Everything I publish, in the order I published it: dispatches from Twitter, videos from YouTube and notes from my vault, archived here in full — text, images, video and links — so they outlive the platforms.
For me it was having to deal with work-slop internally, but I echo the sentiment. This is particularly annoying when it comes from people that are super talented because I'm like "duuuudeee...noooo"
Well, this is also exactly what I'm launching Pudding for. So at least I can lead by example and prove to the people that, for better or worse, I actually "wrote that myself".
I’m seeing candidates with incredible work backgrounds destroying their chances at getting hired because they sound like mindless robots.
Before you use AI in your job applications and interviews (which I’m largely against unless it’s edits or asked for), consider the following:
1) will other candidates use it too? And will my using it make me not stand out?
2) is the person reading it fairly advanced in AI? And will they know I’m lazily prompting AI for these answers?
3) does using AI in this process hurt me?
I test for AI skills in my interviews. I require AI usage (you wouldn’t be a culture fit on my team if you didn’t use it). And low-quality AI use is muddling the process and ultimately making it worse for many candidates, as recruiters will lean more and more on networks over oversubscribed AI-slop-filled application processes.
On my way to face THAT ONE biggest, deepest, ugliest family-related issue today.
You know that one at the heart of 99% of one's struggle.
Took me years to safely uncover it, build strength to deal with it, lots of pain, frustration and fear because it runs so deep.
So. Finally, I can't wait to go through with it. I don't fear it, I don't even feel particularly negative about it anymore. I feel more like it's obvious and totally to my advantage to get this over with.
This is getting silly…
Wanna buy the intellectual biography of one of the most consequential figures of the 20th century for less than $4!? t.co/DuzmtzMEK8t.co/x8tKbp8hlP
@Ananyo I wish there was also a signed collector's edition, hard-cover, letter-pressed - you know the fancy kind :) I would buy that for $250!
Considering buying a @MinimalCompany phone especially because of this blurb on their website. Would love to read this study and any others that investigate screen-time. Tips?
Currently reading Atlas Shrugged and have enjoyed it very much so far. I'm half-way through, I'm on the edge of my seat but... I'm a bit worried about the whole the "industrialists and craftsmen disappearing and no one know where they went" part though. I am worried that John Galt is an actual person who is picking them up, building a kind of Shangri-La on some Billionaires island. :/
I think it took me almost 20 YEARS to figure out Twitter.
I remember going to this podcast conference in 2006 at Hotel Pennsylvania. And one of the companies there was called Odeo. They were nice guys and I thought that was a really good name but podcasts were kinda whack.
A few weeks later they launched Twitter and I registered soon after. I made the mistake to pigeon-hole it along the lines of Dodgeball (probably because of the SMS part) though and didn't think much of it since. LOL.

I was bored this weekend so I wrote a BBS for my PDP-11. Codespace is a maximum of 64K, and it's pure K&R v2. I'll let folks log in when it's more fully baked.
The hardest part was getting all of the menu selecting and highlighting and line drawing working using VT220 control codes. The rest is pretty vanilla :-)
You are offered a job with twice the current industry pay, but you must deal with older Unix operating systems and legacy applications all day long. Would you take it? #Unix #IT #Jobs t.co/EPH8Ofw99I
When you find yourself in a reading slump, consider revisiting the books that once captivated you.
Revisiting books that once sparked joy can reignite your love for reading.
Sometimes, stepping back onto comforting pages is the best way forward.
@readswithravi 100% agreed, that's exactly what worked for me - I restarted my reading with the two books that made me fall in love with reading as a kid: Enyd Blyton's "The Island of Adventure" and Jules Verne's "The Mysterious Island"
Okay, posting like this - without fear of what others may think - feels better than any note-taking tool I've ever used. I love Obsidian. And Notion. And even my own DIY apps. But this here, this Twitter-thingy. Wow. What a thrill.

Anyone remember the discussions we had when this landed in our orbit in... 2007? Over lunch 🍝 at Manganaro's up on 9th Ave?
And this was a few months before the iPhone came out.
For me, it was these four lines that resonated, and still resonate, with me:
there are notes in boxes that are empty
every room has an accessible history
you can search for sadness in new york
paths compete to offer themselves to you
