DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

The outrage over the boat strikes was insufficient to put a stop to obvious war criming, so now we get this.

Americans voted for war crime proponents—open, unsubtle advocates for years, whose big criticism of the U.S. military and allies was insufficient war criming due to, uh, wokeness or something—telling themselves it would bring peace to the Middle East, and stick it to Middle Eastern war criminals.

Also, I realize that actors have trashed international law, but yes, civilian utilities are supposed to be protected under the Geneva Conventions. We’ve seen how Russia has acted in Ukraine & Israel in Gaza & Lebanon. It’s bad for everyone when war becomes a/b freezing & dehydrating civilians.

Seeing 50 and 60-year-old HN devs share how Claude Code reignited their passion for building software and solving problems over the framework rat race is exactly how I feel. I haven’t felt this energized in years. Detractors argue AI removes the craft and familiarity with implementation details.

They made a deal with Venezuela to starve Cuba of oil. With Iran, the goal is different. They want to bomb them back to the pre industrial age. Don't really need to negotiate with anyone for that.

This is a great history lesson on the mispricing of labor as technology cuts costs. I’ve written how hourly billing fields are in an interesting spot when AI does hours of work in minutes. How long until clients figure it out? This article argues software development faces this given Claude Code.

We have crossed 3 years of constant layoffs in tech and it’s now a worse job market than the housing crisis and COVID. It’s on track to be as bad as the dotcom crash which was a four year downturn, thanks to AI-driven layoffs, since it doesn’t look like the tech job market willl recover this year.

Tech jobs are getting demolished in ways not seen since 2008 and the dot-com bust
It's a rough time to be looking for a tech job. Economist Joseph Politano said losses in the industry outpaced those in the last two recessions.

So is where I feel the need to remind folks that the selective service system still exists. But in practice, yeah. Super-lazy back-of-the-envelope, holding all of Iran might require c. 600,000 ground troops. (~3x our max Iraq deployment). But you also need rotations, so 2x or 3x that.

The arsenal of democracy, built for and trusted by the world to enforce a freedom-based rules based order for nearly a century, being suddenly turned on the free world like a pro wrestling heel turn by the "indispensable nation", is one of the most unprecedentedly dramatic events in world history.

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear: Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes. Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.
