   When I was this way there were two things going on 1. It was one of the most stressful times in my life 2. I didn't know I had sleep apnea so was always exhausted 2 was a much quicker fix than 1 and boy did it makes things much more ma

   There was a physicist who made a video making fun of crackpot theories from engineers and reading the comments we're all happy to put forth our completely unsubstantiated opinions with zero understanding of the math and observations in

   And then one of the iterations was asking additional ways llms could be used and then adding some of those as content which seems odd but plausibly helpful brainstorming. Just the phrasing of the original question makes it sound like thing

   I agree wholeheartedly with your last point. Pretenders are so easily seen by word choice and phrasing alone and yet these valueless additions are accepted and not immediately called out because it's not polite to call out. For example

   Yes but by your definition then it's weight without balance and weight with balance. The first one can't be fixed without removing weight. The second one can be fixed by adding more weight with the total weight not being the cause

   This is an interesting idea thanks! I realize mine (by coincidence) do something similar but it's in two day stretches. They want to play Minecraft sometimes but other times they want to go play outside or play with their toys or watch

   I'm what you described 100%. I wonder if there's a different type of multitasking term that describes this because I swear it's a thing Multitasking two coding problems at once completely doesn't work for me but what you

    I have experienced most of what you have written about and have taken many similar steps :) The major difference being I would describe myself still at the level of a juniorish engineer. My only addition and I'm very curious as to your

    I used to think this same thing but I went down a rabbit hole a few months ago listening to people very critical of string theory like angela collier, sabbine, eric weinstein, peter woit and some others on youtube. Yeah they all have their

    I'm assuming Azure has less of the culture but I haven't personally experienced it. Mostly my thought is the old culture is much stronger in the older orgs. They seem to be trying to change it but the change is really just superfi

    I'm sure I'm biased but the old school pm culture at Microsoft is still alive and well. The new hires are forced to play the old stupid games of doing anything to get the metrics to show what they want in the short term and the cy

    I'd love to hear from someone knowledgeable in the area but my gut instinct was the majority of people / organizations signing on to that 'pause' just wanted to catch up.

    probably a hot take but microsoft's product and pm culture is garbage leftover from the microsoft's anti customer era and is most entrenched in windows and other old orgs

    Multiple sources can hardly be considered an effective bar to decide if something as a whole is good or bad for you. The author completely misses major pieces of literature around these and citing something that is critical for you body as

    Thanks for sharing 'distraction is just running away from a feeling.' It puts my experience into words succinctly without giving a root cause to why I might feel that feeling. Separately sometimes I can find a period of my life th

    I think this hits the nail on the head. People are learning the meritocracy they were taught growing up isn't real so why would they work 80 hour weeks for a 25% bonus instead of a 10-15% bonus. The calculus gets even worse when the bo
