Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over
Sam Altman argued it was "already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took" for coders to write software.

YES, they most certainly are. Getting slammed with 5-10 MRs per day of slop code from AI pilled non-engineers is a PITA. Are AI agents actually slowing us down? open.substack.com/pub/pragmati...

Are AI agents actually slowing us down?
As more software engineers use AI agents daily, there’s also more sloppy software, outages, quality issues, and even a slowdown in shipping velocity. What’s happening, and how do we solve it?

Chuck the cuck: watching Americans getting f'd by Trump and Republicans must be fun for Chuck and the 8 traitorous Dem Senators. It must be nice to have no spine, no conscience, and no soul.

Trump and Co are about to turn the US into a steaming pile of dog shit, and fittingly, Patone has given us a fancy color that is basically "shit brown". Welcome to 'Merica! 🤦‍♂️

How can a company worth $3.4 trillion have utterly incompetent customer service reps? Does Tim Cook hate his employees as much as Jeff Bezos hates his? Apple cares more about the Benjamins than its customers and employees.

@cferdinandi.bsky.social I loved this from your newsletter: You don’t have “Adult ADHD.” You have ADHD. You’ve always had ADHD. You always will have ADHD. The biggest insight from getting diagnosed: yes, I DID want to run around the classroom as a kid. Yes I DID do a lot of stupid stuff as a teen!

Trump Picks RFK Jr. to Be Head of Health and Human Services Dept.
Whether the Senate would confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic who has unorthodox views about medicine, is an open question.

I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have: - Good pay - Good culture - Good growth opportunities If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.

I watched a video last night about people on Twitter and TikTok whining about how they made a mistake by voting for Trump. Many, many people have found themselves disowned by family members. And Jesse Watters from Fox said his MOTHER told him he couldn’t come to her house for Thanksgiving!! 🤣🤣

A little historical context: one of the best Presidents of the last 50 years, Jimmy Carter, was slaughtered at the polls by inflation and the Iranian hostage crisis, neither of which he caused nor made worse. Voters will blame the current President for the economy, which is almost never his fault.

Men in the US, please do every woman you know a huge favor. Quit insisting that you know best what they should do with their bodies. You don't. End of story. Most of you don't have the slightest idea how a woman's body works. You get uncomfortable when you hear "period", for Christ's sake!

Bill Gates said something like this in the 90's: "after the first billion, it just doesn't matter". He was 100% right! So.... let's try something radical. Any company with over $1 billion in valuation has to distribute a significant share in the company to each employee every year.
