I'm curious about the reasoning for this. Must've been really good terms for both sides or wanting to do well by compatriots. ElevenLabs previously raised a $500m and I don't know why t…

I think this whole genre is an issue of theory of constraints. -Before the internet, space to publish anything was scarce (and so were methods of finding specific information if it did exist), so news…

That's true. Although how the product is sold doesn't necessarily affect how we enjoy working on it imo. You can love writing code and working on tricky projects the same way you can love ha…

I think your take is very balanced and true. I've also never felt as technologically capable as I do now. I guess the most annoying part to me is the expectation of producing a multiple of the ou…

I work in growth now, and I definitely resonate with this. Producing content about Kubernetes operator architecture is always going to be hard. But you have to decide whether you alienate the beginne…

I think emotions are an underrated aspect to the "AI changes how we work" thing. Everyone I know extensively uses AI in most parts of their work. Basically everyone has multiplied their outp…

Super interesting that every payment company now buys its own billing system as software monetization is genuinely hard again and complex billing is hard to build from scratch.

Yes, agreed. But it's not a binary. It's not like you can either wrestle with hard engineering problems until an eventual breakthrough or exclusively pretend to be working. Sure, on one extr…

I think this dynamic is not specific to SWE and as old as time. As organizations grow, so does the aspect of work that's more "seeing and being seen", and rightfully so. There's de…

I think centralization (e.g. one player having almost all of the primary supply in the marketplace) is a big issue. The issue of venues/arenas etc. as mentioned, is another. I think an underrated…

Yeah, I think this is part of the issue. Job boards are the go-to interface for HR professionals to list jobs and for applicants to find them. Those are much worse now, and most people aren't the…

> And, from what I can gather, that has been increasingly true for a decade. I think fake job openings, lying on your resume, and applying everywhere have been a thing as long as jobs have. AI may …

I thought this was interesting because there seems to be a market in which: -Job seekers find it harder than ever to get a job -Companies find it harder than ever to find the people they need These tw…

I agree, but sadly it’s kinda like telling someone the best way to have fun at the casino without losing too much. It’s an environment designed for the exact opposite of your best intentions.

I agree with what you’re talking about but I don’t agree this is analogous. I’m talking about a one-time cashing in of trust one already has built up, not saying whatever the algorithm demands to go v…

I think it depends on what exactly happened. If a heritage shoe company doubles prices, moves production overseas while producing worse quality, and then markets explicitly to a fringe political group…

As someone who works in marketing, this is extremely true. Right now, LLMs are causing a lot of one-time cashing in of trust. I've seen this pattern a bunch: 1. Person builds trust on X/Link…

Something I've learned over the years is how much it matters to feel good about the people you work with, and how much intuition matters in interviews and hiring generally (for both sides!). It d…
