engineering manager reporting for duty 🫡
The ADHD dream career is being a professional "idea generator" who sits in a room for 1 hour, solves everyone else's complex workflow bottlenecks with chaotic lateral thinking, and then vanishes into thin air before anyone asks for a written report.

the problem with “compute on tap” is that rarely is everything else “on tap”
I have always hated AWS lambda. It is a psyop foisted upon the world by AWS solutions architects. The worst incident I’ve ever been a part of was caused by a bunch of people (understandably) messing up the connection pooling on their AWS lambdas and bringing down a core service.

incredible how chatgpt can just spit out way better designs than this garbage
The heartbeat of a new era.
Setting the pace for the sports sedan once more. THE NEW BMW 3 and THE NEW BMW i3.
Available with petrol or all-electric powertrains.

someone sitting in traffic complaining about the traffic
I left Silicon Valley 6 years ago
Why?
Because it's a monoculture
The most extreme group think of any place on the planet
Show up to a dinner party and everyone is in tech
So what do they do? They start stack-ranking each other
And it's a totally ordered set: being founder of co $100B market cap > founder of co with $50B market cap > managing partner of tier 1 venture firm > hired CEO of $50B public co > founder of $10B co > etc etc
Pure toxicity that nerfs creativty
And then as a corollary, people are especially afraid to speak truth to power as everyone knows their place in
"The Hierarchy"
Reject this nonsense. Stay weird. Think independently. Be honest with yourself. Have fun.

don’t worry, it’s just people liquidating their treasury positions in preparation for the anthropic ipo
🚨 THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD.
Entire US bond yield curve is going parabolic.
US01Y is at a 25-month high
US02Y is at a 28-month high
US05Y is at a 19-year high
US10Y is at a 19-year high
US20Y is also at a 22-year high
US30Y is at a 19-year high
Higher yields across the board mean higher borrowing costs for the government, businesses, and consumers, and that's bad news for both the economy and stocks.

this will be a banger if it is done even remotely well.
you’ll see clones of it roll out across the major cloud providers quickly. long overdue.
Cloudflare is working on K2, a durable event-stream primitive.
It's a named, append-style log of "records" you produce to and consume from, with a configurable retention window, writable from a Worker binding or over HTTP.
Basically Cloudflare Kafka.
