When you find your little buddies passed out in the bathroom give them a pillow make sure they are in a safe recovery position and leave a pint of water out for them and maybe a Diet Coke to help with the rehydration. They will thank you for it.

As a software engineer my blood boils when my coworkers use AI to work in my domain because it's a lost learning opportunity for them, a lost teaching opportunity for me, and all to still get it wrong

The thing about companies they are trying to build a industry on customers who are just like this. They will burn out fast and get board as there is nothing to learn and improve and grow on. Just one of the many reasons why it’s a dead end of an industry.

"You're not trying to beat anyone else at an audition. That's not your job. Your job is to play so well that they can't imagine *not* hiring you." -Lynne Ramsey, one of the best viola teachers I ever had, and a wizard at getting right to the point
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.
