It was disappointing as a 90s kid when I realized there was going to be no Dash Rendar movie

1. It's never been more fun to work on a side project
2. It's easier than ever to pick up a trade. Combine training with following people in the trade on vertical video and you can learn from the best out there
3. My kids are busy enjoying a normal childhood, with simple childhood worries

Is the risk not priced in yet? Is the market too credulous of the West maintaing control? Elasticity of supply? The media bias to treat everything Trump does as catastrophic?

I'm not sure how to reconcile the rhetoric about the Strait of Hormuz and the Brent spot price, which is up, what, 20%? A big deal, but not exactly tectonic.

Mathematics is a field largely unconstrained from needing real world feedback, right? Strikes me as unlikely to generalize

Rubio and Bessent are the only 2 who have any level of competence and it's interesting to see that reflected in these numbers

Oh hey, it's the guy who showed up on Mehdi Hasan's Jubilee

Senior is the key word here

There is nothing here to suggest that code is being shipped unreviewed

The pile on as community nucleation

We are truly underestimating the schadenfreude dividends

Agents are a replacement for junior engineers. Do all businesses need a senior engineer? No. Are a lot of businesses going to find out the hard way they need a senior engineer? It's going to be epic

In a way it's forcing everyone to become more senior more quickly

Coding with agents isn't really the same as the near-simultaneous multitasking that the literature has studied, and these activities will only diverge further as advancements will allow longer and longer leashes

Lunch break sex is great

It's a pretty good info diet to the extent one stays apolitical (I'm aware Andreessen hasn't)

The junior engineer as we know it today is a dying position

People will read this as "AI = bad" but how businesses will come to weigh this is that "junior engineers = bad"

💯

Plus the observation that we're in a higher variance time than before (still negative expected value 😥)

I'm not sure. A credible blow to nuclear proliferation? The seed of homegrown regime change? A bottleneck on China's unsavory ambitions w/o blowback? Really if it does work out, it'a probably over something I'm not even thinking of

It makes me wonder how much we're underestimating the odds that Trump actually Mr. Magoos us into limited geopolitical success but not in time to save the MAGA trash fire before the midterms

Sounds like the setup for an indie film, three self-contained but intersecting stories

Thankfully I'm not actually building anything and trench collapse terrifies me

PSA: Alarm clock change maxxing is where it's at

I learned everything I know about digging a tunnel from vertical video. How screwed am I?

I guess we replaced Flash Player with Blink, without coming up with a replacement for the authoring tool

I enjoyed Dimension of the Machine a lot more, but Call of the Machine is pretty good if you prefer Quake II

I bring good news: Quake II is the sole Quake title to get a sequel (Quake 4)

O'Neill cylinder future aesthetic but instead of grass wasteland it's practical streetcar suburbanism

Don't run an open relay? There's guides and AI now for setting this stuff up, people don't have to rely any more on the defaults set by Red Hat from 2002
