I think either you've prompted Claude misleadingly, or it's interpreting the law unnecessarily prissily (which is a failure mode I've noticed LLMs falling into). This clearly is di…

I don't understand your comment. It's poorly-punctuated, and its hard to figure out what your position is. What's a "pie hole" as a metaphor for a person? Is that what you meant?

This is overengineering taken to the max. Probably OCPD or waterfall methodology or something. While you're creating your 500+ page deck I will already be iterating and learning on…

Do you know what "startup" means? A restaurant business isn't a startup. A consultancy isn't a startup. The whole point is to do something that does scale. VCs won't invest in some…

OK, so why did you bring up power dynamics at all? Are you saying that this won't work long-term because he'll realise that the power dynamics are the wrong way round? That's the o…

You can't delegate software engineering to a rando off Craigslist, especially if you're an employee. (If you're a contractor and your contract allows you to do that it's just irres…

You have to want this though. Otherwise you're just going to be saying "you're not my boss" and "stop nagging me" repeatedly, and that's not going to be good for your relationship.…

Some of us procrastinate because we have ADHD. I hear there is a cure to ADHD procrastination, it's called quitting your job and becoming an enterpreneur, but that's a little extre…

No, that doesn't work. It has to be a person whose job is specifically to watch you. A coworker or a subordinate - that's not their job. And frankly that would be inappropriate for…

> Is 'ghetto' racist? What would be a better word insted? It is not a word we use in this context in the UK, I think, because ghetto for us doesn't mean what it means in the US, it…

> I hope he has some good influences around him to keep him grounded. That's what he paid all those assistants for.

The good thing about my type of ADHD is I get addicted to things and then lose interest in them. TikTok is no longer exciting for me now, now that I am just using it for live DJs a…

I can see therapy working well for someone who has unprocessed trauma or depression, but I have ADHD, and my ADHD specialist has told me that the medicine part is for the symptoms,…

People are saying the original post is weird but honestly I think this is weirder. There is no way I could do this. You must be super-extroverted to be willing to let it all hang o…

The bar for what is considered "problematic power dynamics" among the woke and/or left seems to be getting lower and lower. Recently I've seen the claim that a meetup organiser sho…

> Long term, not being micromanaged has a positive mental impact. This isn't micromanagement, except to the extent that they are preventing him from visiting time-sink websites (un…

That's a really rather rude and uncalled-for response. Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed or something?

The US federal government is going to ban anti-compete clauses, which is great news: https://www.fullstackeconomics.com/p/banning-noncompete-agre...

Not necessarily. It depends how much your employer cares about confidentiality. If you work at a bank like I do, then 100% yes. But if you work at some social networking site like …

"Date me" pages are actually quite popular in the effective altruist community, so this makes me update against him being a fictional character.

He doesn't sound like was oppressed. If I introspect my thoughts about this experiment, I feel like if I did it, I would feel oppressed - but on the other hand I don't feel oppress…

>I’m certain she wasn’t actually watching porn. I think you're too certain about that. She has no responsibilities other than some occasional chores and keeping an eye on what he's…

I think you meant "diss", not "doxx".

In reality, these days, software engineers train on the job to a large extent too. If your employer uses a dozen different technologies - languages, frameworks, tracing frameworks,…
