  • When you outsource the thinking, you outsource the learning.

    Stealing this because it manages to put technical concerns into hand-waving manager speak.

    And a pretty solid article. I think leaning on micro-enhancements to performance a little to hard at the end but the rest jibes with my experiences working in a large company where non-technical bloviators are leading the charge of changing the landscape of a field they don’t understand and have no training in.

    “We’re bringing AI to OKRs!” they say hungrily, as their weak arms attempt to pull the rug.

    “Sure you are”, I say, pretending to stumble.











  • Why is it when I miss a day of Daily Show it’s eviscerated from my feed entirely, but no matter how many Jordan Peterson thumbnails I hastily pass over, they still appear week in week out?

    To date I’ve watched one JP video: Matt Dillahunty verbally tearing him a new asshole.

    The right wing rabbit hole is real and, even if you’re explicitly against it, YouTube is like “if I can get him to watch just one …”, because they know they’ll have you watching videos like the guy from Clockwork Orange in no time. It’s disgusting.

    Pro tip: never press “do not show me this” on right wing videos, just skip over them. That engagement causes the algorithm to mark you as emotionally triggered by politics and they’ll just shovel more of the same in your face. For them it’s just a roll of the dice, and the value of them flipping you is too high to avoid.
