I can't take mark zuckerberg seriously anymore. He's made so many missteps recently: meta-verse, meta-glasses, llama, hiring wang, meta reality labs, etc. He should probably hire a proper "number 2" (not someone politica

The iphone + fb/instagram = kids spending more time on the screen than irl Since, youth suicide, depression, anxiety, etc have hit record levels. Coincides with the smart phone adoption and negative emotion graphs.

Near zero interest rates + COVID remote work + PPP loans = Booming economy What is happening now is the unwinding of the above. Now its: Higher rates + AI + too many SWEs (bootcamps and over-hiring) = Busting economy I think what we are in

Fair. Last time I tried to daily Linux was 2016 with a crappy dell I had laying around, and I am pretty sure that I did not know what I was doing. I have been on Mac since 2012 and I tried windows in 2019 only to regret it, then went back t

I am a big fan of the command line, but running linux as my daily driver is like trying to daily a kit car -- it breaks all the time and i spend more time than i want fixing it. With macos, i get my beloved command line, nice hardware, and

Quite the opposite -- you get promoted for complexity and inefficiency, and pretending like you are the only SME who can handle it, thus creating a dependency between you and your manager. A good technical manager can see this coming a mile

Alex Karp has publicly supported Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. His company did work with the government before Trump, and you probably never had a problem with it until now. Palantir always worked with the military, but I doubt you car

Insufferable. Consider that more than 50% of your fellow American citizens voted for the man you hate, and you will have to work with them no matter what. That's called "democracy." Its childish to avoid that truth.

This is so lame. Don't judge employees for what their CEOs do bc they do not have a choice in the matter. That resume you toss might be someone that needs to pay a mortgage, has a sick wife, or autistic kid that needs the insurance. Or

They saw other successful AI products with discords (like midjourney) and then they probably just copied the idea thinking they would get similar success from it. That's a lot of what big corp america strategy boils down to -- copy you

Yeah, that's why I do not install these tools on my personal devices anymore and instead play with them on a VPS. Try this if you have claude code -- ls -a your home dir and see all the garbage claude creates.

I work at a company that is forcing us to use AI as much as possible for our coding work. I did 1 month's of work in 1 day last week. A few hiccups, but the slop works as expected. From where I sit, the hype is real.

And yet the dow jones just passed 50K, an ATH. That makes no sense...unless the economy is an a sort of death spiral where companies layoff employees, then stock goes, then companies layoff more, then stock goes up, so on and so forth. Ouro
