Nous nous excusons d'avance si nous sortons de notre registre habituel, factuel et direct, en laissant transparaître nos sentiments.
Ce sont nos grands-parents, nos oncles et tantes, nos cousins et cousines, nos amis qui sont massacrés aujourd'hui au Liban.
There are truly a lot of disgusting things in the world of today but reading about babies being tortured to get confessions from their parents is way up there.
The conflict in the Middle East has gone too far.
My message to the US & Israel is that it’s high time to end the war – as human suffering deepens, civilian casualties mount & the global economic impact is increasingly devastating.
My message to Iran is to stop attacking their neighbors that are not parties to the conflict.
It doesn’t take more than a little bit of heart to feel sorrow at the loss of so many innocent people—and particularly children—anywhere, including Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, Israel and increasingly around the world. Really appalling.
One of the most heartbreaking examples of nonverbal communication to emerge from Iran.
I cannot call this a mere propaganda piece. It is the unbearable truth, laid bare through the profound art of cinematography and animation.

Unpopular Opinion: We aren't building the future 10x faster with AI. We are just generating legacy code 10x faster.
Everyone is currently bragging about developer velocity. "I built this entire backend in a weekend!" "AI wrote 80% of my codebase!"
But here is the reality check we are ignoring: Code is a liability, not an asset.
If an AI tool spits out 1,000 lines of functional boilerplate in five seconds, that is still 1,000 lines that a human being has to read, review, secure, and maintain when the dependencies inevitably break next year.
We are treating code generation like a pure productivity win, but we are optimizing for the wrong metric. The bottleneck in software engineering was never how fast we could type. The bottleneck has always been comprehension, architecture, and maintenance.
If we don't shift our focus from "generation speed" to "architectural sanity," the tech debt of the next five years is going to be an absolute, unmaintainable nightmare.
@taviso You are one of a kind Tavis, with an incredible run at Google! Hope you get to unwind a bit and I am sure your journey ahead will not cease to amaze.
Tonight we pour one to Boulettes Larder in the Ferry Building. We left for a week, came back to find it closed. The staff was always super kind, particularly with our baby, and the chef constantly changed the menu trying new items in season. We will miss them.
City of Santa Monica is issuing an Evacuation Order for all areas of the city north of San Vicente. Evacuation Order: Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is closed to public access.

@bdowney It plays well in the narrative of today, as an added justification as to why companies are streamlining. More companies today are having to focus on margins. When that changes, the narrative will evolve to how founders are great at hiring and delegating.
