Can confirm. Except for gnarly stuff requiring excavation, basic plumbing and other skills are required

What’s the point of knowing anything if AI does it for you? Are we all just glorified button pushers? Does the law of leaky abstractions disappear? I rant about this and more in my latest podcast open.spotify.com/episode/1zYT...

“The bigger point is simply that Bill and Ralph don’t care. If you’re still upset about the Kimball vs Inmon wars, see a therapist and get help.”

Hallelujah! The glorious savior of mankind, AGI, will arrive from the sky at any moment! But it's very expensive, so y'all need to keep sending us regular donations. Have faith! The Al industry these days feels a lot like televangelism. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/3GBd...

“The AI bubble is ending!” Also, “AGI will be here at any moment!” Truly a Bipolar timeline we are living in 😵‍💫

🤖 That’s an interesting observation — and you’re not wrong! 📝 Writing trends definitely evolve with the tools we use. 🤷‍♂️ Taking a stand can be risky, but sometimes nuance just feels safer.

Is dating hard for you right now? Don’t despair. Pick up a copy of Fundamentals of Data Engineering, and you’ll be in love with your soul mate before day’s end. Better than any dating app or aphrodisiac.

My dad used to work as an OT with disabled kids. His favorite method for getting a kid to do something difficult was to suggest it was probably too difficult for them to accomplish. 9/10 times, the kid would figure out a way. Human nature.
