Ive been working in AI for about a year, and Ive been working as a web developer for about 20 years. It appears to me that everyone that thinks AI is going to handle development for companies (in the reasonably near future) are also folks w

As someone who has worked in startup environments for 20 years, its rather offensive that anyone in 2024 would claim that employees arent taking risks. In todays salary brackets, one could be comfortably making 220k as a staff dev some huge

Blue LEDs are the bane of my light-sensitive eyes' existence, and it pains me so to know they almost never existed at all. I keep a PC repair kit with me, even though I dont have a desktop computer, because I need to take all of my e

Anytime people talk about failing western economies, I find it easy to make a "you should see the other guy!" argument. We dont have > 500 million people at risk of starving to death in the next 10-15 years, and were not at ris

> The ability for the state to remotely kill your means of transportation, thus remotely controlling our freedom of movement, is a new dystopian level of government control. Indeed, this is the reason they are forcing EVs onto us.

I wonder how many restaurants in NYC make it onto this list lol. Some of the best restaurants in the world only survive 2-3 years here. The number of RIPs is astounding.
