tayo42··on Shopify replaced Redis with MySQL for inventory reservations–and it scaled
The blog probably was.shopify was pretty early and publicly all in on using AI for everything
tayo42··on “Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers
You've really seen a web software product die because of performance issues?
tayo42··on LinkedIn Feed Blocker
So many jobs have a LinkedIn page as a required field
tayo42··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
I've been curious about leaving software but it really feels impossible. Theresa no careers that you can learn on the job and you need to go back for another 4year degree to maybe get into the entry level job,no guarantee though.
tayo42··on The AI Billboards Are Killing SF
What if we got a proposition that said we have to take them all down and not pay for lost revenue?
tayo42··on How to Make a Nintendo 64 Game in 2026
It's interesting people have this perspective, there are some Numbers that support it. But there endless layoffs, studios closing and it's impossible to get a game dev related job at the moment.
tayo42··on I'll be stepping back from leading product for X
What unorthodox thoughts get filtered out by downvotes?
tayo42··on Online Friends Are Real Friends
I am the complete opposite. I like my pseudo-anonymity (I figured with enough effort some one could figure out who I am) and the freedom to be an idiot or have a bad day online that comes with that.
tayo42··on Fed's Kashkari says 'now is the time to start slowly moving' rates up
Houses were cheap even with inflation though
tayo42··on The sale of Electronic Arts has been finalized
If you havent heard of people playing ea sports games since ps1 you're in a bubble.
tayo42··on That time when I failed the Microsoft interview
> I’m afraid I’ll never know!

The rejection was so generic and there's so much random bs that goes on it could be anything that lead to that result.

tayo42··on Karpathy’s Pelican
The 3d model generators that exist aren't that good, and it would need to make a model that can be animated and and then rig it. I don't think there's a point in tying because the small tasks can't be done yet.

1/3

I did get pip, but it's a story about trying to rescue the moon from a lake and the raccoon lives on moonberry lane

What's pip from?

tayo42··on Karpathy’s Pelican
People don't memorize anything like that.thats why art is done with reference images
tayo42··on How to Exist
After having kids content like this is so unrelatable. When I finally have my own time, I'm going to do something fun, not worry about existential stuff lol.

Before kids I was on and off into meditation,my place in the world, being calm or w/e.

tayo42··on The End of an Era
There would be some cases where the author/prompter would want to show off how good it is. It would even be beneficial for the AI companies
tayo42··on AI Firms Are Buying Up Old Books, Then Scanning and Destroying Them
I thought that title was misleading. They have to cut the book up to scan it. The way it reads makes it seem like they scan it then destroy it afterwards.
tayo42··on The lost civic life of movie rental stores
Where do you all live?

I guess California is pretty nice and I don't appreciate this all enough lol

tayo42··on The Cold Email
I feel like companies that are genuinely interesting are pretty rare.

Then you'll still get two rounds of leet code and system design.

tayo42··on [dead]
What were the critical flaws. And would you have not written them yourself?
tayo42··on The New AI Superpowers: Focus and Followthrough
Your job would be so much harder without those supposedly complex tools. Most of those listed help solve issues with multiple environments. What simple solution is there to that.
tayo42··on The New AI Superpowers: Focus and Followthrough
> they’re also pushing for org-level mandates to require everyone else to use their solution.

That's how you get promotions when you don't do anything valuable lol ok done with the cynicism

tayo42··on Did they ghost you?
There's no consistent advice for anything related to interviewing or getting jobs.its a mess
tayo42··on Did they ghost you?
Just send a follow up email after a few days asking for a timeline.
tayo42··on The whole premise of checking for human writing is daft
I think this ignores that we're being spammed with written content.

The craft of writing is part of the interesting part. The words you choose are important,same as brush strokes in a painting. Offloading the act of writing to llms takes away that whole part.

tayo42··on Patreon laying off 20% of staff
It says senior engineer almost 8 months right in that article
tayo42··on Ten Steps Towards Happiness (2015)
We made a major improvement onethis with remote work then it was decided that isn't allowed and we do "hybrid"

That can already happen with screenshots
tayo42··on I Stopped “Creating Content”
Oh I see, you'd think they'd know better then to use jargon publicly...
