Some cool evidence from ~37,000 software development projects on github: when a lot of juniors join a project at once relative to the number of seniors, fewer of them successfully get up to speed, apparently because senior staff have limited attention to spend on mentoring

@t_holden Looking forward to seeing that when it’s out!

[caleb wroblewski @wroblew_c]

@t_holden Interesting, thanks! I still find myself somewhat skeptical that there’s enough signal in the HF monetary shocks to be super confident about the results of any classic, time-series-style estimate.

For the newly relaunched Magazine, I wrote about the complete reshaping of human culture by the Phone, and our weakness before it — and how it reminds me of a canonical A.I. doom scenario. https://t.co/6pxslAPXN0

Reading Hollinghurst and thinking about how if some movie producer had listened to me ~5 years ago and adapted The Strangers Child with Jacob Elordi and Timothee Chalamet, we could both be approximately $1 trillion richer and also have saved Hollywood.
