you guyssss. emo post incoming!!! the first thing i got at onboarding was NOT. a laptop. it was a surprisingly emotional reminder that i’ve been making things my entire life. one of our first exercises was to share what we made as kids. and what we make now. dangerous prompt for someone who came out of the womb with a glue stick and a vision.

I've heard that the vacuum of space is actually really good at conducting heat so this sounds like a really good idea

code mode has helped @cloudflare save ~93% on token cost talking to peers in the industry whose spend is creeping towards upwards of $100k per engineer per year you do the math on the cost savings of that for a large engineering org

No matter what your theory about birth rate collapse is, there’s some data point that disproves it. Japan didn’t have the pill when fertility collapsed. There are highly patriarchal countries where fertility is collapsing. It’s collapsing in countries that are still poor. It’s collapsing in places with more generous social support for families. It’s almost like a psychic alien just decided to phase humans out.

So deserved, Revolut is an amazing company and significantly changed my life Before Revolut I had so many problems with banks I used to have a Dutch bank called Rabobank who would freeze my card at random times while I was traveling, and no they didn't even have an unfreeze button in the app, I mean they barely had an app I'd literally have to fly back to Holland and go into the bank office in my tiny hometown to then make an appointment with them to unfreeze it One time in I think 2014 I was in Bali and they froze it, I flew back and at the bank office they said it was time for me to get a mortgage, when I said I didn't want one they said do you have insurance? They were freezing my card to then use it to make me come to their office to then upsell me shit Another time in 2017 (I think some of you remember) they froze my card in the US, and with no money I became homeless, luckily X (back then Twitter) helped me out and you all ordered Ubers for me on request and @manuthan gave me a place to sleep at @outsiteco in Venice You don't hate dinosaur banks enough! After experiencing all that I got Revolut and I never had any issue like that again (Well except for moving to Portugal where I was forced to open a Portuguese bank account at MillenniumBCP, which was possibly an even worse experience than Rabobank, my premium package private banking account manager would always be unreachable and only email me to tell me she'd go on holiday and would be even more unreachable 😂) Revolut has been my main bank app for the last decade and it's been wonderful, I've pumped millions through it and it barely flinched, sometimes they ask me documents to prove where the money comes from, but that process is super smooth and via chat Revolut is another great example that you can make something that makes everyone's life significantly better and society will reward you by making you rich!

I don't understand these people. First we are accused of being too much slaves. Now we are not obedient enough. So what is it?

We’re only a couple years away from women blaming the damages of feminism on men

there’s a dude on youtube making a video with a burst blood vessel in his eye. the title is “software developer driven to insanity by 2026 job market” and he’s pointing at his eye as evidence of the stress he’s going through. garrett’s a rather normal dude and there were no obvious tells as to why this guy has not been able to find a job for 9 months since he was laid off in july. but there was a hint. at one point he describes how he went really far in an interview process, and he was absolutely sure he was gonna get the job. they hire someone else and the dude is incredulous. he asks them wtf!? they show him the winning candidate entry. garrett used 50% ai and 50% manual coding. he was sitting there being thoughtful and deliberate and properly naming functions and variables and designing modular architectures. meanwhile the winning application was a dude who used 100% ai and his app had a shit ton more features. and he delivered it faster. so, that’s the kind of dude being hired now. garrett didn’t get the job. but someone else did. so the job is there. the job was open. just not for you. the thing getting you hired in 2019, like obsessing over code quality and maintainability and best practices, will get you fired in 2026. the market has spoken. if you want to land a dev job, make more slop. they want more features done faster at a lower cost. your job is not to argue. it is to provide the thing they are seeking. pick 3 companies you really wanna work for, then build their entire app in a weekend as your cover letter. applying to doordash? build their 3-sided market place in 2 hours. applying to google? build your own search engine that does a 2-hour web crawl. reading code is a dead thing. no one reads their own code anymore, let alone yours. they will run your app. and they’ll judge you off that. build more slop. build a slop empire. imagine more slop. be the slop. slop slop slop. get the job. make money. give your boss the slop he wants. don’t argue. slop is peace. slop is strength. inhale the slop. exhale it. oh you wanna be an artist? cute. go code on a city street like a bucket drummer. you code by hand for tips now. otherwise, off to the slop factory. enjoy it! enjoy the sloppagaden! make a little money!

disagree, HR is one of the most important roles in a business, especially recruiting (which clearly falls under HR) companies, especially startups, are fundamentally about the people. HR can help build a culture, keep the messaging consistent, etc.
