> Hey, Z, how's it going? People have had "weird" or out of the norm nicknames forever. Where do you think nicknames come from?

What happens when your engineer realizes they can make 10x more at another company? They leave and work stops. You then hire someone else or raise your pay to get better, more reliable engineers. The analogies keep going because AI is a too

Open your wallet and pay someone who can? We used to call those technical cofounders, right?

Formatters and linters fix the mistakes made by people who know what they're doing. They do nothing to teach someone how to do something for the first time in a way that supports comprehension, only regurgitation.

Help desks and canned replies - if a user complains about X, respond with Y. We used to just have humans do it, but turns out machines can do that bit, too, especially if the question is relatively simple or asked a lot or has an answer not

I'm kind of feeling similarly, albeit I've been a Lifetime holder for a while now. So on the other side of the coin is what it would take for me to finally leave. In retrospect, Plex has probably been work $750 for the way I'

I disagree it's a cop-out, but I agree it's hard to get good at writing prompts and takes a lot of effort. But so is programming. We're trading one skill set for another and getting a bigger return on it. I started as a skept

You're right, I didn't, because that isn't the measure of his leadership, which was my whole point. > All that matters seems to be "did the line go up?" Exactly.

Is Zuckerberg retiring already? I'd gladly same the same about him then. But this isn't about any of those companies.

I'm not going to argue your wants with you because they are your own. Don't buy Apple products if you don't like the way they operate as a company. I don't particularly care for appeasing the administration, either, but

It is so easy to sit on and critique from the sidelines. Steve Jobs had a passion for product, and it showed - he pushed the teams to make things he approved of, and that was the measure. Tim Cook had a passion for growth, and as the articl

That adds up over time, though, and it works in reverse. AI will always be able to read and write faster than a person can. You may be able to write the script, but in the time it would take to /literally/ write it, you're on

I feel very torn between the “make something” or “buy a Slylight” decision, so I’m curious what makes it better in your eyes, so much so that you don’t think it’s worth attempting anymore. I’m struggling to justify a monthly fee for what I

Its presence on Hacker News and Reddit tells you that the folks who use Hacker News and Reddit are fed up with the keyboard. Most people don't care. Tech nerds do, and that's not nothing, but it's not necessarily a majority e

No it doesn't. I live in a planned neighborhood in the suburbs. I can walk to a branch of my local library, a few restaurants, a bar, a bookstore, I even get my haircut in my neighborhood. And even if none of that existed, nothing has

I've been playing with a toy app that dabbles in the Cal/CardDAV space, and it blows my mind that for all the power latest generation languages have, the thing I keep coming back to is PHP-based Sabre/DAV. That's not to

It's not only not how you get promoted, it's a pretty good way to get canned as well. If you don't like the work you're being asked to do, your options are pretty limited to doing it or going elsewhere. There are a milli

Tim Cook, or any CEO, is accountable to the shareholders, so job well done it seems. It's still the user's choice if they want to live in the walled garden or not, and lots of people do, so why would they change it?

I'm in the middle and lean loyal, but the younger folks probably got it right. There's no more IBM of the 1960s loyalty to be had from the company's perspective, so why not go out and make what you can while you can. No more

If Disney could throw concepts at their properties like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Paw Patrol or any of their other CG shovel content (which my kid loves, of course) and have a new episode every day of the year, they would, and this lets the

I think the little tears were fine, but my expectation of the weight of the cloth wasn't so much that it would start to rip on its own after a certain point. It felt more like a wet dough at a certain point than cloth.

If there was a market for those vehicles, they'd exist. The folks you asked either didn't buy them when they had the chance or don't make up enough of the market to justify the truck.

Frame it as the safety of the vaccine, not the efficacy of it. If it was about efficacy, it would lead with the 25% lower risk because of COVID safety. But, these days, there are people who think vaccines are dangerous just because, so sayi

I've felt similarly recently, and I think those days are fleeting if not gone. Ford recently talked about replatforming their entire range, which would include basic trucks at more reasonable prices, but there's not really a marke
