Yikes. Was your manager previously a software engineer or did he come from a different background?

I love the idea of it being culturally okay to walk out on any meeting that isn’t adding value in the middle of the meeting. If that was culturally acceptable in my role, I would go to a fourth of the meetings I currently attend.

You assume that IP once created stands on its own. The programming as theory building view suggests that IP will degrade once people who have robust mental models about how the IP was created and works. So software/IP in essence has tw

Same thing is happening with the Figure One robot. There isn't much new in the demo Figure did recently, all the work has been published in the palm saycan paper and other deepmind papers. Google is good at laying golden eggs and not r

What has he built other than peddling his books and courses that we use on a daily basis? I don’t know if he meets the bar of an exemplary engineer by that standard. Coders at work was a far better resource in that regard, every person that

So you’re saying sovereign immunity is good because that’s how the legislation was created. Since it wasn’t designed to deal with emergency, it’s okay to not update the position on sovereign immunity?

I, for one, am glad that Ilya has the reins on OpenAI and that Sam is out of the picture. It does seem that he weighs the ethics of what is being built more heavily than Sam. I’m also hoping that OpenAI cools down on the regulatory moat the

There’s a fun phrase in “A philosophy of software design” describing such engineers, they’re called Tactical Torpedos.

Sounds like a really good leader. Looking back at my response, I realize I was somewhat unclear. I meant that most individual contributors are expected to do prepare a lot of slides so management can understand what’s going on and it very m

A strange legacy. Most of the management in my company cannot digest even simple information if it’s not on PowerPoint slides. Even when it is on preparing PowerPoint slides, text heavy slides are a big no no. Some days, more time is spent

I’m in a different city in California now, working for the same company I used to in the Bay Area. The office is empty at 6 pm here. In the Bay Area most people stayed till at least 7 pm, some till 9 pm regularly. While I agree that this te

Lived in the Bay Area for a few years. Do not miss the work culture, especially people around me graciously donating free extra work hours to companies worth billion/trillion dollars and expecting others to do the same.

If you’re downvoting, please also explain your arguments and contribute to the discussion. I think it is more beneficial if we talk instead of shutting people down because their views are different than what you expect.

I just wish there were better studies done on the effects of msg but the pendulum has swung in the other direction. Initially bad science came out of xenophobia, now questioning msg is seen as xenophobic. My wife gets really bad headaches a

It does feel like overreach to me as well. It is a FAANG and they have great lawyers. I hope to never be in a legal kerfuffle with them but regardless I should read more about what they can enforce. The hilarious thing about their no open s

This sounds like good advice. My current employer does not allow me to write technical blogs or have public git repos even if they’re unrelated to work and when done on my own time with my own resources. Sigh.
