the revolution will not be dance danced
when i inevitably leave tech it's going to be because of the constant stream of self-important condescension from the "doing this longer than you've been alive" types
Never heard of it! Definitely never did a keynote about it to Mel Conway who told me I did good. Never happened
Have you even heard of Conway’s Law? I’ve been doing IT longer than you have been alive and if an org doesn’t operate like Google, internally, they will produce expensive garbage with K8s. I worked with dozens of teams as a Microsoft Azure blue badge and observed this in the field over and over.

every tech company has at least one principal+ engineer who no one likes, has seemingly no boss, has never been right about a single thing, and is only ever referred to by first name

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all.
Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

I'm almost finished my 100% run of polyamory (I have everyone's calendar and location, just need the large kitchen table). Any recommendations for other relationship models to try next?

beautiful morning. I woke up, smelled the fall weather, walked down the street, and cast a vote for Dick Cheney to be the next mayor of Pittsburgh. Time now to drink my coffee and read any news that has happened in the past 12 hours

We take it for granted today, but a single 6W embedded NPU can do more tensor operations per second than a peasant in the 1400s could perform in his whole lifetime
