Had a senior exec pick up his phone, punch some words into AI, then as-it-was-generating-a-response flip it around and put it in front of me. This shit has progressed well past seriousness and into the absurd

Great. How do we fix this. It's like we know things are destined to go down in a flaming pile, and we're just watching so we can change it AFTER that happens. Soz. Kinda a "dear diary" response, but am frustrated.

That has little to do with what I said. A third of the world lives in poverty. That's the fault of capitalism.

Literally the most overwhelming thought, reading this, is "man, capitalism is a mistake" The amounts of money circulating whilst some of us struggle to make rent ... Nothing fair, or just, about this world we live in

As someone who's worked in UI/UX for 2 decades, I feel this too. Recent developments have made me feel a form of guilt that's new to me. As though we've all had it too good for too long. Which is probably at least in par

It's impressive how much worse MS Teams has gotten. Genuinely baffling decisions on every single level in that UI...

What I love about these types of questions is that they come completely out of the blue Like someone will rock up and ask for some stat that's completely irrelevant to the story, just "to make a point", without looking it up

Plus a lot of it has been about semantically correct formatting of your content and code. It's a moving target in that a lot of orgs try to "game the system", or at least exploit it as best they can :) Good content will mostl

I'm not keen on Apple's products. Getting their watch to go with my Pixel phone seems kinda ... no. So, this product is for the part of the world that doesn't use iPhones, I suppose. I'm kinda keen. Awaiting a MKBHD vide

Also literally has a link to "conclusions" :)

Because it leaves to the imagination, probably.

Worked in eye-tracking research for a bit. Things you learn; - Small text is hard to read - Making things hard to read means they get missed sometimes - Making it the only thing on the screen makes people try to read it really hard - Which

Glad you're able to work like that. A lot of people aren't though. For them, there needs to be a different solution.

This is a problem with how employment works, more than anything. I've always "hung out" with colleagues after work hours. Because we're all in the same boat, and have more in common with each-other than anyone else, beca

I think "personality" deserves its own category + percentage.

Unfortunately, management roles are often inherited, instead of being earned.

Yup. Google Keep for anything fleeting. Evernote for keepers. Google Docs for structured stuff.

That's embarrassing.

Our HR department wouldn't let me give proper feedback. Even though I've had some people that, with a little tweak to their knowledge, or a slight shift in thinking, could become great hires. There's tonnes of candidates out

"this one algorithm" -> 6000+ words No proper headings. To hell with that. I won't ever know what they're on about.

Total tangent. Amazon Prime's video library here in Australia disapointed me to such an extend that I unsubscribed within minutes of subscribing. The dashboard has recommendations. In those recommendations, on this single page, Twiligh

This is a real, relevant and scary thing. Very real, even for huge content creators, that can - on a whim - get their butts handed to them.

I want 7 extra hours in a day. 4 for of those would be allocated to sleeping.

Yeah, you really have to develop a personality that's able to deal with the interruptions. From both sides: you need to change, and you need to change others. Besides that part, there's plenty of roles where you can negotiate time

I'm not suggesting it's the right thing to do. I don't decide on what's wrong or right. I'll let people that do on their own.

For the people who don't give 2 shits. I realize that sounds like a meme, but it's kinda true, isn't it? Might be better to have kids so you can rease them as super-heroes that fight the planet-killers? This is a very un-ycom

Some logic (be it faulty or not) brought me to wonder; isn't Google's lead in AI a direct result of sitting on figuratively all the data in the world? That must account for a huge portion of their advances, right?

There's different types of advertising though. And it's not necessarily blatant advertising that's the issue. A lot of ads are designed differently. Article form. Informative video content. A promoted Facebook post that ends
