My unsolicited thoughts: * AI will drive additional features as development accelerates * There will be a window where fast adopting AI companies can deliver features faster than p…

We should design a specific language to make sure that we can encode the exact requirements that we want. Something that has a limited set of keywords that are explicit. Wait a min…

I'm genuinely curious what a good survival strategy is for people at different levels within tech - junior, mid-level, senior, staff, etc.

I believe choosing a well known problem space in a well known language certainly influenced a lot of the behavior. AIs usefulness is correlated strongly with its training data and …

I am just not having this experience of AI being terribly useful. I don’t program as much in my role but I’ve found it’s a giant time sink. I recognize that many people are finding…

The market value of software diminishes as it becomes significantly easier to write.

And to add-on, isn’t there some market dynamics we are avoiding here with this example? If I’m an AI company and really produced a principal level engineer, why would I sell it for…

I’m genuinely curious on the point about reducing headcount because AI will be more efficient. I’ve seen it articulated here but other places too that a company will be able to hav…

Oh I know, I live very close to there. I just wanted to add insight for those that might not be familiar with those being two separate things.

Additional Context: The Getty Villa which is on the border of Malibu and Pacific Palisades was the structure that was threatened by fire directly. This article is about the Getty C…

I don't think I've personally ever been as disillusioned with technology more than with the recent rapid adoption of AI. I think AI is massively negative on the environment via inc…

EC2s are provisioned with Terraform or if you want to bypass that, click-ops. Nothing custom is needed. You can define a small shell script that is known as userdata that runs when…

Oh definitely that happens and from my experience I don’t think there’s a lot that can be done unless there’s strong faith in engineering leadership to push back on the complexity.…

As an SRE who’s moved between a few companies recently, I’ve noticed a trend towards simpler infrastructure options rather than k8s. Most places I interviewed at used AWS with just…

A few infrastructure things: - Serve traffic behind a load balancer that has a WAF - Network segregation for database (separate subnets) - Make sure you serve https and have a cert…

These aren’t really things but it was nice to self reflect on what’s important: - Piano music, specifically listening to and playing the greats like Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Beethoven…

Seems like we’re recreating the Middle Ages financially a bit here doesn’t it? Mobility is linked to previous generations more than your own. Wealth is more important than income b…

I think Americans workers are willing to tolerate conditions of exorbitant wealth disparity for at least two reasons. First, because Americans believe someday that they will be wea…

How much is the average person's exposure to commercial real-estate holdings versus the VC class' exposure?

Aren't there too many variables to reduce stock movement to a single individual?

I wish I understood why so many options are granted in the first place. If they offered 10,000 fewer options, would performance be any worse? Wouldn't a lot of people be vying for …

I started using simple work books. RCM books were pretty good since they have technique, theory and pieces to play that work for each level. https://shopus.rcmusic.com/

Ha - maybe one day!

Piano and coding. One pays the bills, but I love both. I learned to play piano and currently play through sheet music. I use MuseScore and can play most "normal" music at roughly 7…
