@Bandrew I was literally about to place this bet. There’s no way this is a robot 🤣

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@alexisohanian hell yeah it is! have lived a few blocks away for 20 years and still go there all the time

@stevesi @raybananaa I don’t even recall using clippy in excel 🤔

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@stevesi @raybananaa Ofc mostly joking. And this level of thought and care is exactly why I’m so glad I started my product career in Microsoft Office.

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@stevesi @raybananaa Steve - you did invent Clippy so you gotta take some of this blame ;-)

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@stevesi 💯

New grads are only 7% of big tech hires, down from 30% in 2019 (from @SignalFire analysis of 650M LinkedIn profiles.)
Meanwhile commercial electrical apprenticeships are up 70% since 2022 (Dept. of Labor data.)
Human work is rapidly moving away from knowledge work to trades

@Brian_Kennedy Get your point but not sure that’s what gave him an early death. Seems to me the pink gins with lunch every day and the cigs. The fact that he is one of the most successful authors ever despite doing very little actual work is a testament to how well this lifestyle worked

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@pitdesi Ugh that looks horrible. Although I would never trust a robot to do this - looks like a tight fit?

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@rileybrown very cool. I am most impressed by you coming up with a prompt that got opus 5 to think for 37 minutes! i can't even get it to think for 5 mins no matter how deep I want to dive into something

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@rdominguezibar @IvanStarinin @danstillman I have a very strong suspicion that the “other guy” is doing just fine and is living a happy and fulfilled life. Maybe even more than Zuck’s. The KPIs of success are not universal and social media influencers are always trying to convince us otherwise. Live your life 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DennysDiner @JensenHuang @nvidia This is what twitter is for!

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@arjunram @Sonos No. I just have very high standards - there is literally nothing else that does what I want. Music in every room, can just ask “hey google play X on Y room” and listen to records in my backyard! It’s precisely because nothing else works like this that we put up with Sonos

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

I’m convinced that no one at @Sonos actually uses their app. Their “new navigation” is even more horrendous than the prior one which is hard to believe! I love the speakers, love having music throughout my house, even have my turntable connected to Sonos but the app is SO BAD!

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@mcuban Feels like Gen Z and esp Gen Alpha could already use an adult life simulator

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@1ndus @Sonos You don’t even need to connect it to an Amazon echo device. Alexa and Google are built-in to Sonos speakers I use Google asst. but lots of things you can not do- such as ask Alexa or Google to play to a group instead of a single speaker

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@singy @Sonos Like how can it be this bad? It’s honestly mind boggling

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@singy @Sonos Yes!! And the dumbest thing is when you open the “home page” which also like why does that even exist? The speaker they show is the only one not playing anything!! I have to navigate to the system page to see all my speakers, including the one that is actively playing something

[Mitali Pattnaik @mitali]

@strobist @Sonos Hmm but do you have speakers in all rooms including outdoors? And are they wireless? Or like I need a mini streamer for each set of speakers to make them wireless? That would be too messy for me
