@paularambles absolute banger

You see, what fascinates me about “remember to not smile” is that he needs his pain to be witnessed. He suffers at 4am, okay, fine, many people suffer. But then, immediately, he makes a slide! He gathers the entire company! He writes an article! Is it not clear what is happening here? Suffering without an audience simply does not count. This is ideology at its purest. We see here the old Protestant trick in its Silicon Valley form: success alone is vulgar, almost pornographic. My god, you cannot simply succeed. It must first be purified through unnecessary suffering. So you get this obscene reversal where pain stops being a cost of the product, and instead becomes the product itself. The developer documentation is, how do you say, merely the byproduct, the excrement of the true production, which is the suffering. As Hegel already knew, and here I think even Lacan would agree, although perhaps not, the true obsession is always with deserving success. Here I must tell you this old joke from Soviet Union. A worker says: "we pretend to work, they pretend to pay us.” Now here it is inverted, which I claim is much worse. They are paid perfectly well, wonderfully well, and so they must pretend to suffer. Do you see the perfect madness of this? And now, the ultimate obscenity. Imagine the company succeeds while everyone leaves at 5pm. Catastrophe! Total ontological catastrophe! In this worldview, I am tempted to say, failure would almost come as a relief. Failure means you simply did not suffer enough, go back, suffer more. But success at 5pm? This cannot be explained. So when he says "remember to not smile," this is a desperate command of the superego. If you smile, we will all discover the pain was never necessary.

@PrasVector im sure they’d laugh at your jokes too they seem nice 🤣

@JessicaYFung I feel like the office crew would at least laugh at my bad jokes. The suits crew would just judge me silently.

we went from hiring the office cast to hiring the suits cast

silicon valley next

@ryanatkalshi DM'd - have the perfect candidate in mind

Kalshi is looking for someone to run our short-form comms - this person will live and breathe X and get paid to do it I have hired for a lot of different roles and can safely say that this is not my area of expertise. So, I'm outsourcing it If someone sends me an X username (or volunteers themselves) and we hire them before EOD thurs, I will wire them $15K and commission an oil painting of their face My DMs are open

@RhysSullivan so good

cloudflare's marketing game is crazy

@adriyumul these lexie memes are killing me

me when i soft launch a sore throat before a night out

@thetolerantweft real like can we get an outbreak of joy

why is there never an outbreak of something nice

i've been a big fan of porto rocha's work for a while now and was pleasantly surprised to find out they did tinder's rebrand - a few thoughts: > happily tbd: not promising an outcome but celebrating the process of getting to whatever outcome (do people enjoy the process of online dating though?) > they're trying to dis-associate swiping from doom-scrolling by revealing something underneath: described as a motion design choice rather than behavioral but imo being more intentional could slowly lessen the dread people feel from being on these apps > fictional narrator to channel their tone of voice: modeled after carrie bradshaw, the people really do love nostalgia - ngl i'm kinda over the whole 'this is your big sister talking' type of content but tinder really was the first player in the space so they've earned it > aesthetics wise this looks like a magazine / digital publication but i think that strengthens the above (their X account is dead so maybe they're going to have a 'T' persona?) > overall - i saw some comments about how they played it too safe, but i think they did a good job designing for the masses while still having an opinion - so many people use tinder still that i really don't think they had a need to be disruptive, more so a refresh to bring themselves into the current era

time to eat cooked fruit
