I interviewed for a growth position at Revolut a couple of years ago. They asked if I had questions for them, I said yes. The HR person sighed deeply and said “so you’ve heard about us,” and that was a big enough 🚩 for me to decline the next interview.

“There’s a new Mr. Beast book.” You bolt awake in your workshop in Mainz. It’s 1450. You’re Johannes Gutenberg, and you’ve changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Your printing press must burn.

Got a Syracuse sweatshirt (L) that fit like an (M) which was fine but the neck was XXXXL. Then got two hats of the same style that fit wildly differently. Gave up after that.

I don't think you should worry about sounding like AI when you write. I don't think you should worry about AI, period, especially with that molotov cocktail just sitting in your hand. The lighter clicks. The data center beckons. A soft summer breeze tousles your hair as if to say: Attaboy.

As a small business owner that’s how it feels to read contact form submissions — just hoping for one real person with a question or thought that isn’t asking me to invest in crypto or SEO schemes
