meet James Hamilton
he’s Amazon’s literal very top engineer, the brain behind all the data centers
he lives in a custom yacht and does not give a fuck about any RTO
everyone mad about this take has major ngmi energy
a CS degree does not entitle you to a job
nobody is obligated to hire you
nobody owes you shit
you better develop your craft and show some initiative to learn, or you will simply lose to those who do
now back to my deadlifts
met a young guy who just graduated with a cs degree & can't find a job at all & I asked if he did any side passion projects or leetcode or had a strong opinion on rust or python or javascript & it was a no to all & dude if you can't even fool me, maybe it's not this job market
girl i dated in college would put some Lana Del Rey on whenever we fucked
got to a point where she had me so pavlov’d up that she could just play Lana whenever she wanted some
THE AI REVOLUTION IS HAPPENING AND YOURE TRAVELING???

linux will never succeed as a desktop OS because when faced with mild usability criticisms, linux users are incapable of saying anything except “skill issue”
like 97% of thinkpad guys are left curves who think they’re right curves, and think hating apple is a personality
the other 3% are some of the most capable engineers out there, truly in it for love of the game
and every single thinkpad guy reading this thinks he’s in the 3%
i love penguins and open source and used desktop linux for 6-7 years
but linux on the desktop is mostly just for teenagers who can’t afford a mac yet, sorry not sorry
y’know what this means?
apps using Redis as primary DB passed technical due diligence in acquisitions by Facebook and Discord
the tech giants tacitly endorse using Redis as primary DB 😏
Shut down all the large squat rack clusters. Shut down all the large lifting men (LLMs). Track all creatine sold. If intelligence says that a country outside the agreement is building a squat rack cluster, be scared; be willing to destroy a rogue lifting center by airstrike.
people who think you can’t use Redis as primary DB are the same people who stand there at the corner with nobody around, waiting for the little walk sign instead of just crossing the street

saw a tweet today like “haha the new guy at work bought a book on git and is reading it, what an anti-signal!”
but see, that guy tweeting? he’s playing short-term games
the guy reading the book is making a deeper investment, to pay off for his whole career
play long-term games
Poll question from my 12yo:
Everyone responding to this poll chooses between a blue pill or red pill.
- if > 50% of ppl choose blue pill, everyone lives
- if not, red pills live and blue pills die
Which do you choose?
first Disney movie → sexuality
beauty & the beast → i can fix him
lady & the tramp → nice gf fuckboy bf
sleeping beauty → true love
snow white → short kings
pinocchio → size queen
cinderella → foot fetish
lion king → furry
aladdin → rich gf poor bf
mulan → yellow fever
lots of tech guys who watched the social network as a teenager and identified a bit too much with that one little cucky boi who got diluted
and now they fear it to their bones

did you know postgres and MySQL are actually owned by the same company?
they’re just pitted against each other as a psy-op by Big SQL to distract you from using Redis as primary DB

literally what are you talking about
every car sold in the US in the last decade (and then some) can brake hard enough to exceed the grip of the tires and lock them up
smart autists who are obsessed with something will always eventually beat people who have experience but not obsession
the hard part is just getting smart autists to be obsessed with your thing
but if you can do that…
"YC acceptance rate only 1.5%!!! more selective than Harvard!"
you can apply to YC for free, in an hour, at any age, from anywhere, every batch, over and over
you apply to Harvard once when you're 17 and that's it
how to evaluate developer tools and vendors:
- check if they spell Node.js as NodeJS
- check if they spell GitHub as Github
- check if they spell JavaScript as Javascript
if they fail any of these, write them off immediately
I didn’t know this kind of speed was possible in PHP. The author starts off with an execution time of 25 minutes to handle one billion rows and then shows us how he got it down to 27 seconds. Absolutely remarkable.
if i get mogged at a thing, they’re a tryhard nolife who allocated too much time to that skill
if i mog someone, i am simply superior, they have a skill issue and are ngmi
@samolus
yep, agreed, and I empathize with those who caught a worse deal than they thought they signed up for - it’s reasonable to be disappointed about all of that
it is not reasonable to face those new conditions but refuse to adapt or work to improve one’s position
you’re a SWE with two job offers, roughly the same in every way except one co uses
@linear
, the other uses
@Jira
how much more does the Jira co have to pay for you to sign?
god remember like 2014 when docker compose was still called fig and it was all this new incredible shit
and like you could just write some yaml and run one command and a whole fuckin thing starts up with 10 parts like you’re an orchestra conductor it was so cool
