I came here to say exactly this. I can't tell if it's because I'm not a traditional "tech" person, but 90% of the best minds I've seen are nowhere near tech in general. Having a brilliant mind, going to an &qu

What is the correlation between "writing code" and product management getting better?

Most tech companies are terrible at hiring "managers". I agree with Paul's premise, but the solution to micromanage is missing the point. If companies hired actual manager/leaders, they would see better outcomes.

This is why OpenAI being the "leader" in the space worries me. We need to be building trust in AI systems, not leaning into what the public perception is. On the other hand, maybe it's good they are showing who they really

The interesting part here is that it's actually a two-sided marketplace. Most investors aren't "impressive" either, and thus they'll often not be able to get into the best deals because they have no value add.

Interestingly, I think that's for us to choose. I'm leaning into AI specifically for this reason. I want to build tools to that reduce the drudgery. But I agree, there's going to be a "war" around this and if could

To be fair, you set yourself up for the downvote. There is no science to backup the vegan diet is "far healthier". Also, if the entire world stopped eating meat, we'd have a series of other problems to deal with. Just make i

Wow, this looks like Chat-GPT speak: This highlights the incredibly high-risk nature of the NFT market and underscores the need for careful due diligence before making any purchases, especially ones of high-value. This daunting reality shou

I have a similar but slightly different take on that Instead of "As I get older, I just don't care about new technology" it's more "As I get older, I'm more skeptical of new technology" When I was a youn

You and me reading books about fuzzy logic in the 80s didn't constitute the initial round of AI.

I do think AI is here to stay, but that initial round of AI is going to destroy the world burned fast and hot. I can't even get ChatGPT (+ web plugin), when given a list of restaurants in NYC, to tell me which ones are still open vs ha

Everything about how Meta / Zuck is approaching this is showing how nervous and anxious he is about all of this. From the panic announcement of the Quest 3 before the Vision Pro unveiling to this statement, which, seems weirdly honest

I know I'm reiterating what others have said, but a STRONG +1 to the folks who are advocating for a Yamaha P-515. I bought one a year or two ago, and it sounds amazing, has great feel, is sturdy, but light enough to move. Get the hardw

I'm conflicted but interested in how all this plays out. Traditionally stories, music, art, dance were mediums for humans to express ideas/culture/transmit stories/history to other humans. When we get to a point where AI

First, I want to acknowledge your situation so I don't want to belittle what you went through in any way, but I had a catastrophic series of events happen in my life almost 9 years ago, and Xanax was literally a life saver for me. Taki

Another thing worth calling out, there's nothing wrong with over-engineering solutions in pursuit of knowledge. Especially when it's just a personal project.

Clojure doesn't move much at all. Python and Ruby seem to move a little, JS does seem like it moves extremely fast.

There's so many comments, I'm sure this will get lost. But just so you understand what the grass looks like on the other side. At Google you got paid a great salary, had great 401k and perks to work on projects that most likely g
