For all the millennials and self-hating Jews supporting a socialist candidate for Mayor, they should read this too.

One of my good friends pointed this out…Here’s an excerpt from the Nobel Peace Prize Winner’s interview shortly before she won the prize. Democrats far and wide need to read this carefully. @CAgovernor @Ilhan @RashidaTlaib @SpeakerPelosi @RepJeffries @BernieSanders @KamalaHarris

I want to explain in a nutshell why the US debt situation is at a very dangerous inflection point. Put simply, the US is now spending 40% more than we’re taking in. This accumulation of debt service payments has spiraled over decades and is starting to squeeze away buying power.…

What many don't seem to realise is that we have entered the age of the showman entrepreneur. The beginnings of every industrial revolution is marked by these showmen. They are necessary because it is not the quiet tinkerer who first pulls the future into the world, but the one…


Amazing, agree 100%

When I politely decline scheduling a "quick call", it's not because I don't literally have the time — there's always room for 15 minutes here or half an hour there! — it's that I can't afford to spare the attention.

Owning code in production changes how we write it. ‘You Build It, You Run It’ isn’t asking too much of developers, imo. It’s a great way to build reliable software.


I feel bad for Sam here, getting accused of being evil while being recorded and interviewed is straight up aggressive. I didn't like how Tucker put him on the spot like that.

Tucker getting wild man. Kinda hilarious how he plays stupid and is basically like, "so... you killed him?"

programmers have a dumb chip on their shoulder that makes them try and emulate traditional engineering there is zero physical cost to iteration in software - can delete and start over, can live patch our approach should look a lot different than people who build bridges

I think this SO OFTEN when I'm building things More source state === more bugs

Please stop mixing source and derived state in your domain objects. I know it's convenient, but it risks drift and subtle bugs. Instead: - Keep only source of truth in your model - Derive everything else when you need it

You cannot force highly skilled people to work a set number of hours. They will just pretend to which is easy to do. They’ll read Reddit, make easy tasks stretch in time, have a longer lunch, longer meetings, etc. The only way I’ve seen or experienced seeing people work a lot of…

when I last hired an engineering team, I made the application a POST to an api route. wrote in the job listing "apply this way, do not apply via the job website you are seeing this on". posted that everywhere. got like 8 applications in 3 weeks and hired 4 of them skill issue

we are interviewing around 15 people a day. most people are just... not good. so many cs graduates with 0 career experience, 0 side projects. i've never seen anything like it.
