In 20 days, we'll be a full year closer to January 1st 2050 than we'll be to January 1st 2000. If you're 30 or older, let that sink in.

A EA demorou 14 anos pra perceber que depois de BF3 foi só ladeira abaixo, e finalmente decidiu fazer um remake de BF3 e chamar de Battlefield 6.

Recently, I've noticed a significant increase in real programmers advocating for simplicity and focusing on getting shit done rather than endlessly debating "best practices" or chasing the latest stupid trend. It's refreshing and helps restore my faith in software engineering.

There has never been a better time in history to sharpen your programming skills There's unprecedented demand for quality software, and even those who knew how to write it are allowing themselves to forget how to Fuck the trends. Just build shit you like, non-stop! Be authentic

Imagine the amount of narcissistic behavior you need to try kicking the creator of a technology out of its own project because of your ideological views (cult?). In time: the Fork button is right there, and works for everyone. You don't need a stupid open letter to use it.

The Em Dash is the absolute ugliest typographic structural marker, and most of you (or whatever you've outsourced 100% of your writing to) embraced it and spread it everywhere. Shame on y'all.

All that to accomplish: 1) a chatbot saying "You're absolutely right. I'm being a complete idiot" in 8 out of every 10 interactions 2) developers falling out of practice cause they don't write code anymore, they "fix" bad code written by AI just to the point it just runs poorly

Hard to judge without watching the entire Emad's interview (which I will), but this is weird to hear. AI can be a bubble. Anything tradeable or investable can be a bubble, even when it is useful, economically valuable, and societally transformative. A bubble occurs when

It's so cute how people say "tax the rich" as if it's a mantra that will magically solve the world's problems. Let's do some quick math for the UK as an example, shall we? £100K/y earner Income tax: £27K NI: £4K Take home: £69K £25K/y earner Income tax: £2K NI: £994 Take home:

Nobody has ever done so much for the adoption of Linux as a desktop operating system as Microsoft is doing through Windows 11. Thank you Microsoft I use Arch BTW

I respect that 100%. Unless Craig doesn't have the balls, money, or decency, to back this up by ALSO saying "I'll pay you so much money that you'll only need to work 80hs a week for me for 5 years, and then you'll be able to retire". I'm sure that's the case, right Craig?
