everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
here's what things actually look like
- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping
- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life
- they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend
- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon
- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real
- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills
Trump said the only limit to his power is his own morality. Fortunately, the Founding Fathers did not rely on morality to limit presidential power, as morals can easily be corrupted by power. Trump’s authority is limited by the U.S. Constitution. Someone needs to tell him that.
I keep getting asked why I'm not slamming the Democrats.
I've spent my entire CAREER slamming the Democrats.
I've simply just recently come to understand that the Republicans ARE the Democrats.
They are one in the same.
AG and others legally characterize attack in Venezuela as “arrest with military support.”
Meanwhile Trump announces he’s taken over the country and will run it until he finds someone suitable to replace him.
Added bonus: says American oil companies will get to exploit the oil.
A conspiracy theorist might suggest that the US wants to bomb Iran again to distract from the fact that the entire political class is ass-deep in fraud and money laundering scams using taxpayer dollars.
It's me. I'm the conspiracy theorist.
Thomas Massie is going NUCLEAR on Trump’s regime change war in Venezuela.
“How did it work out in Cuba, Libya, Iraq, or Syria?”
“Do we want another Afghanistan in the Western Hemisphere?”
“This is about oil and regime change.”
“Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs, weapons of mass destruction, that did not exist.”
“Now it’s the same playbook, except we’re told that drugs are the WMDs.”
“James Madison warned us that in no part of the Constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war and peace to the legislature—not the executive.”
“The framers understood a simple truth: to the extent that war-making power devolves to one person, liberty dissolves.”
“By escalating toward war, we would predictably create countless refugees.”
“Are we prepared to receive swarms of the 25 million Venezuelans who will likely become refugees?”

If this action were constitutionally sound, the Attorney General wouldn’t be tweeting that they’ve arrested the President of a sovereign country and his wife for possessing guns in violation of a 1934 U.S. firearm law.
The hemp provision in this appropriations package wipes out nearly 100% of legal hemp products overnight: killing jobs, crushing farmers, and overriding 23 state laws that already regulate hemp responsibly.
Our farmers have turned to hemp as a lifeline when fertilizer, fuel, and equipment costs skyrocketed and crop prices fell. Instead of working with us to crack down on bad actors and synthetic cannabinoids, some in Congress chose prohibition.
Kentucky jobs are not collateral. Our farmers are not bargaining chips.
I submitted 2 amendments to the CR/minibus to fix onerous provisions in it. The rules committee allowed neither to get a vote.
One amdt mirrored @SenRandPaul’s effort to remove the hemp ban that will devastate the industry. The other would reinstate Congressional budget rules.
Us: Could we get those permanent DOGE cuts, no new wars, the Epstein files, and an end the Dept of Ed?
Trump: Best I can do is invite an Al-Qaeda general to the White House on the USMC’s birthday.
They are about to shut down small farms and CBD/microbusinesses with a few lines of text tucked into a 1,000+ page bill nobody gets time to read. That’s not governance, it's sabotage.
When I become your President I will create 50-year mortgages, 15-year car loans, bring in 600,000 Chinese students, tell the American people we need H1B visas because there is no talent here, and protect the Epstein files so no pedophiles are bright to justice!
