John Kennedy @johnkennedy.info · 10/12/2024This is not surprising. Being able to hire talented staff below market and lock them into your company for 5+ years is a competitive advantage.

John Kennedy @johnkennedy.info · 21/11/2024Love this meta-work. It’s a sign of a very healthy developer eco-system. This is what happens when open platforms and protocols are getting traction. 061
John Kennedy @johnkennedy.info · 20/11/2024I need AWS to get on @bsky.app so I can complain to them about the AWS SAM linter... good vibes are great and all, but naming and shaming corporates on socials for better support is critical to our post-industrial society! 120

John Kennedy @johnkennedy.info · 26/10/2024If wafer-scale Memristors become viable, we could have on-device LLMs with no idle power requirement that meaningfully contain the sum of human knowledge.

John Kennedy @johnkennedy.info · 12/04/2023I’ve noticed, in myself, a modern kind of sadness twinge when a friend goes Spotless Mind on their timeline. It might start by seeing someone new on their insta, then, wait what? A whole part of their social memory has been cleansed. Having far-flung friends means lots of important vignettes, lost. 010
