If I were going to make a gambling analogy, I'd imagine a casino game as follows: draw a card from a standard playing card deck. If it's a spade you lose. Otherwise you win. For any one hand you may win or lose, but on average you

> your reviews are there to check someone has done their job well enough then you have bigger problems Welcome to working with real people. They go off the rails and ignore everything you’ve agreed to during design because they get lazy

I feel that fit and comfort is an incredibly personal thing, but the weight was always fine for me - their design spreads it out pretty well. The killer feature for me is the deep ear cups. All the Sony headphones touch my Dumbo-sized ears

- there was nothing like the supercharger network - All of the other options made a painful trade off on cost or range or something else. Tesla was the only one that had both range and was (to some degree) affordable without being compromis

Teslas have a lot of flaws, but there is just now starting to be real competition. There was nothing like the model 3 in 2019. Tesla did well because they were first to market with a disruptive product people wanted, and because Elon sold i

No, it’s Amazon. If a senior blocks the slop they will be told they are not disagreeing and committing enough. If bugs get through they will be told they didn’t dive deep enough. It’s classic Amazon blame game. Someone gets left holding the

Medical industry seems like the safest for keeping high-paying white collar jobs. Engineering and legal are likely to get disrupted. Knowing my interests now, I’d probably go into flight school and try to become a commercial pilot.

I also think in this analog, developers who are already architects are in the best place to ride out the wave of change, but long term the industry will have to figure out a way to fill the pipeline so some journeyman system will emerge. If

I'm curious what our industry looks like in 10 years as well. I like the architecture analogy. An architect is not really focused on doing the actual building of a design, but understanding what's possible, what tools and techniqu

I usually open up technical questions with a disclaimer like “I reserve the right to tell you that you can’t use a library or similar if I think it makes the problem too easy”. Like it’s a make believe problem and it’s something you can fin

“Good answer! Now, assume we’re in a regulatory environment where we can’t use Google for legal reasons, and must develop a solution in house. With that new constraint, how would you solve the problem?”

Fantastic value proposition. For most of the non-tech people in my life, I'd now recommend a base MacBook Neo + base iPhone 17 + AirPods Pro 3. Students may want to throw in a base iPad and an Apple Pencil. Splurge on the higher end ve

Thunderbolt would presumably make it much more expensive, the spec has a ton of USB features that go from “optional” to “required” to be able to go into TBT alt mode, like supporting active cables

This reminds me of when people say “I can’t believe developers use VS Code, real developers use vim/emacs” It’s a tool, a means to an end. I just want my tool to be easy to use and work. Another analogy would be cars: do you tune and m

Amazon's stake in Anthropic is (was?) worth $61 billion. https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-ai-bet-anthropic-soar... It will be interesting to see how they handle this.

Example: Perhaps "Amazon US Services LLC" or whichever subsidiary they have that deals with the government will be banned from using Claude, and all of it's other subsidiaries won't? https://www.sec.gov/A

That $961 billion includes things like airplanes and bullets, tech companies are only getting a taste of that pie not anywhere close to the whole thing.

Companies change (remember "don't be evil"?) but yeah for the Anthropic of today, respect.

FWIW Google Gemini is currently like the Google of old - the search pretty much always finds what I want with no b.s.. I’m sure someday it will be aggressively monetized and enshitified but enjoying it while it lasts.

I strongly look forward to it being 5 years from now and having "what the software industry looks like with AI factored in" question settled. I'm tired of the uncertainty in our industry. With the changes to the H1B in the US

Thank you for the information. My fun little narrative is in shambles :(

I'd be amused beyond all reason if we saw this chain of events: - Anthropic says "no" - DoD says "ok you're a supply chain risk" (meaning many companies with gov't contracts can no longer use them) - A bun

Yeah. I would happily pay $100 for a typora that supports iOS and encrypted folders. Bear is my fallback on iOS, but I much prefer some of the themes available for Typora, and simple files in folders over tagging.

Typora is where it’s at!

This is the phone version of saying “the power utility is an evil awful monopoly that treats me like shit, so I’m gonna get solar and batteries and go off grid.” It’s cool it’s possible, but it’s not practical for most people.
