Or it’s just people with different opinions that took charge. I find it funny reading sometimes how my country learned to conform on something that was previously a bit unique and …

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'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 …

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 be…

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 …

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 Anthropi…

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. Judgi…

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 re…

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 …

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…

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…

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 P…

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.
