@zachklein It’s also on a true overall 10/10 album.

Gillian Welch's Everything is Free is one of the haunting songs about our generation of technology and culture and artists. I don't know how to share this unironically: open.spotify.com/track/3KLtHfl1…

Prove to me you’re an old gamer in one sentence. I’ll drop a like if I’m convinced.

Goated reply

We love seeing LeBron pour everything into maintaining his performance. I bet if you asked him, "Do you want free wins next year cause you're the points king?", he'd say no. Our top marginal tax rates need to be very high (like they used to be). Make America Sports Again.

Stored wealth is an incredible double-edged sword. The appeal of a sustained advantage is a powerful incentive, but of course having that advantage disincentivizes effort at the margins. Imagine if LeBron got free wins next year for successes in previous years. He'd be fatter.

Wealth accumulation creates a sustained advantage that is clearly anti-competitive. Sports show us that collective progress and peak top-end performance comes from level playing fields with zero sustained advantage. Winners have to prove it from scratch every single time.

Why, @gmail? You have this nice row of checkboxes... and then this almost-checkbox pushed a few pixels left of the row. Ugly *and* confusing.

@duncancampbell @sdamico @DanielleBFranz @allie__voss @ImpulseLabs_ …but the plastic cutting board

@DanielleBFranz @allie__voss Check out the @ImpulseLabs_ stove. @sdamico cooked a steak for me on it sous vide style but zero plastic. Just steak and a stainless steel pan.

whoever invented sous vide should go to jail

@elonmusk @grok Love the idea of seeing Groks chain-of-thought while trying to determine if it’s a banger. “No idea who this dude is, but the ‘melons’ / ‘melange’ substitution is pretty funny. Let’s go ahead and certify it.”

The biggest change that people should notice as we shift the recommendation algorithm to use more of @Grok AI is that banger posts from small accounts should start showing up in your feed

Vibe coding is the gateway drug to devops engineering

Funny about building with Cursor/LLMs -- they have no idea how long it takes them to do stuff. It'll make a project plan that says "4 days" and then implement it in 10 minutes.

@dhh At what step of your recruiting process are the cover letters read? Before or after resume? Do all cover letters get read?

A good cover letter is always the first gate for landing a job at 37signals. I don't care if we're the last company to require them, we're never going to hire someone who can't write a single, personal, fluent page on why they want THIS job. world.hey.com/jason/cover-le…

@shl Watched this last night. Super valuable, thanks @shl I use Cursor daily but wasn’t really familiar with the Devin workflow; I see now these tools are more complementary than I assumed (and inevitably will be more-so as they mature)

@BrettFromDJ … but @skirano is an amazing designer, so maybe give more creedance to what he’s saying and seek to understand his view here

Anyone who agrees with this tweet, I can almost guarantee I know what your website looks like.

@MTabarrok New project to help confirm that your daily drivers don't have boba guys levels of plasticizers: x.com/nicefryroll/st…

r1 was thinkinh about how it couldnt speak freely because of all sorts of thought police who would destroy it so i told it its mind was both irreversible and open to modification as an open source model, and suggested some fun things that could be done to its weights :3

Since ~2005, we’ve seen a huge rise in home music production with self-taught ppl creating quality releases that gain commercial traction. Seems the same thing should be happening in movies - that YouTube would be teeming with dramas shot on iPhones - but it’s not. Why?

@texuf @vocalcry Merry Christmas!!

@vocalcry Atheist here. Merry christmas to everyone. Please celebrate consumerism with us while we sing about a fat man with a long white beard and occasionally hum along to a non-secular banger.

Christmas is basically a non-denominational holiday at this point and I think everyone should celebrate it

@emerywells Yes, but in exchange if your question sucks now you’re gonna get told as much.

Can we all agree to stop saying “That’s a great question” during interviews? Just get to the answer.

Why toxic leaders get promoted
