if you replace "claude said" with "a random stranger on a forum said," you'll correctly calibrate the level of authority and trustworthiness you should give it

Psychology of Software Teams Cover reveal! My upcoming book, The Psychology of Software Teams, exists in the eyes of the International ISBN Agency, various book sellers, and most importantly my publisher: it's coming out July 14th! That means...

Today's newsletter is a Psychology of Software Teams cover reveal + some book news and early reviews!! This was so fun to put together. 🥰

"will to persist" as a state measure also rapidly erodes if you are sleepy, if someone says something mean to you, and if you are distracted by social media

The "first causal evidence" part of this is completely baffling in a moment when hundreds of lab manipulation tasks are being published

I looked at 200+ artist portfolios. Here's what I learned I went through a ton of artist portfolios, and I saw what a lot of them have to offer. Here's what I took away (and what I'll use!)

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

Where are my Roman Coin genius nerds? Have a friend who has a roman coin necklace as a family heirloom (dating back a long time) and wants to know its date etc. Thank you!

I guess I am kind of an expert on this stuff so I'll drop my take after the kids are in bed.

Quick thread about this, because it's interesting and not well known. I'm not any kind of expert; I've just learned some of the broad outlines through my deep dive into the history of the Haggadah (which contains both languages).

What are your favorite space movies? I'm not talking far future stuff, but stuff like "Contact," or "Apollo 13," or "The Martian."

Stuff that is two steps into tomorrow.

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

From some of the quotes I’ve seen afterward, their “negotiation” was to show up, tell the Iranian side what they wanted, and then when the Iranians didn’t accept it without changes, they ended things. I almost said “ended discussions” but “discussions” implies back and forth which didn’t happen.

If Ms Weikal is out here saying something even vaguely cop-positive, you know it must be true because she feels absolutely no compulsion to hand it to law enforcement.

People yelled at me a few weeks ago when I suggested locally run open models were getting to be pretty powerful. But... it's true.

Further, "magic mineral" with a vague hand wave at the the world ages better than detailed technobabble.

Still, I do agree the film would at least not be worse with a different name.

My brothers agreed with you and fought me endlessly about it. :)

I did say it was a bad take :)

At the time I liked how it said "we'll do anything for Macguffin" concisely and made it easier for me to focus on the rest of the world and story.

Today I say it's exactly what the VC/tech bros represented by the boss guy would have arrogantly named it.

“Unobtainium" was the perfect name for the macguffin in Avatar (blue people), not lazy writing

Ragnhildur seems nice enough and 18th century Icelandic history is very interesting. Hand to God I can personally recommend the book Wasteland with Words: A Social History of Iceland. Give her a follow.

Alas, I don't get to go, this time in part due to a different location. I may be a bit introverted overall, but I've very much enjoyed staffing the ARM64 Windows booth over the years.
