@emollick Poor middle management is so often the result of designing a solution, promoting people, to the problematic belief that all career paths must exist inside the company.

Current criticism is fueled in part by the absurd stuff posted by FAANG middle managers re: comp and workload.

@JackPittBrooke Too early to suggest anything. They got beat hard by Leicester just two weeks ago. There is no upward trend yet.

@ganeumann Nothing new, respect and appreciated for some time.

However, those emails...coming in like a flood these days. Companies I've never heard of, not the caliber of GLG for sure. And aggressively reaching out in 24 hour bursts to get me to respond to a project. I decline them all.

Important: There is no reliable way of detecting ChatGPT writing. You can't accuse students of cheating based on any online tools.

The tool from OpenAI itself only detects ChatGPT writing 26% of the time. And it incorrectly identifies writing as AI-made 9% of the time. Also👇

Learn from expert teachers, not expert doers. Experts are often not good teachers… but we think they are. Why?

This paper finds that: “Top performers do not give better advice than other performers, they just give more of it—and people seem to mistake quantity for quality.”

@cartilagefree Sandstorm, of course.

@maxrushden Spurs win, Arsenal lose, City lose, United lose, Chelsea lose. Liverpool draw.

@ganeumann Everything I've read by Ted Chiang has been wonderful, top tier sci-fi. And if you are open to something a bit different, I'm reading "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin and absolutely love it. Centers on video games, starting in the 90s.

@jasonzweigwsj @WSJopinion China has banned crypto and TikTok, despite happily mining for crypto and creating TikTok. Think they might be telling us something?

@maxrushden Acetaminophen is Tylenol, over the counter pain med pretty common here in the US. You might know it as paracetamol.

@Carnage4Life Writing crappy listicles was never going to be a good career decision, though...

Buzzfeed announced that they will use GPT to help create quizzes, stories, and other content.

Their stock is up 130% today.

AI is the new "if your company absolutely sucks, just say web3 a lot and no one will notice for a few months"

We cut our SaaS expenses by over 50% and have reduced the number of SaaS vendors by 66% over the last 12 months for one our companies. Don’t see a negative impact in the business from these cuts. Everyone should check their SaaS expenses and make sure they are spending wisely.

I am legit amazed that LG coughed up that "less than half of the smart appliances it has sold stay connected to the internet."

In the 2010s, if you were a talented tech worker, Big Tech was always there waiting for you with a high salary and an implicit long-term employment guarantee.

No longer.

@Carnage4Life Home automation is great for families. I know when the kids come and go, can turn off all the damn lights, and actually check on doors and whatnot. But anything else feels like a privacy risk, particularly Echos and Nests, so we dumped 'em.

@zachweinberg But free chatbot is, well, free!
