The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.
Screenshot of David Simon interview 
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Yes. Everything is.

True of good advice, and also of bad.

Do the hard thing.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

As a consultant with many different clients across tools and languages, I've done it for years. But that's a great way to describe it.

The single most insightful thing I've read about react:
a React component is a JavaScript function that you can sprinkle with markup.

Rob Snyder’s writing has been so good lately.

open.substack.com/pub/howtogro...
When startups work, it’s because they find demand, and shape their products to fit demand. Demand exists organically in some shape or form - it’s out there - the startup harnesses it, sometimes in creative and weird ways.

When startups don’t work, it’s because they push their product, trying to convince the market they should have demand. In other words, demand isn’t out there - it is manufactured, the founder tries to “conjure” demand, often through creative and weird tactics.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

huge dragon (only the head visible) resting in a body of water in a forest. Lots of vines and tree branches dangling down, a stream running over its head and a great white egret taking off from the water next to it. a mermaid with a pink tail resting on a rock and leaning back on her hands as her tail comes out of the water. In the background is a lagoon and some cliffs and further back the hint of a waterfall a precarious tall hill with a wizard's house sitting on top of it with a wisp of smoke coming out of the chimney. It is dusk and all the windows are yellow with the light from inside. a large winged blue dragon prepares to land on a nest with two baby blue dragons waiting in the nest for their dinner.
