I want to believe this is just a LinkedIn shit post, but it’s equally likely to be 100% serious.

Freakanomics did an episode on co-CEOs a couple of years ago. I don’t remember the details. As with many things, there wasn’t a clear answer. freakonomics.com/podcast/are-...

Same. The sooner I can rip all the dialyzer specs out of my work codebase, the better.

Yeah, doesn't scale that way. José mentioned in his ElixirConf update that half the cores seems to be the sweet spot in testing.

It's not their review though. That's the entire point. From the context, I'm assuming these are self-reviews. The theoretical point of a self-review (emphasis on theoretical) is reflection on your own strengths and weaknesses. If you're outsourcing that to AI, you're missing the point.

This is a very underrated skill you get as a parent. I was incapable of improv or most pretend play until I had children. Just wasn’t good at it and didn’t try.

My kids gave me a completely non-judgmental audience. Completely changed the way I communicate today, even at work.
