The year is 2027. The government has exercised eminent domain over all your household appliances and donated their RAM to the local OpenAI datacenter. You clock in for your shift at the replacing yourself factory, where you’ll be laid off by 1pm.

Tell Sam Altman that I use my 64GB of RAM to run print("Hello, World!"). I want him to know it's me.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.
There is something deeply wrong with Talarico

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez (@sanchezcastejon) was at the United Nations General Assembly during Trump’s “ideological speech.” He’s talking to Jon on an all-new pod tomorrow!

Scrum made sense at companies/teams that shipped a new version of their product every 2-3 months (or less frequent) As soon as a team got to shipping daily or had CD: they only held teams back Most startups + Big Tech moved on a decade+ ago, legacy companies remained only
it's funny how scrum masters completely disappeared and no one really cared

Software engineers need to talk with more people from other professions…
Software dev is one of the few industries where people work on weekends too. You know… working on side projects, upskilling, trying to get promoted, whatever. Now with AI and all that, are you still working on the weekends?

So many people are about to self-retire from our industry as a result of LLMs completing changing how coding is done. They hate it. They hate prompting, managing agents, reviewing. They want it to go back to the way it was. They're realizing it's never going back.
