@alex_frantic For one project it gave me a 6 eng month estimate. I was like "nah I need it in a week". It was like lol ok and actually delivered almost on time ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Several factors are lining up:
1. Model progress slowing down
2. Enterprise AI adoption slower than expected
3. Capital drying up for infra buildouts
Everything pointing to some great buying opportunities in the next 6-12 months. Ant IPO outcome will help clarify the timeline
people clearly feel democracy on a spiritual level. the new batch of elected donโt get sworn in until next year, but you already see everybody acting differently from a week ago. including those who have nothing to gain from political posturing

Presidementia has been at it again - repeating all his old lies about Ukraine, such as:
Trump claims $350bn aid given: actually only $115bn and the EU has given more.
US got nothing: they got billions from NATO partners under PURL and a minerals deal from Ukraine.
Another way the current administration is trapped in the ZERO-SUM FALLACY: The H-1B visa situation.
+ You are NOT taking a job from a citizen, rather creating jobs by increasing overal economic output. Plus these people (even vegetarians) SPEND locally.
+ The US has long been benefiting from other countries' brain drain; without it its edge wd collapse. Tesla, Von Braun, von Neumann, Fermi & Einstein did NOT each take the job of a citizen.
+ It the problem is anti-Indian racism, say it, don't play games.
@dvassallo Seems like posting literally anything favorable towards immigration on X these days is guaranteed to attract hordes of nativist losers with anon accounts in the replies
Airbnb just responded to "reviewgate"
The replies here are literally hundreds of people who got their reviews removed directly contradicting what Airbnb says here
The "policy" they have seems to be to remove a guest's review and rating whenever a host asks for it
I don't get why they don't just fix this? Everyone would love to see Airbnb have honest reviews and ratings you can trust
Short term you might get more bookings if everything is a 4.5 or 4.99 but long term people discover it means nothing and they can't trust your platform and they leave elsewhere
I think they're in some internal gridlock by MBAs who want to see revenue go up, not realizing that they're destroying a company
I hope they fix it!
@GergelyOrosz Experience is king. Get it wherever you can - internships, open source, build stuff for yourself. I started out on oDesk (now Upwork) back in the day picking up jobs for pennies.
Grind LC and learn systems from first principles. Even if you don't need it, you'll be better off
