Like I said, their little ceremonies.

I’ll go out on a little limb, it might be sales specific. My company is 100% work from home. All the engineers and product and design work remote, maybe come into the office once a week just because.

The sales team however is strongly encouraged to come in as much as possible. I think it’s a morale thing. Sales teams become these weird cults, maybe necessarily. It’s really hard to pick up the phone and make a call when you’ve been rejected 5 times in a row. The teams little ceremonies are designed to help push through that.

I just hate all their separate OSes. I’d buy an iPad pro if it ran osx. I’d buy this thing if it ran osx. I’m not buying a powerful $3k computer that can only run apps.

Fuck oncoming drivers, blind them more.

I’m honestly surprised Nintendo hasn’t done this themselves. It’s such a great idea and the Zelda universe and lore fit perfectly into a dungeon delving rogue like.

There is no possible fix.

Have you seen the performance and efficiency of these arm chip? The performance and battery life of Apple’s chips compared to the Intel chips before then? Intel should be absolutely embarrassed.

Just Captain.

A career is about skill mastery. Pick something valuable, that you enjoy or can tolerate, and just keep practicing at it. If you’re smart enough to go to an engineering school that’s the right track. Otherwise welder, electrician, plumber, tree trimmer, lineman, whatever. Just master the skill. Don’t do the bare minimum to get a paycheck. Master. The. Skill.

How has no one mentioned The Wire. It might be, without exaggerating, the best show ever made, still.

You could have, you know, not bought and ruined oculus, and destroyed the VR ecosystem.

I was at GDC the year of the acquisition. There were Facebook suits walking around the showroom floor writing checks to sign exclusivity deals with anyone showing off a VR game.

Honestly it’s a bad idea. Might be fine, might not be. Not worth the risk. Some unhoused folks are addicts or mentally ill. People tend to return to places that become familiar. The might come back again. Maybe to rob you.

I’m speaking from experience. I gave a guy a place to live to try to get back on his feet, in exchange for some work. Realized he’s a severe addict and couldn’t get rid of him. Then I look like the asshole for putting him back on the street.

I can’t wait to see the clusterfuck when the blockchains unravel.

That point about context switching most of it to me. A meeting with engineers is so expensive focus time wise. A meeting with managers is just another meeting.

I prefer to think of my manager as my agent. They have my best interest at heart, only want me to succeed, and do the messy work so I can keep focusing at what I’m good at.

My team has as engineering manager and a product manager. I also don’t like being told what to do, but whenever I’m pulled into one of these many meetings for some reason, I’m so grateful to have them

You ever raked an acre? Or three? Ten?

Seriously, why aren’t we just using rail?

That’s why I’m raising my kid in the woods.

That’s not the shape of a duck.

They already have. Can you install Super Monsters Ate My Condo? Released 10 years ago, great android game, gone now.

Your second point here is exactly what we should fear; that it might becomes legal only for companies and governments to use AI but not the masses.

That’s why I’m of the opinion that we should maybe just get over it. It’s going to continue to become easier and easier to use it for horny reasons. The guy wearing the smart glasses might be seeing every women around him undressed in real time. We’re just a few years away from that and there is no acceptable way to prevent that.
