OpenCode with Minimax M2 experiment is going pretty well. Does a lot of plumbing decently and charges fractions of a cent.

Removed YouTube from the home screen on my phone. So good for mental health.
I now start each day with five minute doomscrolling in the calculator app.

Looking at age of founders might be a survivorship bias.
I do believe people from all age groups start companies, but as you all know, most companies fail within the first 2 years.
My theory is that young business owners are out there, but they churn at a faster rate to be visible on age charts.

Managers come up with convoluted ways to motivate employees.
Meanwhile, most devs I know are happy when (a) folks use their code (b) their colleagues are happy to see folks use their code.

'Don't be loyal to any company' is advice repeated to death, but I think it's crap.
Blind faith is of course bad. There's always power asymmetry at play. Career risk must be managed.

So baffling to see how few understand that running an online business is a numbers game.
I've only built software for others, but did so without undermining the ability to scale: architecturally, product design-wise, including monetization.

Not all employees operate on faith.
Goals reaching for the stars are exciting for some. Aim high, and they can find motivation in that.
Others need directions grounded in reality. But they can still derive passion from approachable targets. Let them be analytical, don't assume disengagement.

Small businesses should add structure with care, and embrace the strengths of individuals first.
There's no new process that only fixes the bad stuff without strings attached.

One is hello, and just admit you thought of the other first.

Lot of clarity in not having more than what people have paid to date.
If there's room for proper software engineering in an environment like this, that's almost as good as growing potatoes on Mars.

Any time I see a GitHub URL in CI scripts (so practically every time I look at CI scripts), I can't shake the weird feeling that we have yet to learn some harsh lessons in release engineering.

The AI-generated ad from Coca-Cola is truly as atrocious as any commenter points out.
But do you think the tens of millions who will see it, not primed for the nonsensical frugality of one of the wealthiest companies on this planet, will notice the difference?
