Pro-tip: If you want to really cause trouble at a company, send a complaint to multiple people within the corporate umbrella but make sure they are absolutely the wrong person--as low as you can go in the org chart. CC a couple people from unrelated departments.

You know how the tech stocks are plunging because of AI fears?
It's justified.
My team is delivering more high-quality software in a month than most zombie software companies have produced in their entire company history.
It's a rapidly dying industry.

Why has no reporter asked Trump why he paints himself an unnatural shade of orange?
I've been making fun of it for years but it dawned on me no one ever asked why it continues and appears to be worsening.

Remembering Kevin Mitnick who taught me the art of "planting the seed" and sitting back and watching the chaos unfold over time.
-You don't necessarily get results immediately...but you will get results.
-The easiest attack vectors always involve a human.
Remember that when you're securing data.

Conspiracies fail the more people that are involved. We need to move beyond people simply resigning. If the underlying reason they are resigning is blatantly illegal activity they need to report it to congress or trusted media reps like @cnn.com @nytimes.com Maggie Haberman.

Amazing how similar working with Claude Code is to working with a team of decent developers. You rarely get exactly what you asked for--it's usually better but sometimes wildly misses the mark.
Genuine joy to work with. Tip of the hat to the Anthropic crew responsible.

Woe is thee who hardcodes API keys in their claude md file. Just put it an environment var and reference the var where you were putting the API key. Your public github repo thanks you in advance.
Claude Code is the most impressive tool I've seen in 20 years. By far.

This is well founded. My AI-driven team is delivering apps several order of magnitude faster than an entire building full of old-school developers. Stay away from Insuretech and Fintech--they're the slowest adopters of new technology and will hit bottom hardest.

I used to work for a particularly awful tech company. They questioned--and required--that I put in tie-breaking code every time we generated a GUID because it could potentially be duplicated.
In a meeting I explained the odds and was told.."so you're telling us there's a chance."

Wife got hit by a clever Facebook hack.
Someone was able to add themselves to her ads manager account as well as some of her clients. The hacker created an Ads manager account with the same name as my wifes, then booted everyone but themselves from the ads manager accounts.

BREAKING: After Trump's allies took over TikTok this week, any mention of "Epstein" in DMs are not permitted.
Here's proof. Anyone else is free to try it.

Recommending all SMBs & Insurance Agencies stop buying software and consider one or two skilled architects to put together bespoke software using AI coding assistants.

Pretty sure TikTok is being censored now. New contwct under review, feed seems all old stuff. Giant gap in Minnesota related events.

So I just learned that Enterprise is renting vehicles to ICE. I infer ICE has a contract with Enterprise. I hope that you will consider that, regardless how competitive Enterprise charges might be, when you next rent a cat. Personally, hell will freeze over before I next use Enterprise.

Am I the only one tired of the inaction by the Democratic party now being followed with "we told you so--they're monsters!"
If you can't count on the democratic party to resist elimination of your healthcare do you REALLY think they're going to give a shit about your 2nd and 4th amendment rights?

Every incompetent manager I ever met when I was in corporate America said things like this administration--always untrue, vague or exaggerated stuff like "I'm just trying to save jobs" while doing nothing of the sort other than glorifying their own time-wasting nonsense and email-quality meetings.
