"We are the priests who maintain the holy money printer called Steam for our lordship, first of his name Gabe Newell, so that he may purchase fleets of yachts. Don't rock the boat …

Sentry is atrocious. The thing runs Postgres, Redis, Clickhouse, Kafka, like a dozen huge components on their own as its backend. Their hosted vs self-hosted support is bad so depl…

“Perhaps this overuse of leverage is explained by” it’s explained by it being a silly little toy game. This experiment goes way differently if you use the one page business section…

As always in Linux at home, “something exotic” here means using Bluetooth at all.

I started out firmly against large companies. My ideal team is 10-20 engineers, in person, hyper focused and all on the same page with mutual respect. Minimal or no product manager…

According to Fiona Cicconi, Google’s chief people officer, Google employed 30,000 managers before the recent layoffs. The hard truth is Google needs a Twitter style culling. Take a…

This is the sort of stuff I use it for all the time, great examples. Or summarizing new concepts, reformatting strings or tables quickly, asking what some strange code snippet migh…

The “everything app” doesn’t get built by brute force and dollars. It has to be emergent. Musk will fail at achieving that vision at least.

Pretty wild take. In what word does someone write some of the greatest fantasy novels of all time and then just hand the last two off to someone else? In the name of “productivity”…

Gasp! Next “Managers” will be saying that Friday is now a work “relaxed zone”.

Knowing GPT, this is probably as simple as priming it not to overly explain every time that it has considered the instructions. Otherwise every single time it would say “I have tho…

The highest rank in my mind is the tenured professor who builds businesses from the safety of the university. Those few who poach the brightest students for their lab, leverage tha…

This reminds of how the politburo of China is often made up of engineers, chemists, and people with similar backgrounds. Whereas American politicians are all lawyers.

Layoffs may be needed. But there should be a healthy dose of executives included for making those hiring decisions. And they should do it all at once. Doing it in waves is absolute…

The consequences of failure in America are higher, that’s why we work so hard. You are a millionaire, or you are homeless. The in between is a hard and continuous struggle to get t…

My partner just got an Ioniq and it is pretty sweet. It’s a brand I never thought twice about that seems to be killing it recently.

Thanks for sharing. Perhaps it’s useful to share that if I had started earlier, I may have gotten more leeway without leaving. Asking the company for a break, literally saying “thi…

Hah yes, that could be part of a solution for sure.
