Having heroes is always risky, but I'm willing to take the risk on Woz alone. "I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museum

Same as it ever was with "cloud" eh? The advantages of small-scale on-prem are never cost or quality, they are strictly privacy and sovereignty. No one can rug pull you with a week of Claude regressions. No one has access to your

This sounds like a good amount to show, given it's done while pushing through some daily million paper-cuts and the macro-cut of depression. I don't know as much about the former, but can attest the latter is non-trivial. Do you p

Frequently! It used to be tolerated (even encouraged) internally, and many people are pushing hard against such things all the time. These days it's a good way to get targeted for layoffs though, so I'm assuming our days are numbe

Believe it or not, I agree. I don't sleep particularly great, but I went in clear eyed that in the worst case I'd be helping a company that should not own "the next platform" attempt to do exactly that. But in the best c

This has been building with every layoff, reorg, roadmap thrash, policy rug pull, etc since roughly 2022. It ratchets up both after the silent layoffs, and before the announced ones; after the silent refresher reductions, and the announced

I have a low but not infrequent amount of direct exposure to him and honestly I think it's ~30% he is extremely ruthlessly competitive at any cost, and ~70% every semi-reasonable idea he has gets immediately twisted into cargo-culting,

Currently at Meta. This place has always been a bit ruthless in the 8+ years I've been around to observe. But the article is accurate. Never seen people this universally fed up. I thought tech was too cushy for it to happen, but there&

It's further north of nothing. It's a little less than if you got up and stood in the convenience store to pick 1 of 12 "Get Well!" cards. That's a few meaningful steps up (literally) from the 1-click eCard. The out

So if we want to run this strategy, I suppose we need to fine Meta out of existence, as an example to the rest.

I like this framing. At least as "nondeterministic" vs "deterministic" layers for the folks who flinch at "bullshit." Also "broadly capable but lossy" versus "limited capability but reliable.&quo

So it isn't disrespectful, and neither is it respectful. A perfect nothing, not a thought or care involved. Like a 1-click eCard mailer.
