Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

i’m sick of white men with bad opinions controlling open source

if you are a maintainer of an OSS project and you also are not a fascist, reach out if you need design support from world-class design talent.

i will either do it myself or find a friend that isn’t a fascist to help out.

And that he writes that as an immigrant on settled land, that tells you a bit about how well reasoned his position is.

As an immigrant in Copenhagen, a British citizen, a child of immigrants, a grandchild of immigrants and refugees, and fuck it, a person with a heart, DHH can still get fucked.

As a friend of people who left that company, I’m not surprised.

I’m sorry but D gets Calabria, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, and Japan. And Sydney. There’s no contest.

G gets an honourable mention mainly for Mexico and Morocco.

Yes

Every day, somewhere between 10 and 20 times as many Palestinians are slaughtered by Israel.

It's not just that they don't get these messages of grief and condemnation from British politicians.

British politicians continue to arm their murderers.

This new study shows: in Germany, it has become much harder for children to earn more than their parents, now about as hard as in the US: "parental income has become much more important for educational outcomes of children"

After a year of being a full-time dad, I'm looking for what's next. With a career in fintech, SMB and dev tools. I've built products, shipped code and managed teams as both a designer and director. I'm looking for small teams with conviction to be profitable. Building low and slow.

The funny thing is animals actually can suffer and we slaughter them by the billions but sure let’s have an existential panic over whether a software program screams when we turn it off

Whenever it gets above 25 degrees in Northern Europe it’s a great time to think about stereotypes of people from warm countries. Because everyone here is like “I can’t do anything it’s impossible my brain doesn’t work”

Getting anything done in the tropics is impressive.

This kind of wilful misunderstanding is what fuels bubbles.

Automatic Business The Perry Bible Fellowship

Personally, I think Perry Bible Fellowship had a pretty solid take on AI taking our jobs.

And as an aside, it’s nice to find more interesting design voices like @carlyayres.com and @goodspeed.bsky.social here on Bluesky. Makes me optimistic.

Designers! Designers! Designers! Why everyone’s hiring (and no one can find talent)

If I ran a software development organisation, I would start drawing up contingency plans in case GitHub becomes an AI slop growth casino.

GPT-5 is so amazing it can make 52.8 higher than 69.1 on a bar chart

It can even make 69.1 and 30.8 THE SAME SIZE

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

Yeah I think the idea of gamification and habit psychology got the better of a lot of people. Apps like Gentler Streak I think are doing a good job of trying to bring some nuance and compassion back to motivation.

Bennelong right? Such a beautiful space and building.

Typical day would be 2-4

And if because of this, they had less resources, pressure, and incentive to convince us of anything about their abilities… would we then feel different about them?

Damn. Thought I had about seven years of scrolling to do today. 😅

If all the big LLMs were, because of their use of the public sphere, free and open, would we feel different about them?

Wait, butdoesitfloat is still going?!
