When my kids were little, we had glow in the dark pacifiers that lasted ALL NIGHT. I still don't know what sorcery was used to accomplish that, but if any of you have little ones, the MAM brand is what we used. Being able to spot the p

Correct, the pandemic led to pent-up demand, and the Great Migration was what happened when job switching became tenable again. But the effects of that pent-up demand are a larger than normal group of people who now have the same relative

Remember that about 3-4 years ago, we experienced the Great Migration. The percentage of tech workers who moved to new companies was very high compared with historical migration patterns. Interests rates were still very low, companies had

I can't speak for the internals, but I've found it to be dead simple to spin up locally and use, with decent results on the docs I've tested it with. That said, I think a lot of AI chat services have recognized that document

Don't get the wrong idea about this announcement. The problem is not that pediatric urgent care is not a viable business. The problem is that it's not a great VC-funded business. VC investors are hoping for huge growth and eventua

One of the skills I already have is the ability to work with difficult people or take on projects that need to be rescued and turn them around. That has been a valuable skill and has allowed me to develop a brand around it. However, that d

I managed a person who was more senior than I was, and definitely a top performer. What did they want me to do? Get stuff out of their way, so they could move as fast as they were capable of moving. I was happy to do that, and we had a grea

I think this falls under the category of "Don't hate the player, hate the game." I agree with you: It totally sucks that this is the way the business world works. But if you want to work within the confines of this flawed sys

The way this is being described is almost like a maze-traversal algorithm, where compute time is "how far I'm willing to go down a path to test whether it's a possible solution." I wonder what other parallels we might f

Local development works great ... until it doesn't. And then getting it to scale past a certain point is excruciating. My favorite argument against local development, however, is that isolation is a bug, not a feature. When I want to
