LLMs are highly non-deterministic, which presents a huge design challenge: we've never built non-deterministic software, it's always been based off of branching logic and restricted options (hence: the GUI)— Neal Khosla (@nealkhosla) February 25, 2023

the thing lynch does better than anyone else in the history of cinema is play with gradients of reality, starting from an understanding that all film (like life itself) can be understood as dream, and so all film (like life itself) can feel real + unreal.

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.
Startups are (by necessity) filled with generalists; big companies are filled with specialists. People underestimate how effective a generalist can be at things which are done by specialists. People underestimate how deep specialties can run. These are simultaneously true.
The hardest problem in B2C is distribution. The hardest problem in B2B is sales.
Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution.
nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

If you were “mature for their age” you might have been parentified. Parentification is when a child is made to fill an adult role. This is an “invisible” trauma that has life long impact. HERE’S WHY: 🧵— Dr. Nicole LePera (@Theholisticpsyc) October 16, 2022
Parentification is an extremely common family dynamic where children are expected to: manage their parents emotions or issues (most common is marital problems), take care of the home & siblings on a regular basis, or act as a peer to a parent.
Children adapt quickly to this role. They learn they must betray their own needs, desires, & emotions to keep the connection to a parent.
Many children feel a fierce sense of loyalty to the parent thats parentifying them.
They want to fix, rescue, & protect that parent. It’s a true role reversal.

Hmm… yeah… frustrations and setbacks. I got a history degree, then went to motorcycle mechanics school, worked at a newspaper, taught English in Japan, went to grad school, and worked at 5 tech jobs without much success.

Something tells me that it being promoted into a way of assessing “profile quality” by recruiters who have no design knowledge or time to talk to candidates has certainly not helped.— Ana (@dingbats__) September 18, 2022
I worry that a whole bunch of designer effort is now going to be spent on making blobby wobbly pixels—but for what actual benefit? Making great software is still mostly about delivering useful and meaningful features for people.— Ken Kocienda (@kocienda) September 17, 2022
