Big Tech leadership, 2025

Under other circumstances I would have been excited to learn that "contemnor" is a word.

Holy fuck. Any company that thinks they're going to avoid the need to fight -- or to utterly debase themselves -- is not dealing with reality.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho *cared* that his country was suffering. He eagerly sought intelligent advice and let it change his mind. He was held to account by a vigorous legislature. For us, today, Idiocracy might as well be The West Wing.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

paul graham has finally achieved what most thought impossible: he's written a post so bad that the hacker news comments are actually better than it

Seems like if the Intel board was unhappy with the effects of Pat Gelsinger's work they should have rolled him back instead of letting him retire.

Probably(?) the most valuable slide from my entire CS education "Debugging is resolving a clash between stories": what you *thought* would happen vs. what is *actually* happening
