> Hire 1 or 2 accountants, give them a chair and a cubicle, and let AI do the rest of the work. You're so close to describing a Universal Basic Income...

The first communicated a feeling. A brief flutter in the soul of a picture of recognition, painted for your mind's eye with care by the author. The second transcribed considerable information bandwidth through intentionally structured

Reality left the building a long time ago. I think a lot of world models of how things "should" go are severely outdated.

Oddly, the strange handheld look and constant reframing of the talking head shots are pulling me wildly out of focus and distracting me terribly. Wonder what drove the choice to do it.

This sounds more like post-hiring admin, unless you're discriminating against parents?

I find it hard to blame the workers in this story... it's a poor indictment of the management if they only checked in 3 months later and got this surprise - no wonder the company collapsed!

Failure of the markets, and capitalism in general. Surely if the markets worked properly there would be ample housing due to demand?

Hm. I read the title differently - that we create "A" personal website to break the monopoly of the "All" websites like the social media sites he mentions. The singular destroys the monolithic many.

This sounds just as bad as yolo-merges, just on the other end of the spectrum.

It's 75 minutes to _communicate_ the message to customers. Definitely internal teams were ahead of this before it was posted to the AWS Health Dashboard. Status Page posts are lagging indicators of incident progress.

Wholly inaccurate. AWS Systems Engineers would have been paged by automated monitoring systems once alert thresholds were breached. No escalation through Support needed.

Thank you, I came to say this too. You're mushing your humans harder, and they'll break. Those 5 mins of downtime post-call aren't 100% note taking - it's catching their breath, trying to re-compose after dealing with a

It's like worrying about moving bits on a hard drive, or writing nice machine code. Eventually you just won't care. AI / LLMs interacting with code bases in future won't care about structure, clearness, conciseness etc.

I don't think that's true. I'm in EU and I've allowed engineers to shift their working hours based on personal circumstances - like start remotely at 7am and finish at 3PM. I also encourage engineers to take the time the
