I did laugh at this meme, then but I came in here to make sure there was a warning.

Doing this is an awful way to spend a month in the hospital, get permanently disgusted, and possibly die.

Edit: disgusted --> disfigured, but I don’t have the great to change the existing text

And that’s based on one employee who joined after stock gains going to the press and not any actual evidence or standby from the company

You guys are sleeping and don’t have chronic insomnia?

6 months from now: “We didn’t sell it, we granted them a non revocable permanent license to be the exclusive producers of D&D content, but we still receive a royalty fee and have no control over it”

That has happened to me.

I’m currently running what was a team of three that all got fired and I got told to take over the whole thing alone.

Edit: they fired the whole team, then noticed they needed the output the team produced.

It also looks horrific because ice is white and stains with blood easily, so as opposed to shooting a deer in grass, killing a seal looks incredibly gory.

Why are we talking about Russia when my Ontario elementary school showed videos of the seal hunt? I vividly remember that happening with a strong: this is wrong take.

You can only get so famous before the seal penis lobby come after you.

Canadians need to realize that eating seal is as normal as eating a lamb chop or a veal sandwich,” added Kolga.

Am I having a stroke? What? What the fuck is going on with this article?

Who talks about fucking veal sandwiches like it’s an every day thing? I’ve never in my life seen seal meat for sale, not heard of anyone having tried it.

I like to thread the needle between “useful verification of identity” and “not a horrifying invasion of privacy that puts everyone in our society at risk”

Reading these kinds of things will just result in is creating horrible identification laws like having to scan your face each time you want to watch porn.

He can abdicate, he doesn’t have to die to lose his title.

Meta doing dividends to me says that’s where they are.

If they can’t get growth, they need to pay investors directly, or else the house of cards collapses.

And if I could short Google to 30% current value in 10 years I would, with AI they’re Yahoo and despite their best efforts aren’t even getting close to openAI, midjourney, or other AI companies, and they’re not able release the products they keep demoing to the general market.

I don’t know, last year I worked for a private firm that offered me a shitload of stock options then diluted them after I started.

You’re fucked unless you’re the boss.

“I mark them Urgent A, urgent B, urgent C… urgent D you don’t even really have to worry about”

I’m sorry to hear you got fired. Falling behind tickets is a failure of management not staff. If there’s too much work then you’re not scheduling enough workers

The more you learn about numbers, the more arbitrary you realize they are.

Careful, the tech CEOs will think this is a festival and coopt everything good about it.

Since Covid I think the tech CEOs only talk to other tech CEOs, VCs demanding their payout, and their EAs.

The CEO bubble was so clearly visible with NFTs and now AI.

I got into tech partially because you can scale a product much further and much cheaper than conventional industries. I was able to create and sell two small tech products/companies I made by myself, and that’s how I got into the industry.

I think in tech you can vastly cut jobs while keeping the product alive, but it’s impossible to grow a product without a solid team who knows the product deeply. These current cuts save money now and companies aren’t seeing the downside, but long term opportunities will become harder and harder to actually reach.

Having too many layers of hierarchy is bad because you can’t coordinate teams and move. Having too few means your staff will need to acquire tech debt and you’ll start seeing failures nobody understands.

This is short term gain for shareholders, long-term pain as companies will see lower growth and have to resort to more squeezing of existing customers.

I wish I’d spent more time as a kid doing mental math.

I’m terrible at it, but it is a useful skill despite having a phone in my pocket almost all the time.

Work in tech, I’m so fucking overworked lately that it’s massively cut down my productivity.

I can’t keep jumping from short deadline high priority to short deadline high priority and still do the baseline work needed to be efficient. So what ends up happening is I’m doing way more throw away work now than I ever have.

If I had more staff on my team we could balance the work out and get stable foundations to work from, but that doesn’t let leadership pretend we’re all better off now than a year ago and that the institutional failings of the org are all solved because they expertly threw the right people in the trash via randomly firing people.
