"We are the priests who maintain the holy money printer called Steam for our lordship, first of his name Gabe Newell, so that he may purchase fleets of yachts. Don't rock the boat by hiring someone who doesn't get it." T

Sentry is atrocious. The thing runs Postgres, Redis, Clickhouse, Kafka, like a dozen huge components on their own as its backend. Their hosted vs self-hosted support is bad so deploying the thing yourself is a nightmare. The opposite of a z

“Perhaps this overuse of leverage is explained by” it’s explained by it being a silly little toy game. This experiment goes way differently if you use the one page business section of The Economist. WSJ front page is going to be literal cli

As always in Linux at home, “something exotic” here means using Bluetooth at all.

I started out firmly against large companies. My ideal team is 10-20 engineers, in person, hyper focused and all on the same page with mutual respect. Minimal or no product manager types. But I’m also sick of hearing how these teams can “sh

According to Fiona Cicconi, Google’s chief people officer, Google employed 30,000 managers before the recent layoffs. The hard truth is Google needs a Twitter style culling. Take all those billions you're burning and give it to people

This is the sort of stuff I use it for all the time, great examples. Or summarizing new concepts, reformatting strings or tables quickly, asking what some strange code snippet might be doing.

The “everything app” doesn’t get built by brute force and dollars. It has to be emergent. Musk will fail at achieving that vision at least.

Pretty wild take. In what word does someone write some of the greatest fantasy novels of all time and then just hand the last two off to someone else? In the name of “productivity” of all things. This line of thinking sounds like a Hollywoo

Gasp! Next “Managers” will be saying that Friday is now a work “relaxed zone”.

Knowing GPT, this is probably as simple as priming it not to overly explain every time that it has considered the instructions. Otherwise every single time it would say “I have thought about how relevant this is to your preset instructions

They are still stuck in the mindset of “this is our proprietary secret and we can’t let others catch up.” That mindset is just one of the reasons their company is stagnating.

OnlyFans is probably just a slice of this. So is Twitch in some ways.

The highest rank in my mind is the tenured professor who builds businesses from the safety of the university. Those few who poach the brightest students for their lab, leverage that into a startup (or more than one), and exit for millions w

This reminds of how the politburo of China is often made up of engineers, chemists, and people with similar backgrounds. Whereas American politicians are all lawyers.

Layoffs may be needed. But there should be a healthy dose of executives included for making those hiring decisions. And they should do it all at once. Doing it in waves is absolutely brutal.

The consequences of failure in America are higher, that’s why we work so hard. You are a millionaire, or you are homeless. The in between is a hard and continuous struggle to get to the former and avoid becoming the latter.

My partner just got an Ioniq and it is pretty sweet. It’s a brand I never thought twice about that seems to be killing it recently.

Thanks for sharing. Perhaps it’s useful to share that if I had started earlier, I may have gotten more leeway without leaving. Asking the company for a break, literally saying “this is too much for me now.” When I started, it was too late.

Hah yes, that could be part of a solution for sure.

The problem is that, like so many of the hard problems these days, we have no clue what makes our own minds let alone any other mind. What’s the real path? If you could have any resources, no moral qualms at all, unlimited time, what’s the

We spend tons of time at work and it’s where we got a lot of our value in our lives. I recently went to a dinner party where there were lots of people like me who wanted to talk about work and it was refreshing after spending so long talkin

Does anyone know how fleshed out Einstein’s ideas were up until his first papers? It strikes me that there are all these modern minds - Witten with his M theory, Wolfram, Penrose, so many others, who seem to just be putting things out there

Look at who these people we celebrate are in reality. The pathetic venture capitalists who funded this debacle trying to stroke their own egos. The sheltered, immature wunderkind of Jane Street and elite colleges who never struggled a day i

An okay thought but to be honest one thing I like about HN is that some of the experts are here occasionally.

I’ve seen a good number of things get addressed simply because an Issue crossed a threshold of votes/comments over time. Really can make voices heard on the anon internet. Big respect to anyone working for free who takes them seriously

I appreciate that. I tried to leave some ammo for those who had been in the trenches with me, but also had to just let it burn so to speak. Hope you are in a better spot these days.

Who are these people getting all this in their feed? Are you outing yourself or something? Why would the algorithm give you a bunch of nazi content? Never seen anything of the sort, and I follow some very edgy crypto twitter accounts among
