a FAANG gig is supposed to set you up for an easy life: complete some tickets, attend a happy hour, change problem domains maybe once every few years. This does not lend itself well to building services holistically.
Context that this startup is hiring in Amsterdam, where Meta just closed offices, so Meta engineers are actively interviewing.
Devs from eg startups usually do just fine here.
A real head-scratcher why these devs struggle. Too much custom stack dependency? Sg else? Just odd

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.
I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

If you want to learn about Wendy Carlos, maybe explore the wealth of resources on her website, including this list of good interviews, instead of a piece she has since disavowed over and over again

describing things I like this way henceforth. "This pizza is pure, it's good, and it has nothing to do with transgender"
Newsmax's Greg Kelly on US strikes on alleged drug boats: “It's totally legal. It's pure, it's good. And it has nothing to do with transgender.”

Today I accidentally clicked the radio button in my car twice, which switched it to AM radio, so I sauntered over to 1200 WOAI, the conservative talk radio station. Glenn Beck was on, talking about this article: futurism.com/artificial-i...

I've landed at a place where I feel like the AI stuff is obviously unsustainable, but I'm willing to siphon off all the energy from the purported perpetual energy generator while they're still maintaining the illusion.

Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!
