Looking through Linkedin and all the bad managers I've had seem to be cast from the same mould:
- Into "AI", but gesture towards doomerim to look reasonable - Believes "AI" coders will replace programmers - Pretending they weren't into "blockchain" a few months ago - Uses trendy PKM du jour (Aboard is replacing Notion among the MBA types) - Uses passive voice to gloss over the mistakes they've made in the past - Older ones talk about Web 2.0 as if it wasn't a bullshit marketing term at the time
I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates
It means that every post published was important to the writer
Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most
You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters
JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people.
WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve?
Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice?
One of my new year’s resolutions was to stop debating the incoherent AI claims MBA and tech bro types on private Slacks or mailing lists, but they just keep saying so much dumb stuff that it’s hard to just sit on your fingers and ignore them.
Managing to hold back for today despite claims like “society needs economic bubbles to build out infrastructure like rail or broadband” which is just 🤨😑🤦🏻♂️
@aral Not a clue. I’m guessing that it’s a (yet another) bug in their autocomplete system so it must have been affecting everything of theirs that uses it.
@aral Yeah, PWA installed to the home screen are essential if you want actually working offline apps. Hard to see how this isn’t malicious compliance esp. since that’t their play for everything else they’re doing (alt app store requirements, weird web engine reqs, etc.)
“Apple broke web apps in iOS 17 beta and hasn’t fixed them • The Register”
What a fucking shit show. With shenanigans like this Apple is punishing both the end users and—if we are to be honest—the Safari team, because it’s their hard work that’s being disabled https://www.theregister.com/2024/02/08/apple_web_apps_eu/
