@BenSasse I first read this as “vicious lidocaine”, and had questions

I find the very idea of being able to buy "books by the foot" for decor offensive.

How to get Marketing to care passionately about availability:

Proposal: every GitHub outage adds a week to how long they have to wait before announcing any AI things.

I get this stuff is hard, but if they can’t consistently provide their core offering, that situation won’t improve if they’re distracting themselves with shiny new shit.

From a friend who joined a fast-growth, later-stage startup:

"I was wondering why no one is doing PRDs here. Then I realized that the Head of Product and most PMs are 25-year-olds who don't have the attention span to *read* even a 1-page doc.

You lose them after 3 bullet points."

Maybe I’m drinking too much Koolaid again, but “whiffed on” Lane has been turning into “smartly walked away from” over the course of spring and summer.

Winning a press conference doesn’t automatically mean winning on the field, but what people around the SEC saw on Wednesday with Jon Sumrall is what Gator fans have seen since December.

And for the most part, SEC media members came away impressed.

@brandonspikes55 Done. Interestingly, the survey didn’t consider the main reason I picked my streaming music service: artist royalties.

As I’ve said many times before:

Levels of Hate
4. TN- I hope it’s a good game and both teams play well; Gators win
3. LSU/Miami- Gators win convincingly
2. GA- Gators knock them out of contention and spoil their season
1. FSU- I hope they lose everything everywhere always

It’s still spreadsheets. It’s spreadsheets all the way down…

[Sarthak Rawool @sarthakcore]

@garrytan the wildest part is we're still figuring out what the "killer app" even is

spreadsheets changed everything for the Apple II. what's that moment for AI? feels like we're still in the "tech demo" phase

[Jim Tanner @jimtanner]

This is always hysterically funny to watch:

POST A VIDEO YOU NEVER GET TIRED OF

[Benjamin Bratton @bratton]

My students asked me if it was true that the entire Internet was really coded by hand. All those kernels, protocols, router firmware, browsers, databases, etc. Somebody coded these and debugged them by hand?!?!? They used BBEdit?!?!??! The idea that this was even possible seems amazing to them. I can imagine some future Moon Landing like conspiracy theory that says it never happened.
