Great news everyone! I finally talk about AI hype. Someone finally mentioned LLMs one time too many, and the reckoning is upon us:https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fucking-piledrive-you-if-you-mention-ai-again/

FIAT currency is worthless and you should all buy my cryptocurrency. You can tell it's useful because it's worth so much FIAT currency. ♾️

I'm currently watching someone use story points as time estimates (1 point = 1 day), but ALSO using the heuristic that 5 points is too much (which is for when story points represent complexity), so now no one is ever allowed to work on one thing for five days.💀 I move ever closer to my villain arc.

@ZachWeinersmith Absolutely correct. Am Malaysian, durian is horrific, and I will never take that back, even when the secret police come for me. Lychee is possibly the GOAT.

Iris Meredith is a reader that reached out months ago about how job negotiations mysteriously break down the moment employers realize she is trans.She's now choosing violence, has started a consultancy that does software/DEI work, and just dropped this bomb that will probably get her banned from LinkedIn.https://deadsimpletech.com/blog/dei_original_sinI suspect many here will appreciate it or find it thought-provoking. I've never had a trans colleague despite all my employers paying lip service 24/7.

@cchelberg It may have been provoked by a conversation we had, around the idea that corporate culture venerates the trans community to incredible heights, but frequently have no friends with that identity and they rarely, if ever, hire them.My consultancy is 1/6th trans by a selection algorithm of "who do I like playing board games with that can sell SaaS", which means that corporations are less inclusive than me literally not even trying.

@Dan It's very hard, but we do our best to support her! I think prior to getting onto Mastodon + meeting Iris, I really didn't appreciate these things as much as I could have. Being brown in Australia comes with minor issues, but it's still easy to be well-paid (in a cog-in-the-machine don't-let-them-give-white-people-orders sort of way). Whereas trans people get hate all the time when I stumble into conversations amongst the general population.

I went on a podcast yesterday called "1984 Today", whose host was one of the most well-read, articulate, radio-voiced people I've ever spoken to. Give it a huge recommend.My episode isn't even up yet, that's how much I liked the experience. Just giving it a recommendation.The conversation was so good that it finally helped me decide what the WIP book is going to be about.

My close friend @iris_meredith published this on corporate norms around "Who is allowed to know things" at companies. Tech debt isn't real unless someone in power affirms it in a PowerPoint.https://deadsimpletech.com/blog/epistemologyI love it and have made the same point. On Hackernews, it was accused of being "extreme left wing content" and the author is trying to "seed violent ideas into the minds of mentally unstable people".Read it, and if you liked it, please send Iris some positive vibes.

Great news everyone! I saw code so terrible yesterday that I quit my job on the spot, for realsies. Enjoy what should be the last post about me gazing directly into corporate-hell:https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/get-me-out-of-data-hell/Future posts will be about the dystopian hellscape that I conjure into being at my own business.

Someone just told me I'm "not the second coming of data engineering Jesus just because I wrote code once and got popular for swearing a lot in a blog".How do I effectively rebrand as data engineering Jesus to irritate one specific person

I only realized today that Curtis Yarvin is the idiot I formerly knew as Mencius Moldbug.I can't believe tech oligarchs are taking cues from a dude that named himself Mencius Moldbug. This dumb son of a bitch is out here giving himself the most Wormtongue/Peter Pettigrew-ass name and they're like "Ah yes, thank you for your wise counsel, my trusted vizier"
