i immediately suspected mostly because it seemed like an interesting plot device as well as the obvious thing that character would do in that situation
my wife guessed the plot twist back in s02e01, i didn’t see it coming at all but apparently there was enough to pick up on! gotta rewatch at some point

To give a example, the Dublin market seems to be set up where be devs outnumber the frontenders, the be folks are mostly python and java, they end up in management more often, and are generally universally shocked by all the churn with fe tech. Vite SPA's and query just work by 5pm there.

Most large successful enterprises are now allowing JS on servers at all. They have backends and API written in different languages by different teams. It's ridiculous to think that's going to change any time soon or even that it should.
Full-Stack JS represents such a small part of reality.

good read. i wasn't nearly as repulsed by the original chesky interview, but i did find myself thinking that the proposed CEO involvement in every aspect of everything didn't really seem realistic or even useful in most scenarios.
I (finally) wrote up my thoughts on "Founder Mode" and the Brian Chesky morality tale about how he turned around Airbnb company culture.
This has made it into the Silicon Valley water table; it must be dealt with. There are some good nuggets within; let's dig them out.

“Founder Mode” and the Art of Mythmaking
I’ve never been good at “hot takes”. Anyone who knows anything about marketing can tell you that the best time to share your opinion about something is when everyone is all worked up about it. Hot …

and don't under estimate the power of a good .cursorrules or copilot-instructions.md file. there a few good directories you can use as a start cursor.directory or cursorlist.com it's so useful to be able to declare your preferred coding style, frameworks/libraries, naming conventions, & other rules

i'm a big fan of shottr.cc makes it easy to set a screenshot folder, annotate screenshots, save them OR just copy to clipboard, since 90% of my screenshots i just need to draw an arrow and paste to Slack, then trash it.

my tiny equivalent of this is:
- redesign/rewrite my blog site
- “i’m going to write/post a new article every week!”
- maintain that pace for ~3 weeks
- repeat next year

- “i’m going to write/post a new article every week!”

prior to that, i jus' built things because i could and i like doing it
that is still the case somewhat but at some point the scale flipped and it almost became like an obligation. "need to build, need to post, need to feed the algorithm"

Hello new and old followers! Sometimes I make VS Code themes:
- There’s Night Owl (most used, good for colorblindness)
- Then a friend asked for a theme for people who are in bed by 7pm
- and a Fortnite theme with chaos and chickens
Enjoy!
