I came here to say exactly this. I can't tell if it's because I'm not a traditional "tech" person, but 90% of the best minds I've seen are nowhere near tech in general. Having a br…

What is the correlation between "writing code" and product management getting better?

If you want to learn for the joy of learning: yes If you want to get a job at a competitive company / make a career change: no

Most tech companies are terrible at hiring "managers". I agree with Paul's premise, but the solution to micromanage is missing the point. If companies hired actual manager/leaders,…

missed all the independent pizzerias in my hometown.

This is why OpenAI being the "leader" in the space worries me. We need to be building trust in AI systems, not leaning into what the public perception is. On the other hand, maybe …

The interesting part here is that it's actually a two-sided marketplace. Most investors aren't "impressive" either, and thus they'll often not be able to get into the best deals be…

Interestingly, I think that's for us to choose. I'm leaning into AI specifically for this reason. I want to build tools to that reduce the drudgery. But I agree, there's going to b…

You want a real DIY MBA? Start a company. That's it. :D

To be fair, you set yourself up for the downvote. There is no science to backup the vegan diet is "far healthier". Also, if the entire world stopped eating meat, we'd have a series…

Wow, this looks like Chat-GPT speak: This highlights the incredibly high-risk nature of the NFT market and underscores the need for careful due diligence before making any purchase…

I have a similar but slightly different take on that Instead of "As I get older, I just don't care about new technology" it's more "As I get older, I'm more skeptical of new techno…

You and me reading books about fuzzy logic in the 80s didn't constitute the initial round of AI.

I do think AI is here to stay, but that initial round of AI is going to destroy the world burned fast and hot. I can't even get ChatGPT (+ web plugin), when given a list of restaur…

Everything about how Meta / Zuck is approaching this is showing how nervous and anxious he is about all of this. From the panic announcement of the Quest 3 before the Vision Pro un…

I know I'm reiterating what others have said, but a STRONG +1 to the folks who are advocating for a Yamaha P-515. I bought one a year or two ago, and it sounds amazing, has great f…

We caught it for the first time a week ago (my entire family). Theoretically I was patient zero, but the preceding week I had only left the house once, which was go to to a doctor …

I'm conflicted but interested in how all this plays out. Traditionally stories, music, art, dance were mediums for humans to express ideas/culture/transmit stories/history to other…

First, I want to acknowledge your situation so I don't want to belittle what you went through in any way, but I had a catastrophic series of events happen in my life almost 9 years…

As an owner of a Rev2 and a P6 really cool to see you here Pym!

Possibly best HN comment ever

> SWE is... arguably easier than both Mech E and Elec E in my > mind I won't touch on any of the other points, but I'd repeat something I've said to many junior engineers over the …

Another thing worth calling out, there's nothing wrong with over-engineering solutions in pursuit of knowledge. Especially when it's just a personal project.

I have this on CD. Their version of La Fiesta is one of the most joyous things every recorded.
