I mostly stayed clear of the SV world while building and exiting my startup, but people like this came and went through my network constantly. They were always easy to pick out bas…

Same with a $10k tree slicer, when the actually expensive alternatives that really get people in trouble are day trading, real estate, car collecting, divorce, and starting new bus…

I love his videos. He makes you feel like we can actually fight back and win. If he changed his style I think something great would be lost

I reject the core assertion that there was a "lost decade" at all. I was deep in the frontend industry during that time, and many "use the platform" purists completely missed the r…

Does this mean uncle worm won’t run on it out of the box? A tragedy

Same, and corrupts backup saves

You're getting downvoted but just yesterday it got in a weird state, crashed, and corrupted recent backup saves and I had to do a bunch of work all over again. I still enjoy using …

Kdenlive is amazing. As someone that learned basic video editing through cracked versions of Premiere growing up, I love that a completely free tool can do everything I need for ed…

I don’t know why you’re getting so aggressively downvoted. You aren’t wrong at all. This is a term that has not seen such aggressive and widespread use until this administration.

It is so clearly being used to a much greater and more deliberate degree during this administration. Pretending otherwise is foolish

The only surprise is how quickly it all happened!

This sums up a lot of what I've been feeling lately. I've had a hard time getting excited about the AI long game, unlike a lot of my peers. I think being out of the industry for a …

Yep, and watching many of my peers in tech get red pilled and vote for this administration, or even be active participants in it, has been very hard to stomach. Financial penalties…

I think it's also a uniquely American thing. We are so defined by our work and our careers here. It's kind of sad, in my opinion, but that's the reality.

Yea I've noticed this is the singular difference between those that enjoy early retirement and are successful doing it and those that aren't. Many ambitious people end up wrapping …

And all these data centers they want to build around the country. When consumers can’t get devices they want maybe they’ll fight even harder against these data centers being built …

Yep, heard so many no’s while building my startup. They mean nothing to me now because I got a few yes’s when it mattered.

They absolutely do not. It took getting out of tech a few years to realize how hilariously out of touch we can be in this industry

Why are you getting downvoted? You’re absolutely right. My mind instantly went to “I would have bought this instead of the F135+ in a heartbeat”

> Epson stopped making their flatbeds that do film, reportedly because they can’t get the CCDs anymore. That may be a rumor. Wow, you weren’t kidding, I completely missed this. I b…

This is cool. I spent ~$1k on a Pakon F135+ a number of years ago, and the workflow was indeed extremely frustrating and the results not that great. If I were still shooting a lot …

I really feel horrible for people who bet on CS and are hitting this job market right now. It's interesting, back when I was in elementary school in the 90's, parents of friends kn…

Interesting how it seems a bunch of competition entered the market right as they did this as well. Unifi UNAS just came out and looks pretty compelling

They're taking advantage of kids right out of college that don't know any better and don't have any other personal obligations. Anyone with experience or a few more years of life c…
