Nice attitude. Thank you for proving my point. If someone works in a toxic environment it must be their fault for "choosing it".

Sure have. Finance, research labs, government contracting. Can't wait for people to chime in with their horror stories. I've seen some of the most dysfunctional crap you can imagine.

I don't know what world you're living in but software development has always been a cut throat business. I've never seen true mentoring. Maybe a code review where some a-hole of a "senior" developer would come in ha

That will never happen. We've got employers making employees sign ridiculous Non-compete, non-disclosure, non-disparagement, agreements. Do you really think this will ever happen? We've collectively decided that corporations are p

Ha! When was the last time anyone took the blame for crappy code? This is an industry with zero accountability for quality. Fail fast right? At least when I tell an LLM it's wrong it says, "You're absolutely right" and g

I think it's more a very lame flex. Macbooks were expensive and if you were walking around the office with a Macbook it was because you were important enough to convince management to buy you one instead of some crappy Dell. Eventually

I just recently found a number of bugs in both the RELIC and MCL libraries. It took a while to track them down but it was remarkable that it was able to find them at all.

Some of the most valuable companies in the world right now are remnants of the dot com crash, Facebook (Meta), Google, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. By this logic the "AI companies" will go bust and coalesce into a few winners who will

I don't know why I don't see anyone ever mention JeKa. https://jeka.dev/ You don't have to learn a separate language or some weird config.

Why are we talking about “jobs” like it’s some singular thing? Is the best we can do to explain what we think might happen to line up every person who has something that can be described as a job, left to right by experience, and then decid

This is a gross simplification of the law. There isn't some "gotcha" like some schoolyard disagreement. "I gotcha! You said it! Derik heard it you gotta do it now! Do it Do it! Do it!" Yes, you can enforce a verbal

There's no such thing as presumptive partial ownership. Lando had a presumptive partial ownership and if you do you should expect the Vader treatment, "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further".

I've learned not to expect anything from being an early employee. It's right in the name, you're an employee. Expecting some sort of consideration for being early is naive. Every time you receive a paycheck you and your emplo

America needs to rethink what it means to be ______. Fill in the blank. It's a long list. I'm actually surprised it's taken us so long to get here. We have experienced a societal transformation as large and arguably larger th

I was going to poke holes in how this person is simply substituting being career-obsessed with being engineering obsessed but this is like the engineer who looses touch with engineering theory being an approximation of the real world. Life

And a plagiarism machine. It's like a high school student that thinks they can change a couple of words, make sure it's grammatically correct and it's not plagiarism because it's not an exact quote....either that or it j

I think a big difference is that people do things in predictably stupid ways and an LLM? Who knows. That could be because I've worked with stupid people my entire life and I know the boundaries of their chaos.

I'm sure you and your team were very aware. That was a very cool project and I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. My comment was more directed towards the armchair tech generals out there.

Many people underestimate the challenges of working in this environment. The DARPA challenge is like saying that boxing is the same as hand to hand combat. There are many similarities but the first has rules and parameters and the second ha
