Staff software engineer. Ready to fire your dev team? Hire 10x coders at @DecaLabsXyz instead. Ship fast or quality? Get both. 🇨🇦 Correspondent, @BowTiedBull.
Do you want to: - Get hired - Ship faster - Get promoted - Get informed, eh? When I’m not shipping as a staff software engineer, I’m writing: - Tactics that work so readers can max out their tech career - In-depth reporting on Canada’s economy, politics, and national…
It's incredible to read copy like this. Not only for the writing, but that it means plebs used to be literate. They could read this, quietly chortle while sipping their coffee, and then go and buy the product. RETVRN
Say what you will about the boomers but you can't deny they were copywriting geniuses No one writes ads like this anymore
Questions for Plato. Instead we get the worst data leaks of all time, fools shipping vibe coded garbage to prod and letting customers take the hit. They’re all copying the Coinbase KYC model. KYC = Kill Your Customers.
where is all the better software if ai made everyone a developer or a 10x engineer why isn't all the software better
I regret to inform you that national park campsites are becoming the new Carnival Cruises. Loud Bluetooth speakers all day and night. Incredibly risk campfires lighting whole commercial skids on fire next to pine forests. Max pain. Nature down bad.
It’s easy to forget until you get out on a road trip the delightful surprise of being served at a McDonald’s by high school students, not imported slaves. Incredible how much changed in 10 years.
you missed a zero. tbh $25k/month to 'audit' stuff that's going to go into production with no real devsecops guys looking after it is a losing proposition. maybe if it was definitely immutable but...yeah nobody values security, as usual the public can't discern and don't care.
one of you cyber bros needs to set up a "security audit as a service" offer $2,500/month (minimum) to sanity check, etc. vibe coded apps before they go to prod re: Tea
Never overestimate PMs. They’ll always let you down. Glorified JIRA ticket filers and “just checking in” unnecessary meeting schedulers. Then, they vibe code the biggest PII leak in years. Stay in your lane.
Founder of Tea Dating Advice was a previously a product leader at Salesforce Massive moment for big tech PMs Never doubt them again
Also Venice AI gave out around $10k USD of tokens to people who signed up and used their platform. How many shares do you get in any of the "public benefit" grifts for having a paid account with them?
This is why DeFi Education @BowTiedIguana @NightOwlCapital introduced readers to Venice private AI. Meanwhile plebs are sharing their deepest secrets and questions directly with the FBI via OpenAI. Few are ready for the age that cometh.
Classic build vs buy debate. Mainly comes down to if you have the technical edge and budget to build and maintain a system yourself, you can often be better off. If you don't, then you might be stuck or better off buying. AI has shifted the tradeoffs. B2B SaaS bearish.
Good time for Canadians to read Gulag Archipelago and prepare for what comes next. Few are ready for the age that cometh.
If Christians require a permit to worship in Canada, then we already live in a communist shit hole. Which, of course, we do.
A Dropbox competitor called Copy had a similar program. I paid $15 on Fiver and got 4TB of space. Used it for my cloud and client media backups for years before they shut down the app.
when dropbox first dropped their referral program, i spun up google ads… spent maybe $10 total & walked away with 1TB of free storage. easiest growth hack of my life. what’s the biggest “hack” you’ve ever pulled?

BREAKING: ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman says people share personal info with ChatGPT but don’t know chats can be used as court evidence in legal cases.
Few are ready for the age that cometh.
“We are birthing superintelligence. We are creating the mind of God, infinite, destined to solve every problem we’ve ever faced and usher in an age without death.”
Anyone else think about the Selective Service Act and where you’d be forced to serve if the draft came back? Hard not to with the growing big power tensions. I mentioned it casually to my wife, she was shocked it’s something I occasionally think about. Never crossed her mind.

🇨🇳 Xi'an just opened its 8th metro line! The design is crazy. As of this year, 54 cities in China now have subway systems and the brand new lines look quite sci-fi.

What’s happening inside Microsoft should scare every American worker. Yes, these are REAL stories from those that were laid off. We got on the call. Muted. Cameras blocked. VP and HR read a script. 7 minutes. No questions. Then the call ended. No “thank you.” No “we’re…
You must learn to count Not only numbers. Count by order of magnitude, class complexity, etc
Nobody will learn from this, but this is definitely one of the top PII leaks in history. Incredible things are being discovered. Models are being trained on the effectively labeled data. Few are ready for the age that cometh.
