I hope parallel universe us hopes we're ok

Yes @discord, I know my nitro access is ending soon, pestering me daily will not get me back.

This wins

In Canada we call them loonies. I presume you will do the same.

Suddenly developed a strong opinion about my car's navigation system.

every time i've heard a developer complain about DEI when you go talk to their coworkers it turns out they were mad about being told to stop harassing women

Zero debt. 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Low body fat percentage. Nutrition is perfect. Mental health on track. Zero alcohol and extremely hydrated. This was my peak. I was 8 years old.

Indeed. We’re currently actively hiring for a Head of Eng and it’s been brutal. If you’re interested, do let me know.

Good.

“I can rebuild salesforce in a day” First - no you can’t Second - when you’re done building the 1% of functionality you call done, now your entire GTM team needs to onboard into it. Who is gonna do that, you? You immediately have a full time job of enabling the team on your inhouse CRM and your salary disappears. Now you hire a new EMEA head of sales and he says he can’t hit his target without five features Salesforce built a decade ago. You vibe code them 20% of the way and ship them too late. They miss your quota and Blame you. The CEO starts having panic attacks. Now you have an incident at 2am. Your entire APAC sales team can’t work for 8 hours while you sleep off your late night goon sesh. Immediately the company requires oncall for This project. You hire 3 more engineers with a total carrying cost of 1.2M, which is double what you were paying Salesforce. Your CTO starts having heart palpitations. Sales misses another quarter and blames your CRM again. Meanwhile other people in the business are vibe coding CRMs to compete with yours. Alex’s sucks they say, I can vibe code better a day. Now 10% of company resources are spent demoing CRM tools. You exercised a bunch of options earlier in the year and have a huge AMT bill. The company promised a secondary at next raise but they just missed another quarter and will not do a secondary. The company decided to scrap your CRM and go back to Salesforce. They thought it would fix everything but it didn’t, because the real problem was that the company was so out of ideas for revenue growth that they let you vibe code a CRM as a seemingly good idea. Another quarter missed. Layoffs ensue. You can’t pay your AMT bill and the IRS foreclosed on your house. The business gets acquired underwater and you get nothing. You’re now living under a bridge in Philly wearing nothing but an Eagles starter jacket, porky pigging around and selling your body for root beer and tranq. Some guy drives by in a corvette and splashes a puddle on your bare ass. You look over the license plate says BUYSAAS. You fade into unconsciousness thinking that you should have just focused on your regular OKRs instead of constantly trying to side project some bullshit.

Next up for AI, reviving rate my poop to crowdsource health data.

Happy 30th anniversary to Quake, a game that changed my life. Dug out my original copy. Same box, manual, and disc I've had since 1996. Three decades later I'm still amazed I got to be part of its history. I wonder how many millions of flags got captured in those decades.

Welp time to login to the birdsite and see how @HunterBiden is handling it and.. yup. Not sure I could be that polite.

I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I swear I'm getting whiplash seeing everyone compliment Vancouver LMAO IT'S SOOOOO ASTRONOMICALLY EXPENSIVE YOU'RE JUST PAYING IN USD and VISITINGGGGG the cost of living is INSANE like worse than socal let's bffr

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem. Two problems, actually. One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired. Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be. You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner. The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke. The AI just invoices you for the outage. And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about. To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game. You didn’t hire a replacement. You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own. Enjoy.

I think someone overloaded the 9 o'clock gun, wow
