All the expletives I grew up with have been shunned by civil society. Now if someone annoys me, I can only respond with: - Sir… can you not? - I’ve had a wonderful time but this wasn’t it - The finest sieve is no match for your brain

A thing to remember about AI-generated LinkedIn slop is many of those people (marketing people, corporate division chiefs, comms and PR professionals) are objectively among the most educated and literate people to have ever walked the face of the earth.

Anthropic: “Fable is an agentic coding superweapon, capable of developing cyber- and bio-weapons at unprecedented speed and scale. We cannot in good faith release it without guardrails.” China: “lmao here’s Fable but open-source. Good fkn luck”

@JeromySonne @TimRowe_SOS Meanwhile, their “partner”.

Had an ad platform that does CTV that no joke claimed they couldn’t show publisher level CPMs because it would, no joke, “reveal their proprietary partner rates”. The absolute audacity of these con artists is getting out of hand.

Real-time footage of folks saying, "SEO is dead." Ok bud, I guess when a buyer looks up your category in their AI chatbot, you'll personally hijack their session and inject your brand.

We're finally developing some real antibodies on this website. Chesky's thoughtslop? Rejected. The "don't smile" grindslop? Rejected. The feed is healing.

Congratulations! You've been selected to absorb another team's workload.

A lot of people complain about getting laid off, but if it didn't happen to me, I would've never launched my own startup and start making $6k/year.

If a founder was never good at video games, that's a red flag.

Only cowards gave up the em dash. I have instructed all my agent to cry only using em dash ascii art tears when they're having a hard time with something.

IMO launches are a highly overweighted role in product marketing. It's hard for me to not roll my eyes when I see "product launch and release planning" listed as a KRA in a job description. If you follow the hottest startups coming out of accelerators today, you'll notice that their leadership is shipping features every day, sometimes multiple times a day. If you are truly in the product business, that's the velocity you need to aim for. A lot of "product launch" work, as slightly larger companies tend to use the term, is nothing more than internal stakeholder theatre and slide deck ping pong. Then you launch the big thing and get 3 likes, 2 of whom are people in your own team. Talk about your product every single day, leave the big launch to the FAANGs of the world. (Or it that MANGO now?)

Job applications: "Would you like to tell us anything else about yourself?" Me: "Yeah my Uber rating is 4.83."

God grant me the rate limits to accept the things I cannot fix, tokens to build the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
