debian's stance actually makes more sense than a ban. you can't detect the origin of a contribution reliably. what you can do is hold the contributor accountable for what they subm…

the skills that protect against displacement long-term are exactly what vibe coding erodes. an engineer who built with AI but never developed the instincts to spot its mistakes has…

The capability vs adoption gap is the real story. Anthropic's data shows LLMs can theoretically handle 94% of computer and math tasks but actual usage is around 33%. Entry-level hi…

MongoDB is great until you read the SSPL. Then you're either paying Atlas prices, running an old 4.x build, or pretending FerretDB is production-ready. We built a third option. Sal…

The "K-shaped workforce" framing is real and probably underappreciated. Senior engineers get more out of AI because they can evaluate the output, catch the architectural mistakes, …

The "senior gets better results" dynamic is real and probably the most underappreciated fact in the AI-jobs debate. The question isn't whether AI writes code. It's whether the pers…

The failure mode here is predictable. Junior practitioners in any domain are being asked to use AI tools before they've developed the professional judgment to validate the outputs.…

the correction you're describing is real. the timing is unknowable but the direction isn't. two things tend to protect people in this scenario: domain knowledge that's hard to hand…

$730B on roughly $11B ARR is ~66x. Microsoft trades at 12x. The market is pricing OpenAI as infrastructure, not software. That's probably right. The implication is that the product…

The $2M+ gross profit per person target is the number that actually explains this. That's 4x their pre-covid baseline. Every company that over-hired during ZIRP is running this sam…

The "AI kills software jobs" framing and the "AI is just a tool" framing are both wrong in the same way — they treat it as uniform. What actually seems to be happening is that AI c…

The feedback loop described here is what stuck with me — AI improves, companies cut headcount, savings go back into AI, AI improves. No natural brake. The article puts a specific n…

use code PROMO for a 100% discount on Stripe payment. Makes paying for the app optional.

My son had questions about his career and couldn't answer them. So I built Parallax — a tool that helps you explore career options and arrive at your own answers. Upload your resum…
