I also live in a "democracy" as well, but the U.S. has as much corruption as any banana republic or former Soviet bloc state. We just haven't reached ostensible, Mexico-tier levels that irk the average citizen. Democracy is

The real AI psychosis is the expectation of 5x/10x productivity gains akin to the mythical 10x developer during the 2010s JS growth period. At the end of the day, we can only read so much and take on so much work before we bottleneck o

A nice relocation package to a sunny climate would be pretty attractive to many qualified U.S. residents in the northern states. Why are universities not creating a talent pool for their self-sustainment? Many of us have had to suffer thro

Take a break for a few months to recalibrate what you want from life. Tech will still be here when you’re ready again. Go travel, use your physical body to walk and hike and lift, have a couple of flings, go to a bar at noon, work a few t

Did they try asking Claude to fix these issues? If it turns out this problem is AI-related, I'd love to see the AAR.

The AI hype seems to be a smokescreen for mass layoffs from the CoVid era. The increased attention on the H-1B visa’s hiring process and labor market impact reveals a far more underreported and significant contributor to job shortages. Als

I suspect Israel does whatever they want under the auspices of national security, gives “private” cybersecurity corporations latitude to circumvent international laws, then packages it all up to sell to the highest bidder.

The real benefactors of AI in software development are senior devs who’ve had enough of boilerplate, framework switching, and other tedious low-value tasks. You cut down on the former laborious tradition of picking through StackOverflow fo

Payment plans on luxury products are a time-honored tradition in the U.S. I’m not sure how you justify a room temperature hamburger costing that much.

Suburbs -> city -> rural is a common life path for folks these days. I suspect a lot of those that make it out to the country are in for a surprise regarding amenities, socialization, and distractions/entertainment. Rural livin

Perfectionism is the enemy of done. It’s a good principle to keep in mind when you’re working on any project so that your valuable time isn’t wasted. Sometimes it is fun to explore something and sometimes it’s better to never start. I hav

Captain Beefheart music is the type of music you’re _supposed_ to like , but really doesn’t live up to its reputation. Zappa music, otoh, reveals the genius behind it once you pay attention. Then again, half of his catalog is just self-ind
