Am I the only one who hopes my current job is my last job and AI will more or less wipe out software engineering as a profession by decade’s end? I love my job, but I can’t see myself doing it for the rest of my life. I have greater ambit

I wouldn’t want it to fall victim to the same phenomenon as running clubs—people just use it for dating. Men need a space of their own.

I have an idea for an organization for getting building close connections among men: The organization would connect men together and then those men with “chores” they could do within their neighborhood. Yeah, kind of like a free Task Rabbit

What I keep telling people is, if it becomes possible for one person or a handful of people to build and maintain a Google scale company, and my job gets eliminated as a result, then I’m going to go out and build a Google scale company. The

Yes, comparing to median household income is the right way to do this. CPI isn’t actually useful in this case.

There’s a big difference between tariffs on cars from China, and tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico. US car manufacturers produce and import lots and lots of intermediate goods from those two countries. Setting up tariffs on those

Ok, so it was not a hallucination. But still, this guy’s source: “I made it up”. It might as well have been written by AI. An article about a Twitter comment thread is the laziest, most useless form of “journalism” I can think of. Making so

I know Forbes is not known for its journalistic integrity, but this is some real garbage here. Where’s the “viral social media thread”? I tried to search for it, and couldn’t find anything. There’s nothing on the guy’s Twitter or LinkedIn.

The other part is that companies are much more willing to hire people if they know they can get rid of them if either that person ends up sucking or business starts to fall off. I believe it’s the case that in some places, bureaucrats can b

The thing you always need to keep in mind about CPI is that it’s a weighted average for the ENTIRE COUNTRY. Like, retirees in Florida who own their own homes have a very different relationship with prices than young renters in NYC. It reall

Now if only they could figure out how to allow charging the Magic Mouse while it’s being used. I guess that technology is still years away.

When you do this kind of stuff, you make American companies less competitive as a whole. If GM can get as good software for cheaper by outsourcing (granted, they almost certain cannot), then they should do it because that might help save te

Overconfidence. I had built some cool stuff, but I didn’t know much I didn’t know. So having interviews where I wouldn’t get any feedback left me in the dark about how far off I was. I’ve always had sterling reviews as long as I’ve been in

I went through a bootcamp at the end of 2014, then spent the next three years unable to get a job in tech. I didn’t have a paycheck for those three years. Triplebyte was my last ditch effort. I failed the online test the first time I took i

But the advantage to being blocked all the time is that you can then go find other places to add value. Having impact outside of your small team is huge when it comes to performance reviews and promotions, especially if it’s self driven. Bu

Bottled water has always been a disaster. I have to wonder how much underinvestment there’s been in municipal water infrastructure because rich people just buy expensive bottled water that’s been shipped from all over the world.

Typical Leftist dribble from the Guardian. Pretty much any case of giving jobs to poor people is “exploitation”.

The role of CEO is going to be different at every company. For many large companies, I imagine most of the role is managing relationships, both internal and external. You have very ambitious and accomplished heads of different divisions tha

I'm sorry but good public transit in the US isn't going to happen. Passenger rail has never been profitable anywhere since its very inception. With the rise of remote work, and declining ratios of working-age populations putting i
