This is a microcosm for enshittification writ large. If no one cares about your individual complaint you’re fucked. Only in numbers do consumers wield any power. The 48 Laws of Power says, “what is unseen counts for nothing.” So make it see

I would like a book recommendation for the things I don’t know please (Sarcasm but seriously)… A senior dev mentioned a “class invariant” the other day And I just had no idea what that was because I’ve never been exposed to it… So I suppose

The way to differentiate oneself is to know and understand the details, and what is actually happening, I think. Applications are messy whether they run on bare metal or in the cloud. If you truly understand what’s going on at a deeper leve

What are you purporting not to understand? It seems you’re fighting your own straw man.

My point is that I think that the author is lying. I think that he read the book, took many of the ideas (e.g., truth seeking), pawned them off as his own novel ideas, and explicitly did not give attribution which I think is extremely weird

But there IS this? > [13] Not a reference to the book, which I haven’t read — this is just a phrase I use Seems to me an unwillingness to cite / give proper attribution to Annie Duke and the book, which is super weird? At any rate I

I was really enjoying the article until I realized there is zero attribution to the book _Thinking in Bets_, which IMO this is obviously heavily influenced by.

Same/similar happened to me. I literally had to turn up in person at LinkedIn’s London office to get support to unlock my account. Based on their reaction, it did not seem like I was the first to do this.

Love this. I have a young one I am thinking of letting get involved in the Minecraft scene (I think far less exploitative than Roblox?). How does one get started? What console are you using? Or PC? How do I enable mods? And who is Mojang?

I am not making points to expand on how I agree.. I am a elaborating on the benefits of having more senior colleagues around. The benefit is not that they watch you and correct you. Indeed, the mentee must drive their own learning. The real
