Going long on laser tag stocks.

What a world.

oh no!

"We'll have swarms of agents automatically fixing bugs as users open them!"

Bold statement

I mean, "It takes a village"...

I feel like we're not saying eigenclass enough.

With the ability to generate giant lumps of code that land whole solutions at once rather than MVPs, the level of review needs to focus on the priors, assumptions, and decision tree of the author as much as the code itself.

Code is like explosives - "quantity has its own quality." Large diffs have an authority, carrying a weight that small patches, spikes, and MVPs simply don't. Large MRs get rubber stamped - small ones get interrogated.

As I was poking again at some AI bullshit, I suddenly thought "Maybe I should go finally dig into rust and jj at the same time" and felt such a rush of joy and elation, I immediately put myself on a PIP.

A gem that randomly inserts ads for RAID: Shadow Legends into your logs.

Oh oh oh! ..and we can trace the history of beekeeping through tracing the linguistic ghosts of how the word "mead" diffused through Indo-European languages!

It’s disappointing to see people you respect disregard the social and political impact of the technology they build

Fuck hockey.

Low-key appreciating we've moved off the Armageddon discourse

Well, there goes my slightly increasing interest in hockey.

I feel like this is the first Olympics in my lifetime where I've actually missed out on anything by not watching them.

The vast majority of ideas you’ll have aren’t actually very good.

That’s ok.

That’s normal.

Tool creates more data ♻️ humans feel overwhelmed, create tool to handle data

“Soup is just an open-faced monad.”

Honestly I’m still rocking monofur with a fairy floss theme

The "Dead Sea Effect" applies not just to talent, but to drive and career progression. In roles where a substantial portion of compensation relies on equity awards, the incentives are to concentrate compliance by financially lopping the heads off the tall poppies.

The only thing better is getting to say "Hey! You can't park there!"
