Cranky Caribbean mom.
Administrative overhead in tech.
Proudly Cayman-Canadian.

Sapere aude, ne supra crepidam.
Did he get to keep the 50k he accepted from the FBI though?

Genuinely curious!

Oh wait, at Shopify? I thought you'd moved on and were asking from a new employer. :)

Imma have to pass, but I wish y'all the best! (Too complicated to do this kind of thing at a former employer.)

Depends on where, maybe?

DM me! :)

Soda sales and volume.

Ingredients aren’t the primary cost driver - the most expensive consumable for many shops is the box and other paper products, and 1$/slice doesn’t need those.

Not many left though.

I want to see someone pay their drivers license fee with 1.7g of gold bullion.

Do they break out an assay kit and jeweller’s scale in the dmv?

I firmly believe the most enduring value of LLMs to PMs is that they devalue verbosity.

Too many specs could have been a spreadsheet and some bullet points, but PMs defend their value in word count.

Those days are done. Feed an LLM if you want words, PMs create value by making the complex simple.

At a certain point, for better or worse, jocks get the idea that success is a team effort.

It comes with an assumption that anyone on the field not wearing the same uniform must be an enemy.

Oh wow - using LLMs as a pseudocode interpreter could be my new favourite use case.

Mind blown!

But EV regulatory credits are very likely to be cut very soon. And their quarterly report is _projecting_ regulatory credit income based on a naive percentage of sales on historical values, they are not yet earned and, in spite of being booked revenue, may never be.

There's gonna be a reckoning.

Or maybe the dishwasher is more of a narrator - initially comfortable as a temporary participant in the situation but discovering and embracing the happiness they’re bringing to the couple, and finding it more rewarding than the quick rumble it started out as?

I think the obvious way to navigate this dilemma is to tell the story from the perspective of the Dishwasher.

We fully expect our kids to be head cheerleader and captain of the football team, in a gender normative way, purely to rebel against their very gay parents.

We’ll love them anyways, though we’ll have a lot of learning to do to catch up on straight culture.

This is the tweet of a man who got the early warning and insider-traded. Guaranteed.

Especially as it wasn’t anchored in a major event or news. The upswing of the morning was pure dead cat bounce, and it just organically fizzled.
