I don’t want to be “allowed” if I can afford it
I want to be joyfully included
And if $6,000 is too much, ok fine! Let’s go somewhere cheaper. Let’s all go to Colorado together, we used to love that as kids. Anything!

No explanation why the project should exist at all, or what is gained by it. To anyone with actual experience, it's full of red flags and is clearly chaotic, pointless make-work.

"Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft"
I have an open position in my team for a IC5 Principal Software Engineer. The position is in-person in Redmond.
My goal is to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030. Our strategy is to combine AI *and* Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft's largest codebases. Our North Star is "1 engineer, 1 moth, 1 million lines of code". To accomplish this previously unimaginable task, we've built a powerful code processing infrastructure. Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale on problems such as code understanding.
The purpose of this Principal Software Engineer role is to help us evolve and augment our infrastructure to enable translating Microsoft's largest C and C++ systems to Rust. A critical requirement for this role is experience building production quality systems-level code in Rust—preferably at least 3 years of experience writing systems-level code in Rust. Compiler, database, or OS implementation experience is highly desired. While compiler implementation experience is not required to apply, the willingness to acquire that experience in our team is required.
Our team is driven by a growth mindset. We are diverse team with a wide range of skills and perspectives. We take on bold risks. We work and play well with others. We love to bring value to internal and external customers. We have learned that our diversity and growth mindset is critical to success in the rapidly changing word[sic] of AI-based tools.
Our team is part of the Future of Scalable Software Engineering group in the EngHorizons organisation in…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:osg2vzhifd2tjfsvfwua7scy/bafkreib5czpzkn2nl46wayveg3tbl5tbos3uc5qodzentj2sizxvug6hk4@jpeg)

Whenever you see someone very smart doing something irrational, it’s usually because of pressure from above…. and this being Microsoft, uh huh.

“OpenAI’s court filing argued that the harms in this case were at least partly caused by Raine’s ‘failure to heed warnings, obtain help, or otherwise exercise reasonable care,’ as well as the ‘failure of others to respond to his obvious signs of distress.’”
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.

that’s right, the Trump admin now restricts foreign-made drone use by realtors, conservation researchers, and filmmakers more than it does the use of foreign-made drones by the actual military
This is truly bonkers, it is WAY more restrictive than DoD for military use which specifically does NOT include cameras and batteries and which ONLY covers a few countries not everybody.

This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Anyway the problem with a permanent vibescession caused at least in part by social media posturing is that while it might screw Trump in the short term it really screws the politics of generosity and solidarity in the long term. Believing times are bad makes people more selfish.
