Snacks!!!
NEW, from me and @peard33: Meta CTO Andrew Bozworth told staffers the company did an “atrocious” job of explaining its vision for its new AI division, and will aim to “rekindle” a more cheerful internal culture through better communication, career growth, and even snacks. WIRED has seen the full memo. More below

Elon Musk: "If you punish people too much for failure, then they will respond accordingly, and the innovation you will get will be very incrementalist Nobody's gonna try anything bold for fear of getting fired or being punished in some way. So risk-reward must be balanced and favor taking bold moves, otherwise it will not happen"

Yea but can I cancel a subscription without pulling out my hair?
A Adobe acabou de se ajoelhar. Integrou 50+ ferramentas do Creative Cloud dentro do Claude. Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, Lightroom, Express. O arsenal inteiro entregue para rodar dentro da interface de outra empresa. A empresa que dominou criação digital por três décadas admitiu que perdeu o controle do ponto de entrada do usuário. Os números já vinham sangrando: → Ação a $240. Máxima histórica foi $688. Queda de 65% → 2026 YTD: -31%. Bateu mínima de 8 anos em 9 de abril → ARR novo no Q1: $400M vs consenso de $450M → Ontem, Mizuho rebaixou para Neutral citando competição por IA David Wadhwani, presidente de Criatividade e Produtividade da Adobe, disse no earnings call que o negócio legado de stock images "sofreu um declínio mais acentuado do que esperávamos" e que a migração para IA generativa está "acontecendo mais rápido do que planejávamos". O cara responsável pelo produto admitiu, em call público, que a empresa foi pega de surpresa pela velocidade com que a IA está comendo o negócio dele. E agora olha o que a integração com o Claude faz na prática: Antes: você abria o Photoshop, trabalhava dentro do ecossistema Adobe, a Adobe controlava a experiência e a cobrança. Agora: você abre o Claude, digita o que quer, e o Claude decide quais ferramentas Adobe usar nos bastidores. A Adobe virou backend. Fornecedora de API criativa para o produto de outra empresa. Quem controla a conversa, controla a monetização. Quem executa por trás, vira peça substituível. E o timing: a Anthropic anunciou o conector no mesmo dia em que a Adobe opera próxima da mínima da década, um dia depois de mais um downgrade. Receita projetada de $26B, margem bruta de 89%. Quase $3B de fluxo de caixa no trimestre. A Adobe não está quebrada. Mas quando você entrega suas ferramentas para viver dentro do produto de outro, você não está fazendo parceria. Está cedendo o volante. A era em que abrir o Photoshop era o primeiro passo de qualquer projeto criativo acabou.

Work . Final answer
In a world that prizes protecting feelings above everything, have we raised a generation that cracks where our grandparents stood firm—through wars, loss, and silent hardship? Discomfort = trauma. Feedback = attack. Disagreement = enemy. Entitlement has replaced discipline; resilience feels extinct. That’s why tiny triggers explode into outrage, truth sparks hate, and projection reigns. It’s fragility dressed as strength. Real growth lives in the uncomfortable: honesty, grit, inward fire. What if embracing discomfort became true empowerment—the ultimate self-respect? Where do you see this fragility most? Work? Relationships? Or is old-school grit making a comeback? Tell me below.

Nah… are companies being that brazen ?
"after 11 technical interviews" "your work has been accepted into our codebase" interviews are getting out of hand

I wonder why he feels safer?

Huge thank you 💚 to @altcap @chamath and @sundeep who forced me at dinner to go and get my Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CACS) The cheap $150 procedure only took 10min, and required no Dr referral I luckily got a score of 0, but know of others who found blockages and took preventative measures ASAP GO AND DO THIS TEST

Adobe pulled this scam w me in 2020 I since then tell everyone: AVOID Adobe at all costs, regardless if their software is good. It’s a rotten business from the top, and their execs don’t think scamming people is a bad thing. Never buying Adobe again (Use Canva, Affinity etc)

Facts
Karthik is spot on. The senior engineering manager role is slowly going extinct across tech (or at least much more rare then before). EMs in this role will find it harder to get their next position thanks to flattening of eng managment chains. It is what it is: better to know
