Regardless of whether Dunning-Kruger is real the solution is the same. DK concerns poor performing people who cannot accurately address their performance relative to a group. Forget DK. The bigger problem is missing objectivity, which is

I can tell you about being a 10xer imposter. Unless you are on a team building new products, new as original code and not some framework/SAAS with new branding, the goal is almost universally compatibility and not productivity. Hyper-p

I think people wish AI would succeed, especially in software, but this appears to be the only argument made. Numerically, AI still costs far more than it returns in value. Its a subscription service. Even if everybody is told they must a

These services do a couple of things: 1. They provide a VPN for your device to their server. 2. They then map that device to a public IPv4 address they own. The address is not static, but TailScale solves for that with internal DNS. 3. The

I have toyed around with Arch and I really believe you can accomplish almost everything with it when other distros just aren’t as ready or capable. I rely on Debian for my daily needs and forced it on my wife.
