Old CTO-friend.. "Quietly, a majority of senior engineers still resist AI coding, even in AI co's, claiming it doesn't work. It's because AI coding is closer to the messyness of managing a human than writing code, and most of them were never good at managing humans either." 😜

Why isn’t there a startup that teaches programming to kids that approaches it more like liberal arts than math? Nobody loves programming because they did a paint-by-numbers exercise correctly. I want programming for my kids that encourages the right brain as much as the left.

Wait. There were no violent protests at Tufts, no occupations of halls, even. So my, your kid, can now get disappeared from the college they attend if they are pro Palestinian? Or any other speech the party in power doesn't like? No due process before they are just flown to

Replying to @TheBlackHorse65
This sounds like someone who came with an agenda mapped to their politics and applies it to everything they see in life rather than actually evaluating the world the way it is and doing the opposite. Conquering is a legit strategy in every Civ. Over time they made the game more

I decided after the .com bubble burst that being in San Francisco didn’t matter as much anymore. It was one of the worst mistakes of my professional life to not be in that city during the following five years of the tech world rebuilding.

1/ I was bearish on crypto + games for years. I was wrong, and have been chatting with my game dev friends about why for a few months. Welcome to the great upside down of game dev, it's fascinating. 👇 #thread

When a founder says “I’m building a metaverse” I literally don’t know what that means. That’s from someone who’s spent his life in MMOs, Second Life, Discord, VRChat, Runescape, BBSes, Minecraft, and MUDs. It is not clarifying until you talk about what people are there to do.

Tried to capture today in the East Bay as accurately as possible. Not going to lie, the sci-fi obsessed teenager inside me was pretty excited. The adult is pretty alarmed.

You have one guess on what Facebook charged developers like Zynga on their own app store. 🙄

Annual reminder. Holidays are often when your best team members are re-evaluating their lives, what they want to do, where the want to spend their time. Are you doing the same for them?

Doing a reference check on a VC, and chatting to a founder they worked with years ago. Reminded of that proverb… “the tree remembers what the axe forgets”

To one person this is "overengineered" - but what does 100% knowing your bike is safe & will have storage do to your behavior? There's a big difference between efficiency thinking and innovation thinking, and in startups we conflate the two a lot.
