@ChrisJBakke @signulll Dang sometimes I have 12 in a *day* at a bigco. I messed up.

@palaashatri @k_flowstate For boring low qps apps, choose go. My team built two greenfield apps in each language with similar kinds of deps around the same time. I am chasing CVE patches practically weekly in the Java app. Go just hums along.

@LarryBirdsMull1 @CleverlyJacob @FitzyMoPena I'm from MA, and this is correct.

Real execs run their own meetings.

Handing off a meeting to a junior team member to organize and administer and do little time check is total fucking bullshit.

You are not a king. The meeting are not your servants.

If you have time to call a meeting you can run the fucking meeting.

Stop dicking around on LinkedIn while some chief of staff making $120k a year forces your team to ritualistically recite their bullshit updates.

@shahh It's pretty difficult to detect the peak in early stage investments like these, especially in this dude's scenario where everything always went up until it didn't.

@Dogetothemoon @sama X does ads and grok is bound to get entangled in that.

I went on a job interview for a Senior SWE role.

They asked me about my experience with Kafka.

I told them how in “Metamorphosis” someone can lose their worth in others’ eyes the moment they stop being useful. It’s a chilling reminder of how fragile our sense of belonging can be when it relies on productivity instead of humanity.

I told them how in “The Trial” he describes the helplessness of confronting institutions that feel arbitrary, unaccountable, and impossible to navigate. The randomness of a giant system can crush your soul. Our brains can’t handle overwhelming inconsistency.

I told them how in “The Castle”, we learn that seeking an approval from an unreachable authority is a trap. If you spend your life chasing validation from humans who don’t care, you’ll end up feeling stuck. The pursuit consumes more than the reward it gives.

I didn’t get the job. The market is tough.

@ChrisJBakke Work hack: structure your day to work 5pm-2am and sleep while Elon's not looking. It looks like you're working Tesla burnout mode, but it's merely a night shift.

@jrams12 @PennFB I didn't hate it. No time outs left. Better to kick on a clock stoppage with some breathing room compared to getting tackled inbounds and having to swap the offence and kicking team to kick under pressure in under a minute.
