I built this a few weeks ago because I missed the simplicity of Pivotal Tracker when it came to managing projects and since then it's grown substantially to a few hundred users. More interesting is that there are a few thousand storie

I see you speak from experience. I feel like I'm watching the same cycle play out over and over again, which is that a new, transformative technology lands, people with a vested interest spend a lot of time denouncing it (your examples

What do you do if it ruins your life on the way to getting your day in court? If you get fired, your employer won't be forced to rehire you, and they are likely protected from any retaliation against you because they were acting in go

Just the threat of a lawsuit will be enough to make most people give in. Hard to fight against deep pockets even when you are in the right.

Most informed analysts say Russia has the opposite problem. They don't have any more meat for the grinder without tapping the middle and upper class of Russian citizens, which will have repercussions, potentially serious ones, for Put

I donate to the party, and I donate at the individual limit. At that level they still care because people who donate at that level are connected with other people who donate at that level, and those people tend to reach out and coordinate.

Sounds like the message artists were giving when generative AI started blowing up.

Honestly, I donate enough money to politicians to make them stand up and take notice when I email or call them and share my thoughts, which leads me to the conclusion that people in the middle and lower class are going to need to find ways

My problem with this is that people like Larry Ellison are more likely to want to use this against other people but would excuse themselves from any consequences.

This is fascinating to me, having been at a few companies with market caps north of $50B in the tech space. The senior exec's office space aren't fundamentally different from anyone else's. I wonder if it's an old-mone

That's a very valid argument. Both SpaceX and Tesla are quite capital efficient. Maybe another angle to consider is what's being optimized for? What outcomes would be considered successful for these federal agencies? That&#x27

As someone who's home insurer pulled out of California and so I had to scramble to find another carrier, I looked at the FAIR plan and it is completely untenable for most people. My insurance was already high, ~$2000/year for cov

I need more engineering blogs like this. Just seems like a fun project.

This has not happened for 15 years. It's entirely theoretical given current conditions, and we need to ground discussion in the reality where things are now.

o1-preview built me an iOS app that is now in the app store. It only took me about 3 hours of back and forth with it go from very basic to adding 10 - 20 features, and it didn't break the existing code when refactoring for new feature

This is a pretty clear summary of a real problem in most work environments. I have some thoughts about why, but I'm holding onto your articulation to ruminate on in the future.

My concern with this is that it fundamentally undermines competition, which is a promise of the markets. Being more efficient means delivering products more cheaply than your competitors, which is good for the market. This sort of collusion

So you would be ok with contractors who are building the houses (often as subcontractors) coordinating their prices for the work to maximize the cost to the developer?

I used to be this way, but I've started to err on the side of video because there's a lot that's unspoken/unfiltered through the journalists biases if you watch someone in an interview. Body language, what they leave un

For most people the amortized cost of a phone over its life is pretty small. If you spend $1000 on a phone and it lasts you 3 years, that's ~$28 a month. A lot of people spend that on coffee each month. The value they get out of the

The reality is, after managing very large teams, is that a lot of the work teams decide to do don't really move the needle. Managers let it slide because they are afraid to look like their teams aren't doing valuable work, and do

OpenBao is a fork of Vault. I'm not sure how well-supported the project is, but there is a decent amount of enthusiasm.

It's just momentum at this point. They don't even have to play any of the traditional anti-trust / monopoly games that companies of yore did. Look at AWS and the Elasticsearch situation. Amazon didn't really do anythi

The video actually calls out that families needing to sit together make the idealized (Steffen) method impossible in the real world, but then presents a modified version which takes that and other wrinkles into account.

Same. The boarding process is the most annoying part, whatever the method, and the sooner it's over and done, the sooner I can settle in.

I like your take, but what are the data points that lead you to the optimistic side of where things are going? Do you have a rubric or framework for thinking about "given improvements in X, Y, and Z, we are much better off now than a

This is where regulation steps in. A regulatory body should make the cost of certain failure scenarios so painful that companies are incentivized to make better choices. We probably don't need regulations about the color choices of t-

Not speaking to the content specifically, but no where does that article describe what MDN means. I clicked through a few links and they all only use the acronym.

How far are we from that right now? If you have an internet connection you basically have access to 95%+ of the information available in the world right now. Is your goal to completely delegate having to think through that information? T
