For a dog that got sprayed by a skunk and then got two baths in 24 hours, she's still pretty cute 🥹

This was always true, but has become even more true now that we have AI to do a lot of what formerly took the most time.

And anyway, the time it takes to do something doesn't equate to its importance. If you're coding to solve the wrong problem for hours it doesn't matter.

If I worked for McKinsey I would charge thousands of dollars for this answer.

My answer is also not needlessly spread out over dozens of slides and tech reports.

Nothing has tested my immediate problem solving abilities quite like my dog getting sprayed in the face by a skunk.

The rapture, but we're all stuck inside of the internet now kind of like Tron.

Fwiw when I was as Home Depot, the labor day sales were almost nonexistent, and I ended up not getting anything at all. Yay tarrifs.

There is a dichotomy between valuing connection and authenticity with others and valuing optimization and getting things done. It was always there, but the presence of AI in the mainstream has exacerbated it. Like most things, it is not a true dichotomy, but more of a spectrum.

I don't care to read the squabbling on LinkedIn over whether or not this or that SaaS technology "is dead" when freedom of speech in general is dead in this country.

Official unemployment is 4.3%, but U-6 unemployment, which is people who’ve stopped looking for full time work or work part time but want a full time job is at 8.1%, a four year high.

Bias for action is a desire in most job descriptions, but fails to account for the fact that this trait, when over-hired for, leads to companies making things that nobody asked for.

The most impressive accomplishment I have that the AI Google summary didn't capture is that I have met THE Coconut Rice Bear in person.
