I heard that Meta did another round of layoffs.
If one thing can bring tech workers together in this moment its how sick we are of losing our jobs and our peers losing jobs, and always feeling like we might lose our jobs. For years.
I've seen many people leaving this field because of it.

Real problem? The product exists because it's possible. Not because it is the result of a deliberative design process to find the best way to satisfy a concrete purpose.

Everything is designed for single male developers in their twenties.
Ashlee’s example is actively doing harm but you also notice it in much smaller ways, like iPads not having multiple accounts. Because it’s impossible to imagine sharing one with your family and wanting to limit kids access.

Ok well I’m deaf so that’s hard. And now it’s not safe to drive bc I’m pretty sure I’m having withdrawal symptoms bc I ran out of the SNRI I need filled.
Nothing about these software systems seems designed for people in the way we need them

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

You can't lose what you never had in the first place.
Keir Starmer has this morning urged Cabinet to keep its nerve amid grim opinion polling (today’s YouGov put Labour in third place behind Reform & Tories)
“Governments do not lose because polls go down. They lose when they lose belief or nerve. We will do neither,” he said

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

for these situations, i think:
- the person who prompts it should be charged with a crime
- the company who owns it must be regulated to put reasonable prompt rejection to prevent someone from trying
- there are companies whose entire business model is this; they should be fined and jailed to hell
- the person who prompts it should be charged with a crime

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Software developers (myself included!) were collectively fools for not unionizing when we were at peak bargaining power.
It's a very bad outcome! the "creator economy" is very bad and has bad incentives. not to say Paul is wrong, but
It’s also possible that software production could become another content format, akin to video or podcasts. That would make the monetization models similar to other creators. This isn’t a bad outcome. Software development as small business needs revitalization.

it’s hella dope that the most optimistic takes on the future of Working With Machine is that we are now expected to do all the bullshit of training 100 junior engineers without any of the dopamine of seeing them grow it owns it rules
In essence a language model changes you from a programmer who writes lines of code, to a programmer that manages the context the model has access to, prunes irrelevant things, adds useful material to context, and writes detailed specifications. If that doesn't sound fun to you, you won't enjoy it.

I agreeb with Alexis. We shouldn't tax unrealized gains.
That's why the new rule will be that gains are realized when assets are collateralized.
This solves the billionaire problem and keeps Alexis happy.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
