there are many more ways to be wrong than there are to be right

Not hiring morons also reduces diversity in thinking
flappyeagle··on Windsurf employee #2: I was given a payout of only 1% what my shares where worth
The thing they don’t tell you about joining startups is: the integrity of the founders matters more than anything else.

If you’re not a good judge of people you should work somewhere that pays cash

flappyeagle··on Tough news for our UK users
And yet uber and Airbnb and polymarket and…
flappyeagle··on OpenAI claims gold-medal performance at IMO 2025

I asked o3 about bjorks latest releases and news — it did a great job.
flappyeagle··on As an experienced LLM user, I don't use generative LLMs often
Do you have links to any resources for using LLM for writing?
flappyeagle··on Over half of UK businesses who replaced workers with AI regret their decision
So about half don’t regret?
flappyeagle··on Two publishers and three authors fail to understand what "vibe coding" means
Why is this bad? Is the idea bad?
flappyeagle··on "AI-first" is the new Return To Office
Why? It’s the same thing DHH says. He’s never going to have a better idea than rails and basecamp. Tobi is the same with Shopify
flappyeagle··on "AI-first" is the new Return To Office
Shrug? I disagree strongly. If he was 100% right I would just double the estimate of every project and build in the assumption of a pivot
flappyeagle··on "AI-first" is the new Return To Office
What if he’s right more than 50% of the time?
flappyeagle··on "AI-first" is the new Return To Office
Anil is a smart guy so if this is his best set of arguments then I’m afraid Tobi is right.

Every advancement in tech I’ve used in my lifetime was at first deployed top-down

Smartphone (blackberries), Personal computers, Version control (CVS), PowerPoint

The personal adoption FOLLOWED

flappyeagle··on Economists don't know what's going on
The economy gave you your entire existence. You’re not subsistence farming, raising your own sheep, spinning your own yarn.

You’re not bartering potatoes for a dowry. Seriously man get over yourself

*losing
flappyeagle··on Temu pulls its U.S. Google Shopping ads
Conclusion is wrong here. There’s plenty of bid for the ad inventory. Google and meta are extremely resilient to this kind of thing
flappyeagle··on AI 2027
Because they are not the same in any way. It’s not a bunch of junior academics, it’s literally including someone who worked at OpenAI
flappyeagle··on Bored of It
Are you being obtuse on purpose?
flappyeagle··on AI 2027
c'mon man, you don't believe that, let's have a little less disingenuousness on the internet
flappyeagle··on Show HN: Cloud-Ready Postgres MCP Server
the correct answer is "the solution is unknown"
flappyeagle··on Show HN: Cloud-Ready Postgres MCP Server
It will get you the correct answer, not a solution. Once again it’s a terrible example, I don’t know why you used it. It’s certainly not a gotcha
flappyeagle··on Show HN: Cloud-Ready Postgres MCP Server
My guy, every LLM has read Wikipedia
flappyeagle··on Show HN: Cloud-Ready Postgres MCP Server
No. What a bizarre example to choose. This is so easy to demonstrate. They will all come back with the exact same correct answer
flappyeagle··on The Logic of Stupid Poor People (2013)
Outside of industry no one has ever gotten a job because they spent 2k on a bag instead of 200$
flappyeagle··on The Logic of Stupid Poor People (2013)
$200-300 gets you a lot of bag.
flappyeagle··on The Logic of Stupid Poor People (2013)
It sounds like you haven’t been a manager. Do you care what bag your manager has when she has a human oriented interaction with you?
flappyeagle··on The Logic of Stupid Poor People (2013)
I promise you I know more about handbag marketing than you.

No one can tell unless you have a very specific recognizable model. If you carry a plain black or brown bag it all looks the same.
