Our team is assessing some new tools and one of our VPs produced a document just like this and none of us read it because it was obvious that it was generated slop and way too long. I don't get what value such tomes are actually provid

I'm wondering what this could mean to the future of software work and AI use, care to weight in? I don't have a good mental model for this period of time (I do agree with your sense of things).

Definitely want to talk about this too. I've been thinking of my own daily learning through tools like Anki and trying to devise a sort of "life stack" where I'm adding stuff and refreshing myself on it and this top comm

This so much this. We don’t even have a good model for how invertebrate minds work or a good theory of mind. We can keep imitating understanding but it’s far from any actual intelligence.

My personal version of this was realizing that the bar for being a functional, relatively successful adult is FAR lower than I realized as a kid. Many adults can't get things which I find fairly rudimentary right and it explains a lot.

Personally this is what I’m hoping for. Stories I read about services sold as AI turning out to be minimum wage workers tells me that as much as everyone thinks this is the dawn of a new age of hyperintelligent machines we haven’t gotten as

You've sent me down a really interesting rabbit hole as someone who is trying to move away from just writing and understanding how React works. Can you explain a little more why this felt worth pursuing? I'm interested in what sor

If I had my druthers on specific industries to focus on it would likely be in either finance or some sort of logistics field. My last role was an education CMS product and while that was fine it never felt like things would go anywhere I wa

I've been doing the same, my next car and hopefully my last will be an old Grand Marquis. I can fix it myself, no tracking, and just goes forever.

Glad to see that the Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ has more machines than anywhere else to the state. Love that place.

Your 3rd bullet really hits hard, I had many colleagues at an old job who would do insane things for our company because they were on a visa and had purchased a home and they explained to me that they can't afford to not do every singl

I'm so jealous of this. I live in a major metro area of NYC and there's still no fiber out to my town. This is so cool.

I totally agree I just feel like there's a sweet spot in the early 2000s where crash safety was better (not the best, but way closer to modern) and traction controls were standard but you didn't have all the spyware. My 2000 4Runn

Same here, I bought mine just as pandemic car prices plunged. It's not my primary right now but it might just become it. It's sad because I'm a car guy and I like some of the newer tech and all, I just can't stand all th

This is an excellent example of what the author wrote as "taxing but skillful metacognition" and it's great! You hit the nail on the head that it's really easy to lose track of what's happening and where you are.
