“Why didn’t you ask Claude for help?”

they’re not “replacing workers with AI” they are doing a much older thing that is making the people who are left do all the work

Read this thread. Lots of similarities to Egyptian expats.

More Dem futility: More Dems are mad at Black men for saying things like "Don't put a million innocent Black men in jail" And "Don't shoot 2 Black men a day" And "Don't stop and frisk us hundreds of times in our lifetime" Than they are mad about the fact that these things happen.

More Dem futility: 1) Senator Biden got political air cover for his crime bills that put a million innocent Black people in jail, from Black congressman Clyburn.🤦🏿‍♂️ 2) President Biden also got a campaign boost from Clyburn.🤦🏿‍♂️ 3) GOP used the decrease in Black voters to eliminate Clyburn's district.🤷🏿‍♂️

Dem futility explained: 1) If there had been 1 million more Black voters in 2016, Trump could not have come close to winning 2) There were not 1 million Black voters, because senator Biden's policies had put 1 million innocent Black people in jail🤦🏿‍♂️ 3) 2026 Dems are still pushing "tough on crime"🤡

AI psychosis has created a short sighted thinking that’s gripped tech. You see it in skipping entry level hiring and treating workers poorly while signaling you’ll automate them out ASAP. Look at Google Search. Why create content if AI overviews kill click throughs? Who is thinking long term?

So, come to find out, it is possible to create a reparations program after all.

Social contracts in tech are breaking down. CEOs deciding AI means tech skills are no longer scarce and treating employees poorly is well trodden ground. Friends are seeing the same thing inside companies as teams and functions value peers less because AI makes them less reliant on each other

At this point I believe there is some CEO group chat where they share an “AI productivity gains” template. GitLab announces 1. Software will be built by machines, directed by people. 2. Removing up to three layers of management in some functions so leaders are closer to the work.

“Say it louder for the people in the back!”

I felt this post in my core. So spot on.

Great post by @crawshaw.io On the point of early Microsoft development practices, I vaguely recall reading Microsoft Secrets by Michael Cusamano which might have some insights. I read a LOT of books about Apple and Microsoft back in the day as Jobs and Gates were the only “role models”.

exe.dev is pretty amazing and you should try it

TFW your kid asks about the architecture diagram you’re working on because it looked similar to something they saw in their college intro to computer science. 💜 That, and they showed any interest in your work AT ALL!

It’s a shame Microsoft is making all of its most experienced employees retire; they might want some of their shooters when it’s time to bring out the old-school MS playbook on how to fuck over your partners.
