Juuuust in case you didn’t know this, #hyperfocus comes at a cost. If you (or your boss) gets super excited at the epic amount you got done in x amount of time, remind them/you this is not a sustainable practice 🤣 And when it wears off, expect to be fairly useless for a bit

On the one hand, no one should use SMS based 2FA. No one. On the other hand, this is insane. – at Seattle, WA

I heard DigitalOcean laid off the entire tutorials tech writers team, among others. It's weird because the tutorials are one of the reasons for their big success IMHO. If I was a competitor, I'd hire them all

No. This is about cutting the Twilio bill. All this does is a) force millions of users who don’t change auth methods into having less secure accounts. B) allow your paying users to still use the least-secure option for 2FA. – at Seattle, WA

A woman at another big tech company (that I won’t name) told me a male leader responded to a question on diversity goals with “diversity is a luxury, right now we need to focus on people who can do the job” A lot to unpack there, & an unsurprising view we knew many had all along.

I thought I was pissed about the @digitalocean layoff yesterday, but then I read the earnings call from this morning. Here's the highlights. * Revenue grew 34% YOY last year🤔 * Approval to buy back 500 million stock * Already bought back 600 million worth of stock last year

The older I get, the more I realize the biggest problem to solve in tech is to get people to stop making things harder than they have to be.

4 ways OpenAI appropriates labor & externalizes costs of ChatGPT: – authors of training data not compensated – workers in Kenya paid $1–$2/hr – those who identify failures not acknowledged/compensated – civil society, academia, regulators left scrambling to adapt/mitigate risks.

A community is a shit community when it’s almost exclusively white male founders who succeed. Have you noticed that there isn’t a single female-led company in YC that has accomplished a multi-billion dollar valuation? This is not a coincidence.
