as an AI obsessive and long-time @ezraklein fan, I was excited to see yesterday's podcast with @GaryMarcus. Unfortunately, as I listened, my excitement gave way to frustration, and I felt compelled to write my first-ever megathread. Quotes from: nytimes.com/2023/01/06/podca…

I’m rejecting the career ladder metaphor in favor of the career river. Here’s why: 1. The ultimate goal of the career ladder is: reach the top. The ultimate goal of the career river is: reach your ocean - a thriving, wide-open ecosystem fed by other rivers to explore. /

Modern architects design the organization along with its tech. Luckily we know more about org design than we might think: The biggest throughput killer in distributed systems is a synchronization point. In orgs that's called a meeting. Same effect! Ride the #architectelevator

I'm so proud to be part of this team! Confectionery is the culmination of several months to build a library of validations for Terraform and realize our Policy-as-Code vision, by moving all the Infra checks to pipelines.
Excited to announce the release of Confectionery! It is a rule library to detect misconfigurations in terraform files. We've been leveraging this internally for a while and are excited to share this with the wider community! github.com/cigna/confectione…

Wow--SCOTUS doesn't just rule in favor of Google in @googlevoracle, but says that API reimplementation is fair use *as a matter of law*, meaning that the decision applies to all APIs

Post-impeachment, we can say this: Trump's presidency has amended the Constitution. Not formally, of course, but informally...which matters just as much. Here are the five Trump amendments. 1/9
