Think about it. If you're great at the job you're doing, companies tend to promote you because they assume you'll be good at the next one up too. That happens until you're at the t…

I have it give me a punchlist and a tldr in a table format for every turn. It helps cut through the incessant babbling.

Lots of people saying the same about Deepseek v4 Flash. Seems like it's an artifact of that model.

Are they? Or do they just have superior recall? Or maybe lack test-taking anxiety? Or write or type quicker or...? Lots of reasons a slow student can be just as smart or smarter th…

Acceptable is different from being an accurate assessment of knowledge. The question is what is the teacher attempting to measure?

Because those folks don't move the needle on sales. They're buying one, maybe two firesticks and using them OOB. I'd bet a significant portion of sales go to people 'jailbreaking' …

Agreed. They won by having the best product. And it wasn't even close.

One thing I'd point out is that there are only so many ways to write a document or build a spreadsheet. There are a ton of business processes that are custom enough to that org tha…

I don't think we use CGMs enough. There's nothing that tells you more about your food choice than the way your blood sugar reacts after you eat it. Teaching that can actually help …

There are also many subskills not worth learning to some people. Sometimes traversal is what's needed and not understanding. (Though I'm never going to knock gaining more understan…

I love this. A teacher that actually engages with change instead of just pretending it's evil or doesn't exist. Refreshing.

THIS. Companies establish the minimum level of productivity acceptable by keeping the lowest performer. There's very little benefit in producing much beyond that level in most orga…

This hits home. I love the thrill of the build and I immediately stop caring once it's done. I love the 'rewire for action' perspective because I've conditioned myself that seeking…

>I also would have massive unquenchable thirst during this that I now don’t have. Have you been checked for diabetes? The thirst is one of the bigger symptoms.

Yep. What this shows is that companies sway with what they perceive is public opinion. From Floyd to Trump, companies are shaping their internal public facing policies to mirror wh…

>But I also think it's pretty hard to foster an environment where people of every seniority level feel comfortable doing that. That's because pretending to be unsinkable is much ea…

Thanks for this! I use a Perrix 835 and I'm quite happy with it except that the keys are rubbing raw and I need new key caps. But I'm always looking to trade up if possible.

When folks are engaging in mass circumventing of pervasive processes, it's because the process has broken 'typical' attempts to interact with it. You're being penalized for doing r…

>In addition companies don't seem to give a shit about straightforward code, they want LOC per day and the cheapest price possible which leads to tons of crap code. Companies don't…

This sounds like a situation that I know about at the placed identified by name in your comment. It took months to track down the issue.

Armchair QBing this thing with practically no info, but I wonder if this isn't the type of idea that should target specific places with incomes that can support higher prices and d…

If they could adjust for LED headlights at night, this would be even more of a no-brainer. I'd still wear them if needed.

You don't even need to charge, just some sort of validation wall before submission. I bet a non-functional AI checker would discourage the great majority of these.

> 2. Break the rules if the rules are stupid. This.

The most valuable thing AI has done for me with coding is commenting my code and creating documentation from it. It saves so much time doing a task that hardly any of us actually w…
