Code is never the challenge. Well-rested comfortable people who feel emotionally safe have solved every problem I’ve put in front of them.

Rest in peace to Gene Shalit, a man whose Kermit the Frog interview went absolutely off the rails in 1984.
Nobody has interviewed a Muppet like this since.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

It's weird to read the style of discourse here. Engagement numbers on xits? narcissistic. But you can talk about llms without people going into meltdowns. Downside: a fascist runs the place.

"Nobody uses Rust in production", he emailed (with Thunderbird) from his laptop (running Windows) to a mailing list (on AWS, behind Cloudflare), which I then read (in Firefox) on my phone (running Android) after clicking a link (in Discord) to the list archive (served by Fastly).

The current state of my Twitter experience: my DMs are now all bitcoin/cryptocrap phishing expeditions.

Tuesday is a Pittsburgh cat who has never been CONVICTED of a federal offense. She is very sweet, she has been spayed and has only allegedly punched fascists. Tuesday needs a home and you need a Tuesday

ALT Tuesday the black cat meowing with glee about punching fascists
ALT Tuesday the black cat has been ear tipped and this indicates neutering but also punk rock

hi kids! it's me, your favorite sexagenarian here to tell you that when I was a kid we taxed the shit out of the wealthy and not only did we have money to build bridges and schools and moon rockets, rich people still had plenty of money left over to spend on rich people bullshit

The more I understand how bad SBF fucked the crypto industry the more I'm inclined to agree that he is an effective altruist

Chad, you didn’t prepare for a system design interview, but I have a simple problem: show me the architecture you’d use to publish 50K tweets/s with a power law distribution for fan out. Your biggest user has 50M followers. Once you’re done, you can compare it to Craigslist

My reaction to this was not to kick the CEO out, but instead to remind them quietly that their presence had an effect on the people in the situation zoom. But we all liked that guy and it was a small-ish company.
I will never forget @this_hits_home’s remark (when we worked at the same company) that if the CEO entered the situation room during an incident, he would kick the CEO out.

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_B… about Fred Brooks: "The most important single decision I ever made was to change the IBM 360 series from a 6-bit byte to an 8-bit byte, thereby enabling the use of lowercase letters. That change propagated everywhere." May his memory be a blessing.

The assessment we were all hoping to read.
Today's Substack is about the death of the myth of Elon Musk, and how his destruction of Twitter has become a public referendum on his own incompetency, arrogance, greed and desperation. Musk has publicly shown himself to be a Fraudulent King.
