I feel lucky I grew up watching the explosion of the internet, culminating in the ubiquity of smart phones. Connecting humanity was our generation’s moon landing.
I feel cursed living through the innovation drought. Everything today feels designed to exploit the connected.

I think the people most impressed by LLM knowledge grew up after the web was ruined by SEO and Google was destroyed from within. They aren’t used to typing a question into a box and getting an answer without bullshit.

I’m just so bored of where tech is going. It’s like LLMs sucked all the air out of the room.

Jake's made a great synopsis of DHH. I first met DHH almost 25 years ago, spoke at his office, helped promote his products, hosted him at events. DHH thinks you can tell by *looking* whether someone is a "native". Because he thinks people who look like me can never belong to our countries. Fuck him.
show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

It's rare to find openings for junior roles on teams that make a huge impact like this. If you know a great junior dev, pass it on!
If you like what you see in the #iPhone17 cameras, come work with me at Apple Park!
My team drives the photo pipeline and has a new position open to early-career engineers (minimum 0-3 years of experience).
Whenever you see a “Shot on iPhone” billboard, you see our work; it could be your work too.🧵
