I’m sure lots of rich assholes take comfort from this unfortunately common attitude. This entire blog post exists due to someone clearly needing to vent, try to work backwards from that. If things were as peachy…
Sigh, as expected. Incredible display of being unable to read between the lines and be dazzled by superficiality. But I don't expect even base levels of street smartness here.
To summarise it, as I believe this would be an exercise in futility to discuss with you: Bun/Jarred very obviously threw Zig under the bus when it was opportune and self-serving to do so after joining Anthropic.
There are more ways to behave badly than to call someone bad words. If you’re being that literal.
I guess I don't value the stoic leadership ideal as much as you do.
I just don't think it's fair to expect people getting shit to be expected to use kid gloves when responding to it.
I'm sorry but I honestly think this is just being superficial wanting to push it through some kind of corporate speak filter to be able to stomach it. > Using phrases like "stinky manager" I would've used a worse…
It's all about tone. The original bad behavior is done without overt "bad tone" but if the response to it is spicy then the former is ignored and the latter is condemned despite being of lesser severity. I can buy that…
> "Oven is going to be a grind, especially the first nine months or so. If work-life balance means a lot of time spent not working, it's probably not a good fit." Stinky manager is charitable.
No, it's embarrassing being obsessed with good tone to the point that people behaving badly should never be called out for it. The article provides good background into how it got to this point - and it fits well with…
That this is a technological decision rather than rationalizations (e.g. fixing self-inflicted problems are now marketed as a rewrite win) that Rust is a better fit for an Anthropic-owned project.
Given the chronology set out by Andrew, I think it's warranted anyway.
It's depressing seeing so little critical thinking despite clear and obvious incentives (Bun now being part of Anthropic) behind the reckless decisions that's been made here. Judging by this thread a well-formed article…
That's due to moving away from the government ensuring an adequate supply of rental units over the last decades. Intentional free market style policies.
Because tech is so deeply hooked on fashion and short-termism that it’ll make both a Temu & Wall street exec blush in envy. LLMs floods both these receptors like the Great flood.
I'd expect GitLab to have contractors as well like most companies. Unclear if there's a significantly larger amount at Valve. It's a large gap to fill with contractors though to reach GitLab numbers. GitLab is also a…
This was in relation to employee count, not valuation.
I do think there's a certain level of vagueness and lack of rigor that permeate throughout (software) tech that enables self-serving to a greater extent than usual. I agree though that it's to be expected in most corps…
Yup, it's certainly a mix. I think the stock market incentive is most obvious for the usual VC-style "this must look presentable to the stock market before IPO"-spiel. After that I'd expect management/corp politics…
I think the unfortunate reality is that lots of companies in our industry have suspiciously inflated employee counts in the first place. Even when removing AI and the pandemic over-hiring, I wouldn't have been surprised…
People are far too charitable about an industry with chronic short-term thinking. We'll just lower the standards to whatever fits the success story.
I thinking that it’s quite a different experience going all Jackson Pollock with AI in your own studio on your own terms, compared to the sorry state of affairs of having 100s of Pollocks throwing paint around wildly…
I think it’s just a corporate rug pull. Anthropic’s needs are the sole priority, all others be damned.
Aha, it's public. That explains the inflated employee count. Same story every time.
People are seriously naive about corporate incentives. You think he'll go "Yeah, it being in Zig has put a wrench in our AI usage and that's not a good look now that we're with Anthropic"? No, he'll confirm everyone's…
