A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

Multiple of these at work recently. I wonder how these people swing effortlessly from pumping bitcoin to ai to whatever’s next without people noticing.

One thing we might get out of all this is being more demanding of new coding paradigms having some data to back them up. As programmers, we've accepted "trust me, it's better, bro" far too often for decades.

AI sure is a lot of 'feelings' from the same people who brought us 'facts don't matter to your feelings'

what are the *best* studies of AI coding that *measure* it, not just ask the devs how they *feel* about it?

not if the dev thinks they're faster. but if they *measure* faster by some reasonable methodology.

best study i know of is the METR study. that's limited (and lists its caveats). >>

I’m reading a 2012 book about YCombinator and keep reading passages that are just a quilt of red flags.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
