I’ve been a little too heads-down building these last few years… Unfortunately in the past month or two I’ve come to the conclusion that while I’m proud of what I built, my startup has one last swing left and it’s not one that needs me. So I am on the hunt for what’s next, be it leadership or IC.
Little over halfway through my Scotland trip and my biggest takeaway is we collectively have done Haggis dirty.

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press.
Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.

Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.

If buying isn't owning then piracy can't be theft. Any reasonable corporation knows that.
Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy.
It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it.

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

I’m turning the corner on the fact that, with the right dev test loop tools, CORRECTNESS is no longer in question. But knowledge sharing and architectural overview still is, so what does a(n agentic) PR review look like from that lens
Testing a potentially unpopular opinion that I'm not sure the dev industry is ready for:
Unless you're shipping something like nuclear safety code, you probably don't need a human reviewer for your PRs.

Fantastic writeup of an incredibly complex problem with the interdependence of the entire food system and how the people it screws hardest are the people who care most
Ok. As promised, a thread about supply chain food safety vulnerabilities in the food industry.
Buckle up. It's a long one.

we do the ha-ha clueless thing but the truth imo is that it is culturally possible to grow up male-- and this is not intended as self-flagellation, just as descriptive-- without really internalizing that women also have sexual agency, which means you miss when they're exercising it at you
just remembering this time at a party a girl was said she had nipples pierced and was like wanna see? and i was like yeah so she took me into the bedroom and lifted her shirt and i was like 👍 and then we went back out and later i found out she was into me. she should have been more forward i guess
