Worth noting that Washington Post is a national newspaper (peer to NYC in reach and stature) and is thus under much closer scrutiny than the thousands of local news outlets that are owned by the moneyed elite and do in fact refrain from r

Yes he did. I don't know very much about him yet, but his life seems to be a fascinating one of gently guiding a failing state (that failed on epic proportions) back into normalcy and then into rapid growth.

Authoritarianism doesn’t always lead to ruin. It does have negative effects (stifling innovation, increasing likelihood of disastrous civil wars and revolutions etc.) but its not a given. With China, we’ve seen it go both ways: Disaster und

Good rule of thumb in general. One technique Ive found of understanding if someone is genuinely knowledgeable or faking it is to read their books or listen to long form podcasts (not just interviews). More data points create a more complete

As others have pointed, there are better researched works that can be useful on the topic of dealing with one’s own mind. This is definitely pop-pysch bullshit; but its also almost certainly going to be read and shared widely among large nu

Its more likely that he’s going to lose everything and end up in a bad place, IMO. Coinbase hasn’t cornered the market. They’re one player in an industry where other players aren’t that far behind. They had first mover advantage which it se

I just want to say, in a comment that furthers the discussion in no way, that having something like this available for free is just incredible.

People have pointed out that he’s likely going through mental health issues and Im inclined to agree with them. He went a bit too far with the Twitter buyout stunt. Honestly, he should just get off social media and take a vacation or someth

Systems fail in many different ways. Its not that the market can never fail, that would be an absurd claim. They are less likely to fail along the lines that they failed before. What we’re seeing instead is people fearing a repetition of th

Its the job of journalists to bring a cynical/critical eye to important things in society. I'm glad that these folks exist and its their fulltime job to call out bullshit. Of course they will misfire at times. People in tech also

Yup. Really easy to set this up with the IDP's available today too.

This seems right. Theres definitely positions which the “slick MBA type” can fill in a tech company (PM, TPM, VP etc). But building, operating and reasoning about complex software systems is just hard and so demanding . It’s not possible

No, but you can try and gently deflate rather than make it pop.

Deficit spending is not a new strategy. Financial crashes are often precipitated by short term factors eg inability to come up with enough capital, cascading failures as financial firms fail and spook all investors. The Fed has essentially

As long as they’re not colluding but competing, this seems unlikely. As a sibling comment pointed out, wages “tend to be sticky”.

Seems like a lot of people want the market to crash. Or, everyone is trying to time the pop. Fundamentals for Tech is still pretty solid. Yes all the crypto/NFT can crash and burn but demand doesn’t seem like its going to fall unless

By far this is the best explanation, thank you. Just like there are a plethora of programming stacks, there exists a ton of choices in implementing a software supply chain. Kubernetes is valuable to infrastructure engineers to use it to cre

10x engineer is meritocratic trope on steroids. The desire for everyone to want to be seen as a 10x engineer has probably caused more damage than the concept is really worth. I like this kind of correction (or backlash) against the concept.

Its great that your migration worked in a way that made your deployment pipeline arch agnostic. Expecting everyone did it that way? Not sure about that. I bet quite a lot of migrations involved changing hardcoded instance types, docker imag

This is terrible advice (also from a smurf account). Yes unsubstantiated claims can be harmful, but that doesn’t mean that no such claims should ever be made. The author is not just bad mouthing their research group, but presenting their pe
