To compound this problem, if I get out of bed early and really do not get enough sleep, I run out of steam much earlier and it can disrupt t
