I’m trying to think of something more fucked up, but I’m struggling, here.
- Comment on My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts 1 day ago:
This guy’s argument is that he’s a 10xer because he’s using AI effectively, i.e. just proofreading its output and deleting the comments. (Also, why hire juniors when you can get the same work for $20/mo?)
I think this is a losing strategy unless all senior devs never retire and are immortal. (Or unless GAI happens in which case the world economy will collapse and who cares about strategy.)
It looks like what’s happening is that way fewer companies are willing to invest in juniors now, leading to falling enrollment in university, leading to a shortage of seniors, leading to very high dev pay, leading to increased enrollment. Eventually.

“I see you have extensive database experience. Can you elaborate on the white genocide?”
- Comment on Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans 5 days ago:
I think you’re right that this leads to increased efficiency. But in the case of the United States, we’re relying on a bit of inefficiency here to maintain freedom. I would suggest that there’s no difference between a dictatorship and an all-seeing government. Restricting the government is important in a free country, and making data on citizens difficult access is one of those restrictions we’ve been using.

I used to dream of watching a movie then falling asleep in bed while my car drove the 8 hours to my folks’ house.
But I’d want that beast to be bristling with sensors of every kind. None of this “cameras only” idiocy.
Someday. Maybe.

- Comment on Tesla Board Opened Search for a CEO to Succeed Elon Musk 4 weeks ago:
I hope they’re not lying with the denial. If he stays, it’ll drive left wingers to other options, increasing competition. And it might even drive right wingers to start buying EVs in quantity. 😁

Sorry to disappoint, but it was not. It was Double-Decker Pizza. Except this was a small local chain of two restaurants, not the one that you find on the internet today.
- Comment on I can't pay rent because devs just don't care 5 weeks ago:
The number of bugs we encountered the last overseas flight we took were astounding. Anytime from printing errors to baggage checkin not working to the inflight entertainment system needing rebooting.
There are so many layers of dependencies on everything it’s amazing it works at all.
- Comment on Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension 5 weeks ago:
The pizza place I worked at as a teen had this game and we had the key. So we’d pop it open and add tons of credits and play forever. This phrase is indelibly marked upon my brain.

- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 5 weeks ago:
Unless they’ve received notification to that effect. “Hey, y’all, we’re considering anti-trust so save that shit.”
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 5 weeks ago:
It’s illegal if antitrust action is anticipated, according to the article. That said, I know that most places I’ve worked have had a document retention policy that called for automatic deletion of most documents after some time period, like a year.
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 5 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s a lot worse. The particular difference is that one of these organizations has the power to disappear you without consequence.
