Oversimplification but often I think it's: Elderly wisdom <=> Middle-aged evaluation <=> Youthful application The problem occurs when this doesn't line up with management structures and you get Elderly dictation =>

This is how it should be to be honest, and in tech everything gets compressed because of how fast it moves. - Energy of the young -- doers - Leadership of the middle aged -- management - Wisdom of the elderly -- advisors It feels like so of

It feels like Microsoft had to prematurely play their hand here, and it will cost them in the long term. The whole situation is blatantly corrupt.

FanDuel was really a lose-lose-lose - Investors got a meager return - Company and employees got nothing from the sale - Consumers got a gambling addiction

We live in a decentralized free-for-all era, and I think the result is better music, but they're nostalgic for that "collective experience". Like so many things it got so centralized that it eventually crumbled under its own

How is Arena toxic? There's basically no opportunity for the players to converse besides bland preset options which rarely even gets used outside of a greeting at the start of the game.

It's sort of like if they didn't have a change control process, deployed on a Friday, realized the deployment was broken, and are now hurriedly trying to roll it back before business hours Monday. Not really a good look from a com

I can't remember the source for it (help me out if you know it), but people only like to play games when they're in the band of 30-70% winrate. Win too much or too little, and they'll stop enjoying playing the game.

In my experience they are very limited by their lack of familiarity with the code. They might be a generalist at everything else, but that's a pretty hard ceiling.

Gets to Mt Moon and it gets stuck in a long hallway when the AI doesn't understand that it's still "exploring" by walking down it, even as it moves, because the screenshots look the same. Plenty of ways to tweak the rewa

It feels like marketing sleight-of-hand. Like "you own the house, but you have to rent the walls from us".

This has been my experience as well (as a dev). Curious if there's others in the same sort of situation, and I'd love to hear more thoughts. My general tips are: - Use as much as you can of what they already have. - Talk to them,

Just a general trend of humanizing things that aren't human: governments, corporations, AI.

I'm a big fan of the quote “Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems” and I just don't like to blur the line between the two.

Even that is weird. Anthropomorphizing the government.

It's very strange to see the sentence "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" coming from the Chief Justice. I don't like seeing a person and an entity like the government used interchangeably like that. Leaves that C
