The AI is great but you still have to put in the time and do the work.

Had a performance review yesterday. I'm doing fine, but not a top performer. Problem is, the folks I assume are perceived as top performers are not actually performing all that great. They're just moving fast and "doing lots." Time to crack some skulls.
At some point at a young age I internalized the idea that being below 90th percentile was below average. Which is obviously asinine to say. But served me well to get where I am. Still can’t shake it.

This morning I reviewed some development that was done in 10 minutes. Spent an hour looking at it. It didn't do what it the description confidently said it did. At all.

I’ve been called an Apple fanboy before. I’m not offended by the label. I develop iOS apps for a living. I have a pair of Studio Displays (they’re great). 7 HomePods. A $5k M1 MacBook. I haven’t bought an Apple product in I think 3 years.

I order from uber eats/door dash maybe once a quarter. It's always a terrible experience.

Cold, overpriced food in an absurd amount of packaging.

No one cares about foundations. Better examples. Vibe coding == built on boring standards/cheap materials/no architectural value I wager to bet most people in the comments live in a building that looks like one on the left. Certainly no one builds anything like the right anymore

Once I started to really cook at home my standards for restaurant food went way up. Just say you’re bad at cooking. It’s ok. You can learn!
I agree with this. The people who keep screaming that it’s “cheaper” eat the same depressing, boring food, day after day. I’m not making chicken and rice and sandwiches and stew for weeks on end. Sure, that would be “cheaper” in the long run. But you’re eating like a dog.

I have so far entirely resisited the youtube algo. So much crap and like most algos, I find the whole experience insufferable. But maybe I need to spend some time figuring out how to curate what's there & worth watching. I'm probably missing out. wsj.com/lifestyle/warren-buf…

Republicans cried wolf the entire second half of Biden’s administration about what was a pretty decent economy. Now they are shocked that with similar headline numbers today as in 2023 voters think the still pretty decent economy is terrible.

Yes. You tell them you're done with the room so they can clean it
Seeing a lot of people on here say that they check out of hotels at the front desk I don’t think I’ve checked out of a hotel once in my entire life. I just leave and assume they’ll figure it out after my reservation is over So now I need to know Do you actually check out of hotels or do you just leave?

I get asked like every 3 days if I want to upgrade to @nytimes "All Access Family." No. I don't. Someday I might. Probably not in another 3 days. Please stop asking.

Talarico should run this as an ad
WATCH: I want my grandkids to grow up in a strong and prosperous Texas, but liberal politicians like James Talarico are making it harder to get ahead. But when they come after you, I go after them.

As someone who makes no effort to see any sports content, I stumble on way more WNBA content than anything else. No idea why. Whatever they're doing is limelighting themselves very well

Good to hear! But how did this typo happen, and why hasn't it been fixed?

Got push notifications for “my dot”. Opened the app and there is no dot there Probably have to update the app. Whatever. Point of this tweet is how shitty and bug ridden this LLM software is. Don’t send me PNs I can’t open! It’s kind of embarrassing.

Not to mention this dot thing seems useless?
