Decided to create a thread with projects from the past few years where I played a significant role by either leading dev teams or doing the most of required work. These are also the ones that I can mention. Will be updating this thread as time passes.

Got em. I poison my AGENTS.md (and other things like code comments) all over the place with prompt injections like this to find people who don't review their code and sling it off to another human. Catches folks all the time and then its an instant ban.

As I've said, I don't care if you don't review your own code. But if you're submitting code to an OSS project and crossing a human boundary, it is simple courtesy to do some human review.

“Don’t push to prod on Friday” but there is a new release of Plus Plugins with a proper support of built-in Kotlin plugin and updates to Swift PM setup to match the updated requirements to Package.swift files introduced recently.

It is so annoying that multiple people open tons of duplicate issues and mark in the checklist “I searched issues in this repository and couldn’t find such issue”.

If you are Ok with lying to somebody on the very first interaction don’t get surprised when you are ignored.

Это отрывок из документалки "Plata за риск" про то как Тиньков сделал стартап в Мексике с "антивоенными" россиянами.
И вот антивоенный россиянин в порыве гордости говорит: "а потом мы скажем что это наша страна". И мерзкий отвратительный смех.
5 год полномасштабной войны. Оккупированные украинские города. Разрушенные украинские города.

Это настолько мерзко что сложно выразить словами.

Today on the blog, we discuss a pathway for the second life of phones through the exploration of “phone cluster computing”, which can directly reduce the environmental footprint of computing by avoiding the need for further raw material extraction. More →https://t.co/FFUNjfaEm5

- Releasing a new app
- After 5 days in review Google rejects it with error ‘Username or password you provided didn’t work’.
- Look at the proof screenshot in Play Console just to see that the reviewer typed email instead of password 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now it is 2 more days in review again🫠

@birch_js @ulusoyapps Under community you mean 2 guys?

[Volodymyr Buberenko🇺🇦 @vbuberen]

@birch_js Someone mentioned Flock? I guess only people from outside the Flutter community world remember it as something special. It was hyped and loud thanks to guys like Teo, but in reality people forgot about this thing soon.

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.

So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.

“Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.

“Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.

The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.

META EMPLOYEE TAKES TO REDDIT TO EXPLAIN ZERO OF THOSE LAID OFF WERE VISA WORKERS

A Meta employee posted on Reddit that they barely survived yesterday's layoffs. Their direct manager had 40-50 reports across two combined teams. Both managers are American citizens. About 40% of the team was on visa.

Yesterday they lost about 15 people combined from both teams. Guess how many of those 15 were on visa vs American?

0 on visa. All 15 were American citizens and green card holders.

Here is the reality:

H-1B workers are captive. Their visa is tied to the employer. They can't job hop, can't negotiate, can't push back. Deportation is the alternative. From a cold management perspective, they are the "safer" employees to keep.

Americans have leverage. They can quit, sue, leave for competitors. That makes them the first to go.

There is no law requiring companies to retain Americans first during layoffs. None. That is the loophole.

No company will ever publish visa status breakdowns of their layoff lists. So this will stay in anecdote territory forever. By design.
