I’ve learned so much, and it took only a few minutes. What a treat. I had no idea about masking, even though I’ve been doing it for as long as I remember being alive. Aaaah, it’s so draining. When I was younger (in my…
> In the US, we can learn a lot too. Alas, American exceptionality as part of its premise precludes any act of learning from anywhere other than itself. Culturally, this is what inbreeding looks like.
I get a good chuckle out of these articles. “Here’s another thing I lack that was supposed to make me live longer!” Speaking of living longer: I’ve had my fill of fast cars already, but how about an airplane? I watched…
The repo is 100% AI slop. Advice to OP: lay off the Claude Code if your goal is to become an “independent researcher”. Claude doesn’t know what it’s doing, but it’s happy to lead you into a false sense of achievement…
LinkedIn is for those who don’t have a GitHub. My work speaks for itself; if it’s somehow not enough, the company isn’t worth my time anyway.
We just got back from watching the launch in person from Cocoa, FL. It seemed as if ten thousand people have come out to watch the rocket climb up. Everyone cheered hard, and spirits were unbelievably high despite…

It's the parents' job to teach kids how to tell junk food from healthy food; predatory apps from apps which add value; "you're the product" from "you're consuming the product". I do this with my kid, and technology is a…
For me the daily standup is a chance to be debriefed by the project manager so that they can convert my updates to actions in JIRA. It's what liberates me from having to personally interact with JIRA. In that sense the…
Such folks normally designate one property as their "primary residence", commonly defined as a place where one sleeps 183 nights out of the year. That's where one pays local taxes.
You'll end up paying New York income tax too, which is quite hefty.
There are plenty of people who moved out of NYC/SF and continued making their NYC/SF salary while working remotely from Nowhere, USA. Companies who cut pay based on locale will soon see their workforces dwindle to…
Start looking for that new job before the previous one has ended. This is just a slightly next-level variation of simple networking, where you don't merely make friends all over the place, but make it clear that you'd…
We call ourselves trapped.
I've worked for a certain IoT startup that at one point paid $850k/month (eight hundred and fifty thousand USD per month) for AWS usage. After about a year of full time work by a team of SREs and programmers, the bill…

We wanted platforms that connect the world - now we’ve got them. We’ve given everyone a voice: the pedophiles, the self-harm fetishists, the terrorists. Now we’re reaping what we’d sown.
How developed can the US be considering that we have destroyed our manufacturing base and cannot even provide clean water and healthcare for our own citizens?
I don’t know how things are in DC, but here in NYC school bus drivers are some of the worst pricks on the road. They ignore all rules, they drive like a horde of zombies is gnawing at their hams, and they habitually…
You failed your Triplebyte interview because you neglected an extremely important aspect of the job: communication. You made assumptions about the ask which turned out to be grossly out of tune with those of the…
Good riddance! A project is undertaken to achieve some specified result, not to advance a career or learn some new tool. Don’t get me wrong: those lofty things are welcome when they occur as a byproduct of developing…
