A former Meta engineer has built a head-tracked system that uses just your front-facing camera to turn any screen into a 3D window. No glasses, no headset – just real-time motion parallax that makes flat displays feel alive.

One of the greatest athletes of our generation.

She is (and has been) consistently the best in the world across a variety of skill areas...for years.

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry.

Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through.

I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me.

I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

They say that "the time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time."

Hope you have the opportunity to get outdoors today, do some thinking, enjoy yourself, and...waste some time.

If you're a candidate interviewing for a role, avoid *backstory scope creep.*

I regularly see folks spend too much time on the "situation" part of the STAR method (situation, task, action, results).

The situation is the least interesting part of your story.

If you spend too much time on the situation, you run out of time to share what you actually did and what the results were.

Remember to allocate your time appropriately. Start right before you get eaten by the bear.

Real luxury is the ability to have a slow morning if you want it, enjoy a good conversation without rush, eat well, have good health, and a warm home.

Brand names and flashy things are nice - but they're not luxury.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

Realize that you don't need "permission" from anyone.
It's a game changer.

There's a gym saying that "the last 3-4 reps are the hardest, but make the muscle grow..."

So much carryover to life.

It's those areas of final push
- the hardest moments -
That often bring the rewards you're looking for.

So goes the leader, so goes the culture.
So goes the culture, so goes the company.

There's a difference between working together and working on the same team.

We don't learn much when things go right. It's when things go wrong that we learn the most.

Success is a team sport.

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

Trust has two dimensions: competence and integrity. We can forgive mistakes of competence. Mistakes of integrity are harder to overcome.
