Thanks! I've been looking for a new podcast that I might learn something interesting from... And that's completely outside of my regular wheelhouse. Appreciate the reply!

What's the name of the podcast? Sounds interesting.

It's interesting to get a glimpse of these things inside of major corporations. At a former (BigTech Co) employer, Staff Software Engineer was equivalent to Director. I was not well received when I pointed out that we had a few dozen D

Even the ones I could name, that I have personal, direct experience with, have become shitty over time.

It doesn't make sense to people who are too poor to post 5-figure bails. Unless you assume that wealthy people play by a different set of rules. Then it makes perfect sense.

I once replaced an alternator in an AutoZone parking lot. At the time I had a '97 Ford Ranger XLT, which I got used in '03. It had broken down outside of Phoenix as I was driving cross-country from Ohio to LA. I got towed to the p

Outsourcing technical work comes in waves. I've seen it up-close-and-personal 3 times. It's worked once and the magic that went into making it work (one of the founders moved back to his home country and started a consultancy that

I have, yes, and I've gone as far as finding friends and former colleagues who would be interested in joining me. Unfortunately health insurance is tied to employment in this country and we all have families. The uncertainty in that re

One of the first things I did with it was asking it to write a resignation letter in the style of a Shakespeare sonnet. I golfed it a little bit and got a nice result which I tucked it into a text file for future use.

That is incredible! Thanks for sharing! I assumed it would be fixed on the English language. Happy to hear they are working on that problem.

I was prompting it along this line of thought earlier. What I found was that it doesn't seem like it can do anything novel, which is to be expected, but I can see myself working with it to discover novel things.

I came to a similar realization today after I had spent some time with ChatGPT. I feel for people that are currently struggling with search engine queries. They're woefully unprepared for this next evolution. edit/ I also wonder w

I asked it to write a function that could calculate the grade adjusted pace between 2 latitude, longitude coordinate pairs. What it spit was naive but correct enough, given the prompt. I was on my phone, standing in line at a grocery store,

I've also experienced this and I've mentioned it in comments here in the past. I once recommended the book to a (former) colleague and it was maddening to talk to this person after they finished it. FWIW, I'm also always on e

I mean, I just take my kids with me shopping. Usually alone. They're twins and they're 3. These things aren't hard, people just don't want to do them.

What languages? I've struggled to get it working with Ruby (specifically with robe) and it's the one thing that keeps me in VSCode for work.

They can dress up what they're doing in whatever language they want, like calling it "art" or whatever, but at the end of the day this is a company whose business is selling clothing. It strikes me as tasteless, or maybe even

I had it. It was nasty. Fatigue, mental fog, and phantomsia (cigarette smoke in my case, lucky me...) persisted for months after. I also had abnormal heart rhythms and an increased frequency of ocular migraines (1-2 per year is "normal

I've had one for each car since ~2017. I have a portable air compressor that goes with us on camping trips, too. Highly recommended.

As a counter-balance: I have 3 children, twins who are 3 (and I am the twin parent ) and a 1 year old. My wife is still in recovery and on partial (she works 20 hours / week right now) disability from the birth of our youngest. I&#x27
