I never understood the "low code" microbubble that was being inflated. We went through that era already. We called them RAD tools, and they targeted the same sort of strange, mythi…

Sure, though I'd ask more open ended questions about a problem to see where they go with it. Maybe they land on using something like a debugger or wireshark or strace or whatever m…

The "nano" questions are silly and tell you nothing useful about the candidate other than I guess their level of candor in being subordinate to obsequious lines of questioning. How…

I would destroy that thing with sweat in the first 30 min.

They never had any meaning to begin with. Outside of ostensibly knowing how to program, the title carried with it no firmly held, measured, or maintained any baseline expertise of …

Alternatively, it might make capital available to other things. It's at least theoretically possible that all the liquidity and leverage in the top of the market could tire itself …

It's okay to say it. It's a bubble. It was just the next in line to be inflated after crypto.

Sam Altman is not a hapless victim at the mercy of the isolating effects of his financial success. He was an opportunistic, amoral sociopath before he was rich, and the system he r…

I would have loved a control question like, "How much confidence do you have in confidence?"

Just have people pair with people doing actual work. It's better signal for the candidate, for the existing team, and for the organization.

Once you're running a fleet of autonomous vehicles, whatever century that finally becomes a reality, then it makes sense to optimize out of the operation a few people who make at o…

That's not why ZIRP happened. ZIRP happened as a long-term back-channel bailout to all the banks & funds holding the downside of the housing & derivatives market collapse. It allow…

I spent all of ZIRP while it was happening being bothered by this. It was insanity inducing to watch huge valuations and associated piles of money chasing the most banal and/or imp…

FWIW… look at the portfolio pages of lots of VCs. They’re absolutely filthy with boring companies with boring products that obviously have absolutely no prayer whatsoever of being …

Get a cheap Intel ARC A310 card. I have one in my workstation along side my AMD GPU purely for streaming/encoding. It works great.

Yes. It has all the telltale signs of a FOMO-hype bubble across multiple asset classes that's driven by multiple organizations cynically exploiting a combination of Gell-Mann Amnes…

Maybe. Dunno. Depends a lot on so many things. I mean, I'm excited about doing another startup after this one using everything I've learned about how I actually want to be spending…

Thanks. Appreciate it. I'm probably fortunate that I came to grips with that whole end of things 20 years prior to work-induced burnout. I can probably safely credit the experience…

I'm a VC-backed founder who's definitely burned out. I know for certain what caused it, and I know for certain when it became unrecoverable, and I know for certain that I charged a…

> And people _love_ this sort of structure because it means that something other than actual competence can be the deciding factor. It's different competence. Not incompetence. It'…
