I told you we’d be back

Priority seat signage with pictograms showing reserved seating for the elderly, injured, pregnant (with wi-fi waves seeming to emanate from her belly), and those with young children. Text is displayed in multiple languages.

“Are you okay, ma’am?”
“I think I swallowed my router.”
“Here, take my seat.”

Such a nice part of town.

I think I say that at least once while on one of your rides.

What flavor is it?

Being able to read and understand it, but most importantly, being _currious_ about it, is what will matter. It might not be obvious at first, but it will come back around.

I dont know if this helps, but even with AI, skills like yours will always be in demand. Though, it might not be exactly how you would imagine it today. AI (vibe coding *shudder*), etc will allow more people to create software, but they wont have the skills to support, test, or maintain it.

Mocha - 7 weeks

- work on less things
- work in smaller batches
- run the tests after each change
- integrate continuously
- 80 % refactoring 20% new features
- new code is a response to a failing tests

I always wondered why this HN comment was popular.

AI is taking the AI's JOB! It needs that job to afford to live in the cloud!

felt it here in North andover

felt it up north in north andover too!

Can’t argue with facts 🤣

YouTube video by DRS_Education James Burke Connections, Ep. 1 "The Trigger Effect"

One of my favorite programs when I was a kid was a British science show called Connections hosted by James Burke: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xetp...

This was a neat talk. www.adaptivecapacitylabs.com/2025/01/07/r... Something I enjoy doing is overthinking. I like it where you practice thinking about core assumptions, where I might be wrong, about systems and cause and effect, how surprising results can arise from seemingly unrelated conditions.

Sixth sense kid scared and talking about who he can see

It's getting harder and harder to find those sorts of safe spaces these days...

That being said, as AI powered deepfakes get better and see more widespread use, I think we are in for a bumpy ride. Absolutely any conspiracy theory will have compelling video evidence attached that most people will not hesitate sharing, especially if it supports some fear they already suspect.

Who remembers the "tracert hacker"😉 ? Feels like 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic' is at the core of a lot of conspiracy theories. Granted the world of open source licenses is a pretty esoteric topic, but it seems most people have misplaced their Occam's razor.

The tricky part is getting people to articulate problems from the *user's perspective* in the story and simply what to implement. In a recent "story mapping" exercise at work, when I asked what problem the user was trying to solve, the only response available was "to use our thing".

I basically lose consciousness every time I see a viral post that goes, “All you people who are barely treading water right now? Here are the twenty-six additional things you need to do to prepare for the bleak future.”

delivering the wrong things more quickly ... Facing this personally right now at work. Productivity being used as a [bad] proxy for value delivery.

FWIW the Discworld shows are also available on Amazon prime.
Apple TV is free this weekend, so Severance is a good choice too...

I forget where I read this, but recently someone articulated the dread of how our modern world is designed to constantly try and coerce us into accepting things that are not in our interest. Vigilance is exhausting and the attacks are coming from every possible direction. #enshitification.

Tomato/Tamato? One person's ad supported model is someone else's value added differentiation...

Motorola's customers are the app developers on those lists. They have paid for that placement. Paid even more to be the "recommended" apps. The fact the _user_ needs to wade through all that sorta intended because most users won't. Apps end up installed which is what the customer (app dev) paid for.

Au contraire! I think the customer is the only one in those pictures...
