I wish this app existed:

“PLAY WITH YOUR DOG”

For those who cannot actually own a dog, but would love to play with someone’s dog about once a week.

Free for the owner free for the person who plays with the dog.

Like dog walking but more fun.

Humor can’t be manufactured by AI.

People who can write will become insanely valuable now that almost no one is actually writing anymore or constructing outlines without AI.

The SDLC is changing with AI. Some elements are faster, but new bottlenecks are popping up cannabalising any gains.

When I worked at this company we each had 1500-2000 leads to call on each.

They’re now giving SDRs 20-30. That’s how they control sales pay while still advertising, “uncapped commission.”

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

Matthew Lillard is one of my favorite actors that for some reason isn’t a big name.

He’s done like 30 films. So fun to watch.

Corporations would use slavery if it wasn’t illegal.

AI is hyped, in great part, bc many of them are salivating at the idea that legal slavery is riiiiiight around the corner.

Last 5 yrs I’ve worked in data infra required for AI context, & recently measuring the ROI of AI in F500 companies.

1) AI is not ROI positive in software engineering across hundreds of companies

2) Most F500 companies lack the infra for agents to reliably manage complex tasks

Dear @netflix I’ve been a subscriber for 5+ years but just left for Apple TV bc your shows stop at season 2.

The straw for me was the O.A. That you discontinued at 2 of 5 written seasons.

Give us full story arcs to completion or bye.
