For serious software I’m firmly in this camp now. Feels like there’s definitely camps forming.
Replying to @file_mutex
people who dont read the code are not serious people and it takes a serious person to ship production software

I always believe this is the role of oppression: to keep you unimaginative. To never see youself as deserving or worthy. To believe there is no future where you rest or become. To never think of yourself as human enough. So, all your work is to prove yourself as worthy.

as a Spaniard this is such a culture shock at events, we talk about food, rent, football, where someone's from... then you move to SF and people are like “what problem are you obsessed with?” brother I am obsessed with dinner
Been in SF for almost 2.5 years. And figured two types of people: Camp 1: Stanford or Berkeley? Which company? How much equity? Know any VCs? Camp 2: What’s the last thing that changed how you think? What problem are you obsessed with? What did you read last? One exhausts me. The other reminds me why I moved here. 😅

Peter Drury saying the last time Morocco lost a game of football in normal time (excluding extra time and penalty shootouts) ...was against Kenya at Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi during CHAN 2024 in August 2025 😳

It's giving Severance vibes. What in the heck will the future of work look like?
META IS AN ABSOLUTE MESS INSIDE RIGHT NOW Wired just dropped an exclusive, and the details are wild. This week someone interrupted a livestreamed Meta meeting, open to thousands of employees, with an expletive-filled rant about "being the company's bitch." They told the presenters to find a specific Meta AI executive and "tell him that he's a piece of shit." A presenter covered their face with their hands. Employees in the chat called the start "spicy." Here is what's behind it. Meta's AI restructuring cut 8,000 jobs last month, 10% of the company. The same restructuring feeds a unit called Applied AI, where 6,500 engineers and product managers have been drafted in waves since April. There is no application process. You get selected, and your options are join or leave the company. Members call themselves "draftees." The new job: writing puzzles and coding problems to train Meta's AI models, two tasks a week. People hired to build apps for billions of users now assemble training data for hundreds of AI scientists. "It's literally the gulag," one employee told WIRED. "You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week." Another: "Most people find the work soul-crushing." At the same time, Meta started recording US employees' clicks and keystrokes to generate more AI training data. Over 1,600 employees signed a petition demanding it stop. The concession: employees can pause the tracking for up to 30 minutes. Zuckerberg's response came in an internal memo Friday: "We've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more." He repeated his promise of no more mass layoffs this year. His fixes: limits on the manager ratios Meta had deliberately pushed to 50-to-1 on some teams, bigger budgets for team events, a hackathon next month, and assigned desks by the end of the year. That same memo says Meta's north star is "to be the best place for the most talented people in the world to make an impact." The most talented people in the world are writing puzzles for a model and asking permission to pause the keystroke logger. META declined to comment.

Anthony Bourdain: “…the world is, in fact, filled with mostly good and decent people who are simply doing the best they can. Everybody, it turns out, is proud of their food (when they have it). They enjoy sharing it with others (if they can). They love their children...”

I really love the people who are desperately trying to suggest this is "bullish for Anthropic" and "proof that Mythos/Fable is the path to AGI." It's a bunch of Business Idiots getting scared by ghost stories and throwing their weight around. It's also very funny
