Imagine reading "you will know them by their fruits" and still thinking the people who did this are God's chosen people.

Every teacher I know personally is leaving the profession because students have become unteachable. They don’t read, they don’t talk to each other, they have no curiosity, no passion, no interest in learning. Giving kids unfettered access to screens has ruined a generation.

Yes, because you have SO MANY options to choose from these days! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 You know what you should do the next time you go on a job interview and they tell you what you're going to be expected to do and the conditions you're going to be expected to work under and instead of walking out the door like a sane human being you decide to let them have it? Because you know better than every other emotionally mature job seeker on the planet and literally anyone with a brain? You should tell the interviewer OFF. Yeah! Better yet if they don't give you the salary you want you should threaten to stab them to death in the parking lot! Instead of speaking like someone who has intelligence and negotiating from a position of strength having done your research and getting the salary you want, act like a complete fucking lunatic! That'll teach those sons a bitches! After all, it's merely by accident of birth that you're not in charge of the company and are forced to suffer the humiliation of having to apply for a job there! Tell them what you really think! Take no prisoners! You know better than them! You won't get the job but at least you won't starve by not being able to buy food because you don't have a job, you'll get three hots and a cot! Go get em tiger!

Employee resigned because he got Windows 11 instead of Mac 💀

The token cost to build a production feature is now lower than the meeting cost to discuss building that feature. Let me rephrase. It is literally cheaper to build the thing and see if it works than to have a 30 minute planning meeting about whether you should build it. It’s wild when you think about it. This completely inverts how you should run a software organization. The planning layer becomes the bottleneck because the building layer is essentially free. The cost of code has dropped to essentially 0. The rational response is to eliminate planning for anything that can be tested empirically. Don’t debate whether a feature will work. Just build it in 2 hours, measure it with a group of customers, and then decide to kill or keep it. I saw a startup operating this way and their build velocity is up 20x. Decision quality is up because every decision is informed by a real prototype, not a slide deck and an expensive meeting. We went from “move fast and break things” to “move fast and build everything.” The planning industrial complex is dead. Thank god.
