@trq212 What a genius.

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@bcherny Lmao, you know you’ve been with Claude too long when you write an essay to share “epiphanies” on how engineering has always worked

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@Beinasest @ClaudeDevs Yup. Same.

“When a lady walks up to me and says, ‘Hey, you know what's sexy?’ No, I don't know what it is. But I bet I can add up all the change in your purse, very fast.”

@paulg What will it take for nerds turned founders to understand how poor their models of human relations are and check themselves before they wreck themselves on fantasy and flights toward the sun?

[Dani Grant @thedanigrant]

"Move fast and break things" is outdated advice for startups.

Software ate the world—and there's more competition than ever.

Our startup learned the hard way to ignore this advice, and this is what happened:

Yo @_eddiesun the fuck is wrong with you?

If you are interested in the mechanisms of social learning (broadly defined) and in contributing to an interdisciplinary dialog on this question, you are welcome to contribute to this special issue that I am excited to co-edit together with Laura Agee and Marie Monfils!

@MelMitchell1 Amazing. Exactly.

Sad news from Cormac McCarthy's publisher: "Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy died today of natural causes at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was eighty-nine years old. His death was confirmed by his son, John McCarthy."

@rachel_l_woods @thatroblennon Becoming a domain expert or writing a prompt with models or on topics about which you know nothing?

@sumerki8 @jnconkle @alexandr_wang By Traditional thinking, I mean the conception and evolution of truth from a William James perspective

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@sumerki8 @jnconkle @alexandr_wang Still happens when investors give the nerds the money to build outside traditional thinking

I’m not sure which is more pathetic but since the money is always lost, we all suffer the opportunity cost

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@paulg Throw it in @Apple photos, they are so far ahead of the hype it’s shocking

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@mckaywrigley @paulg @paulg how do you reconcile what you wrote in Hackers & Painters with any of this? Do you not expect individual ability to atrophy?

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@paulg You mean your own drafts or those of others?

[Paul Graham @paulg]

A generation ago some people were saying there was no point in learning to program because all the programming jobs would be outsourced to India. Now they're saying you don't need to because AI will do it all. If you don't want to learn to program, you can always find a reason.

@m2jr How do we find it acceptable to acceptable to drop the amount of technological change that we have, at the rates that we have, and expect anyone outside the Valley to know a fucking thing?

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@sumerki8 @jnconkle @alexandr_wang I’m also struggling to think of anything more sinful than original sin. An incompetent founder should be the last person to disrupt anyone or force change in anything. If all you know tech, games, and genre fiction, you belong in the dungeons of society and should not be heard.

[Davis Clark @davissclark]

@sumerki8 @jnconkle @alexandr_wang …actually, in 2023, mostly incompetent, and it’s nauseating.

[Alexandr Wang @alexandr_wang]

the amount of veiled incompetence in corporate America is staggering

in the vast majority of corporate America, there is more effort put towards shrouding incompetence in obfuscation than trying to be competent in the first place
