Recover. However you can. It only gets worse if you don’t take action. If you can, quit and find a distraction unrelated to your career. Sometimes it takes years for people to bounce back, sometimes only months. You won’t be your full self

This is the answer. Even now, agency is a nebulous thing, just like intelligence. My theory is that, years from now, we’ll look back and laugh at how far away we are from AGI. I really wish there was a Level 5-type categories like they have

Can you imagine Palo Alto HS running this experiment today? Parents and students would be enraged. The teacher would be fired. The point was to show how easy it is to get caught up in such movements (all of us are susceptible). There’s a go

Businesses are leaving because twitter is increasingly about culture wars and the risk of brand damage is too high. Twitter will soon have multiple pricing tiers and I suspect they will get more aggressive by limiting functionality for non-

Thanks for this. How much are regulations to blame for this mess? ie if we cut regulation, would that lead to lower cost and better outcomes? What is the path to fix this?

Love this article. 1. Developing beliefs and acting on them is a key part of leadership. 2. Without it, you limit career advancement. 3. It's a skill that can be learned.

Typescript is currently the best way to avoid the myriad of issues writing JS. It's an amazing hold over until we get native types. ECMAScript proposals take a long time, but it will eventually come. https://github.com/

Wow I'm going to get downvoted for saying this, but Typescript lets me write, scale and maintain apps without writing tests. It's enough knowing client/server types move together, avoids null/undefined/[]/0&#x2

This is great advice, but getting to a place where this works doesn’t always happen. There’s a natural incentive to not need help. The more help you need to get things done the less valuable you are. Conversely, great leaders are giving tas

How long will it be before it becomes unfair in your view? What if they never open it up and the only way to get access is through YC or knowing the right person. What if you had to give away 10% of your company to get access to AWS (or any
