@bcherny @karpathy @bcherny Your comment about shipping 22 to 27 PRs per day is wild to me. I assume that you and your team are also reviewing that many PRs each day? If possible, I'd love to hear more about your team's sprint / kanban management, ticket creation & PR review processes.

The future has arrived. This little robot arm made me a better latte than most baristas! And it even had Oatley milk. Between this and Eatsa (the automated quinoa bowl lunch spot around the corner) I may never need to speak with a human again! https://t.co/Io5mvNJbqV

Really interesting article showing that security has been an afterthought in the push for Smart Cities & IoT. Hopefully it's a wake up call for everyone trying to enter this space! https://t.co/yh7Jv7DG0l

Pretty cool and ambitious project in Sweden to electrify their roads for charging EVs: https://t.co/51Bp5EwMPY

Construction nerds, you've got to watch this video: https://t.co/y9Im9fN0K3

I believe that the future of residential construction, and a lot of commercial, is modular and pre-fab. These two companies have got me really excited: https://t.co/uakjZJjxqY & https://t.co/gJfHREwq5Q.

Our brains have 6 billion volts of electricity? I wonder how many amps. Anyway, a fun fact to know, courtesy of popular science.

A 1,148 ft. tall wooden tower has been proposed in Tokyo. Apparently the planned completion date is the year 2041 to commemorate some company's 350th anniversary, which seems a little far out to seek planning approval on... but check it out! https://t.co/4LTh4Wfc5d

Apparently bitcoin mining currently uses as much energy as the country of Iraq, and processing 1 bitcoin transaction takes as much energy as hundreds of Visa transactions. Wild! https://t.co/egbiLsh3hI

Here's a Fun post / infographic on the far distant future. Take a 5 minute break and expand your mind a bit: https://t.co/zqBGv4Rqkb

I highly recommend this video of Tony Robbins and Peter Diamandis being interviewed. It's 1.5 hours, but you can speed it up by watching it at 1.25 or 1.5X speed.
Super motivating and clarifying as you're planning on how to make 2018 your best year yet! https://t.co/yebNcPat9c

20% of medical blood supply is delivered via autonomous drones in Rwanda. Interesting story, and great example of how countries with a less established regulatory framework can leapfrog others. https://t.co/wmojedCzMv

Very interesting modular housing startup. Buy as much house as you need right now, and add on to it later when the time is right. Building an addition is normally an intimidating process, but they make it part of the business model: https://t.co/KKDJPhFAz4

Very interesting to see Nvidia jump into the construction technology mix by applying their AI to tackle safety. https://t.co/xtkoxrQlCU

We've all seen the iconic picture of steel workers standing on a beam about 500 feet in the air with nothing beneath them. This hydraulic cocoon system that is able to climb itself up a building without cranes is definitely a step up from that! https://t.co/OJjvMCIa37

While I think it'll be a while before robots replace workers entirely, here's another exciting example of automating a monotonous task in construction: https://t.co/E9aNsWUKMO

Rolling Stone interview with Elon Musk. Very interesting to read about the human side of him: https://t.co/FHCyI0gj2P
