Ed's not a crank, but you need to pay close attention to the topic of his proclamations to separate the wheat from the chaff. He's right about some things -- off the top of my head: -- OAI's perpetual fundraising, due to thei

At one job, we had a garish chicken hat that lived in your office if you were the last one to break the build. This was in the days before automated CI, so a broken commit meant that someone wasn't running the required tests.

Here are the results I just got. 1. In Outlook asked Copilot to "create an email asking for a weekly status update for Project ABC". Iterating a bit, I asked it to be more casual and shorter. Here's what I got: Hey Team

Go mentor a high school robotics team, or volunteer to help run events. It's 100% sports, minus the athletic dimension. I see tons of lifetime friendships being made.
