Old boss once put a sign in my office that said, “Go away or I’ll replace you with an efficient script.” Today I kinda did that to a few developers and that so many don’t want to learn makes me sad.

I’ve been watching the oracle part of the AI bubble since they bought a slew of Nvidia chips in 2021. They’ve won a few and lost a few- today was a big loss laying off 4000 individuals. This one hurts…:(

Coming up on stopped traffic….guy riding my arse, so I immediately take my foot off the accelerator and come to a stop, so he almost hits me. He’s ticked, screeches into the next lane, yelling at me and I just rock out while flipping him off in my car. Next driver goes by & gives me the thumbs up.

Yo, second skin bandages, you should warn folks that the bandages will turn into a slimy rollup 🐛 if you wear them into the shower or bath. This is not multi-day use if you like hygiene and if they fall off in the bath- terrifying..:)
