Truly a strange feeling to have grown up with the internet being your refuge and cherished resource only to have it become utter shit and realize that maybe you don't need it and in fact can't use it the way you used to anymore

Tech people actively say shit like "what's the point of learning about history, only the future matters" and then in the next breath share deeply weird and incorrect interpretations of history.

A core tenet of good tech is that we can _reason_ about it. And a common pattern of abusers is that they act inconsistent & unreasonable. That's why it's a giant red flag that AI hype is about systems that we can't even reason about. https://www.anildash.com/2023/06/08/ai-is-unreasonable/

if loosely, design = marketing
in a world where the barrier to creating an app or duplicate is so low, design could be the key for some businesses to really create a distinction

You should absolutely block anyone for any reason on any platform at all. You are responsible for curating your social media experience, and you are NOT obligated to be exposed to posts that rub you the wrong way. Block for any reason. Block for NO reason! It’s free to use!
We have tried the “blocking people should only be done in extreme cases” approach to social media for over a decade. And it has failed.
This is exactly why I so strongly support making it socially acceptable for people to block anyone for any reason.

What is the state of the tech hiring market these days? It's definitely cooling in many areas. But by how much? Are there more inbound applications for the same role?
If you're a hiring manager, I'd love to hear from you, and will share what others see:

There’s two extremes in tech:
1. absolutely no boundaries and “working” 16 hours a day
2. not shipping at all, for some fucking reason

Maybe? I guess so. Probably less informative than you’d think though. You could also show Wile E Coyote cartoons as part of OSHA training but most workers probably weren’t planning to glue firework rockets on their roller skates

So, we thought, what would happen if we... made a content moderation simulator? And let everyone who thinks they know how it works... try out their assumptions.
