@paulg Wine quality is as subjective as art quality. There is no expert in the world that can tell the difference between a $50 and a $500 bottle of wine in a blind tasting. We taste the story, the brand, and our current mood. The liquid in the bottle is just a vehicle for emotions.

@shreyas Agreed. Products are more defined by the paths not taken, rather than the ones taken.

Loyalty is never rewarded — unless you own a good chunk of stock in a unicorn.

"he took over one of my client’s projects completely" This is the real reason to hire good software engineers in 2025. They can take over entire projects and free up your time and mental capacity in a way AI can't. Of course, this raises the hiring bar even further.

@dhh It’s less about who the tax is collected from, and more about how the tax dollars are spent. The US and Denmark couldn’t be more different in that regard.

@dvassallo This might sound weird, but the real shift we need isn’t banning remote work—it’s automating all the BS admin jobs (including much of software development) and refocusing the workforce on jobs that require direct interaction with reality: hardware, chemistry, medicine, etc.

@devahaz Most people don’t just want but desperately need the world to be reduced to good-bad, right-wrong, hot-cold dualities. This, among other things, is why religion has been so successful. People are tired of complexity, and Trump is capitalizing on it.

@harshaljethwa You could, if there is no expectation for you to “work faster with AI”. You can produce more code for sure, because the machine is writing it. But you can’t review it at the same speed.

“But you have AI,” the manager said. “You should be able to build this feature in two days, not two weeks.” “Yes, I can now produce ten thousand lines of code in two days instead of two weeks,” the developer replied. “But I can’t read any faster.”

RT @shreyas: Early in my career as an engineer, I was lucky to work with a guy named John Zhang who was also an engineer on the team. I was…

@shreyas This is highly visible in software engineering. Most software engineers who think they are the top 1% are in reality working with frameworks developed by the actual top 1%. If you took the frameworks away from them, most would be clueless and couldn’t deliver anything.

@remkusdevries Great results, I admire your discipline. Were you exhausted or had trouble sleeping on your fasting days? Also curious to hear if you restricted your diet during feeding days or just ate whatever you felt like eating.

@visakanv I for one would enjoy discovering viral tweets that have nothing to do with my current interests, like cement mixtures and so on.

@VicVijayakumar Terrible performance on induction. First I thought there was something wrong with my pan, so I bought a second one. But in both cases you get one super hot area and the rest just practically useless.

RT @atgarone: I love the Wild West. 🇺🇸

@atgarone It doesn’t get more American than that, does it? Love it!

@nem035 It’s an environmental issue created by AI use. For example, you can now create an entire mini-product in a day. If you want to do it right (i.e actually know your codebase), you have to review thousands LOC coming from your prompts. That’s a new type of mental fatigue.

@ToKTeacher You call it moral realism, I call it moral relativism. NATO’s intervention decisions were shaped by strategic interests, political calculations, and military feasibility rather than purely humanitarian concerns, as you noticed yourself in the case of Rwanda.
