I mentioned my company (lettuce.co) in a previous thread. If you want to hear more, let me know.
And if not, I'll not pester you further.

I work remotely because I moved to a beautiful small town so I could have dogs. But also, I work remotely because I know the value of my labor... and so does my employer.

FWIW, we're leaning into DuckDB and that really does make a difference in that for most usages, it's possible to stitch together data from different sources very easily and ingestion from common sources can be done really nicely without using third-party tools.

We use one psuedo monorepo per architecture layer (and language). It mostly works but our scale is small.
I call them multirepos?

Maybe 15 years ago, while in rather good shape, I played paintball for a friend's bachelor party. The crouching and squatting were almost as bad as close rang shots.

I reviewed a few job candidates this week and half of them sent videos. On the one hand, these certainly convey more than a resume tailored to an HR department's opaque criteria. On the other hand, I'm very good at reading text quickly and not so much with video.

Our older dog is named Harvey. We frequently substitute his name into a certain alliterative poem...

It's awful. The NBA should want the best players to play in the playoffs. They need to reduce the number of games.

It's all disingenuous. Once someone's decided to put higher meaning into a technology, they aren't operating from a position that accepts reason.

One of ours (husky, thankfully) chased after a smell while we were visiting the mountains (and three feet of snow) and wasn't recovered for 24 hours.
We love her so much.

Post-human is rich tecnhoidiot wishful thinking.
Post-apocalypic is many things, including the most likely consequence of said idiots have enough power to pursue their wishes.

My own experience is a) lots of talking about AI, b) little real impact, c) plenty of anxiety.
My prediction: Jevons paradox.
Unit costs go down slightly, demand goes up. Some companies try/fail to cut costs, but repeat the same errors as with outsourcing.
Consultants make money.

It's nice when all the boring stuff works. I feel that way about pedantic and typing. Though I'd love to see higher order types some day.
