Did the post-Winter2025 CLI coding revolution just help the MTA release an app update so much better that it's virtually unrecognizable & appears to be better than any private sector transit app?
Hold on the MTA actually cooked with this it even shows you the best cars to be in

I encourage everyone — especially junior developers — to internalize that "talking in meetings" is more valuable than "shipping faster" and companies are rational to reward the former over the latter x.com/theandreiverdes/status…

My coworker got promoted over me. He was worse at coding. Better at politics. I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster. He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game. He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work". That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance. Six months later I quit. Started freelancing. Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly. The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used. Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence. If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations. Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.

I have never been more confident or competent in my job, have access to the most advanced AI tools money can buy, and still spend at least an hour every month relearning that null != ā€˜foo’ is false

I asked Curtis Sliwa "are you okay with losing and knowing you contributed to Mamdani's victory?" I did my best to relay the concerns of capitalist america and used @BillAckman's tweet as a reference "a vote for Curtis Sliwa is a vote for Zohran Mamdani" This was Sliwa's response.

Gun violence was not a problem when I was a kid. by RFK Jr.
9 Sep 2025
RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

I assume the answer is basically ā€œincentive structuresā€ but it’s incredible that we have always had the ability to bang out step by step instructions and detailed information about how the code works/should be updated and largely just…didn’t

College is essentially a walkable city with good infrastructure, full of civilians working toward self-betterment. There's still a respect for expertise and facts, as well as community and forgiveness. Leaving that is tough.

I think college ruined my perception of community in real adult world because the way i yearn for something that kind of only exist when you live on campus..
