To say dating apps are ruining my life is too extreme - it only ruins a couple days each week

God was once proud of her system, but that was before hell unionized and heaven had its share of corruption
So Netflix has a somewhat famous internal tool called Chaos Monkey that just sort of autonomously fucks with the Netflix infrastructure, which is fun. But it's crazy they haven't produced a show by the same name.
I guess the job search / dating comparison goes pretty far but breaks down a little when you think about how it's easier to get hired at a new job if you already have a current job
Re: no light without darkness etc., maybe someone like Andrew Tate is necessary evil. Like, on a level of pure philosophical ease, we are lucky to have such a clear embodiment of hate, stupidity, and vanity. Like, in the morality of children's shows where you need a bad guy, look no farther. Hate crimes aside, we're lucky that it's so simple - it could be more complicated.
I WEAR THE PANTS IN THIS RELATIONSHIP I say to myself as I pack my clothes for a trip. I'm not wrong.
I've been operating from this perspective for a bit but want to write it out - code debt is not something to be avoided. You WANT code debt. There are some ways the metaphor works well, but a dangerous way it doesn't. Code debt is really cheap debt because baked in is the reality that a lot of code you write is going to be rewritten or thrown away anyways, so a lot of POTENTIAL debt is debt you never end up having to "pay back".
If hacker names had unnecessary diacritics instead of l33t chararacters mine would be "filénamé" and I would write "my name is filénamé you made me drop my croissant prepare to die"
See if I ever start a tech company I'll have an actual vesting cliff. At least 12 pitches, probably ranging from 5.8's to at least one 5.12. As you get to know the team more on group climbing outings and your skills improve, you'll get closer to your equity. I think other parts of the vesting schedule could include canyoneering, maybe an ultra, or possibly some kind of walkabout experience.
Saw a compelling bit once about how frustrating it would be to "be" an LLM if they WERE conscious (they are not). Reminded me of the College Humor skit, Google was just one office worker.
However, assuming one entity experienced all LLM questions, there would be sparks of epiphanous joy. Buried in the murk of email revisions, emotional venting and code review, occasionally true insight into the human soul and truly meaningful questions would appear.
