Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland
YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

Walk down the street. Everything is Labubu. I look at the city. It, too, is Labubu. 'What has become of us?' I cry. Hearing no answer, I turn to my wife. She is Labubu.

This is why I always felt weird about being "in tech" once everyone assumed that meant startups.

I want to make things that people use, alongside people I can learn from and get better together.

Startup people wanted SCALE or SPEED and that's theirs to want, but it bothered me to be lumped in.

EPISODES β€” Money Unplugged Podcast

Episode 27 of the Money Unplugged podcast is the crossover episode about money and movies I never knew I wanted.

They talk about movies with the highest ROI, however for the flipside I really enjoyed reading Fiasco: bookshop.org/p/books/fias....

Making Time I get asked how I "do so much" sometimes when I meet people in the context of starting new side...

Some early morning thoughts on releasing a lot of projects.

The roadmap to Product/Market Fit (PMF)… maybe This eight-step process brought WP Engine from an idea to a Unicorn. While there are other roads to Product/Market Fit, consider copying some of these ideas.

Koan #11

β€œOf all the people in the world, some passed by your door.
β€œOf all those, some peaked inside.
β€œOf all those, some lingered over a pot.
β€œWhere were you, at this precious, rare moment?”

β€œIn the back, making another pot.”

And the student was enlightened.

The scariest part of Five Nights at Freddie’s is when a pinball machine got smashed with a crowbar.

Client Challenge

Spent the morning updating pypi.org/project/dj-l... to 1.0.0! πŸŽ‰

Added more kwargs to make it more clear what the default pragma values are and updated the readme substantially. Seems good enough for a v1 imo. πŸ˜‚

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of theΒ Kitchen As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

Let’s play a game: name an β€œelevated horror movie” and I tell you whether it’s trying to be ROSEMARY’S BABY, REPULSION, or THE TENANT.

β€œAI can generate ___ so I feel like giving up learning ___”

This is a dangerous thought pattern that puts humanism at risk. Play that instrument, write that book, shoot that film, build that side project.

Two examples of including a partial. First is DTL with {% include %} which is too long so the new line breaks. The second is dj-include with handles the newline.

Two examples of including a partial. First is DTL with {% include %} which is too long so the new line breaks. The second is dj-include with handles the newline.

The HTML formatter kept breaking up a long `{% include … %}` tag and turns out DTL doesn't like new lines. πŸ₯²

Thank goodness `<dj-include>` works as expected.

The primary utility of static typing is not in automated correctness checks, it's in forcing you to write *something* resembling documentation for how to use your code.

The secret project we soft-launched Saturday is github.com/feldroy/air - but note it’s not fully launched, not ready for users yet. More of a preview β€œhey, check out what I just started working on but don’t look too closely” type of thing
