Was talking recently with a friend about how hard it is to write blog posts and give talks these days. The longer you’re in the tech industry the more your opinions end up being “well it depends” and “I’m not sure”. These don’t quite make for good blog posts, hah.

I love seeing major brands make NFT and web3 announcements these days. It’s a good indicator of how much of a disaster their product teams are. You missed the hype cycle to grift your customers, but still feel obligated to ship what you blew time on. Impressive stuff.

Whether or not you believe in 10x engineers, taking your best engineers and promoting them to be a -3x manager is a bad idea. You lose a great programmer, and their bad management is multiplied across all their reports. Management shouldn't be a reward for good programming.

- Let’s launch an API!
- Wow, people love us and our API!
- Cool, look at all these users using our API!
- People love it! Those scumbags!

- Let’s shut down the API entirely!
- What’s a nazi?
