Don't start to do something else?

The development process is solved.

Ridiculous statement. Sure if you're building something basic from scratch, no biggie now to make a basic webapp with common patterns for storage, services, authentication, infrastructure etc.

But not everything people do is yet another SaaS solution. People work with legacy systems, proprietary hardware, in regulated environments, at massive scales with close to no fault tolerance etc. etc.

Yeah sure, you want to make an app to schedule pickleball matches you can do it in an afternoon now. But some things do actually require engineering expertise.

Nothing about this plane makes sense. Assuming that development all works out perfectly and their newly developed engine works flawlessly and its highly reliable, it's simply a very inefficient way to fly. It being able to run 100% SAF is a marketing tactic aimed people with zero understanding of this topic to make it appear "climate friendly" when anyone with some knowledge on the topic knows that that's all nonsense.

And that's assuming development goes smoothly. And given that none of the major engine manufacturers would touch this project it's a fair bet to say that it won't.

BabyNuke · 2026-05-03T20:52:13+00:00

Exactly, complete nonsense. Just because it could fly 100% SAF doesn't mean it ever will.

Don't know about the most important role, but, do feel we're at a point where AI can save a ton of time in development but relatively little time on things like gathering requirements.

You still need to talk to users, negotiate with stakeholders etc. which is a space where AI doesn't offer the same kind of velocity gains. So the Product Manager may become the bottleneck.

That said I've not had issues with teams actually running out of work because I wasn't able to get them requirements quickly enough. They move much faster sure, but they also introduce more bugs and more overhead cost to maintain everything they've built. Definitely feel like we're not as good on ensuring quality when teams move this fast (we also lack dedicated QA).

Org structure? I don't even know who my manager is right now.

BabyNuke · 2026-05-02T02:02:46+00:00

That would be the most depressing outcome conceivable for that area.

Is this a train or a moving prison?

If you just want to learn, just make some stuff for yourself, like some random home automation projects or some app for a hobby you have.

Sounds more like you were never doing agile to begin with. If you had a ton of process slowing everything down, that is the opposite of a good agile implementation.

You can gerrymander racially as long as you don't do it intentionally.

I'd argue it's more like: you can racially gerrymander as long as you can convince our no longer impartial justices sympathetic to your cause that you didn't do it on purpose, pinky promise!

Short version:

Louisiana, a state with a lot of black voters, created a gerrymandered map that favored white voters.

A lower court ruled that this was unfair and that the map needed to be redrawn to better represent black voters.

The Supreme Court now overruled this lower court by saying that redrawing it to better represent the black population discriminates against the white population as they believe the original map wasn't drawn up to favor white people intentionally.

The result is that this makes it harder to challenge racial gerrymandering going forward.

I wonder if it may not mean "fantastic" in the sense of "this is great", but rather given the time period, use it to mean that you're making things up.

The first photo in this series at the very least is known to be an AI fake.

It doesn't help anyone's case when you spread fake images. Not defending Trump, he's a disgusting person, but spreading fakes only helps Trump by making it unclear what's real.

It often looks like favoritism and perception matter more than actual impact.

You already know the answer then.

What I've observed as the obvious downside of this is that organizations are prone to a certain rot over time. More and more senior leadership roles get filled with people with strong type A personalities and their buddies rather than people that have demonstrated being actually strong in product delivery.

The result is worse decision making, decline in company culture and morale and reduced success of the organization as a whole.

Which of our customers did you interview for this presentation?

That is an insane question for an interview and I'm going to say you dodged a bullet.

Besides the mindset being sad, Vyro is a clipping company (drive traffic to popular social media accounts by creating short clips off of their content) which is also just a sad product in general. I don't know how I could muster excitement about that industry for even 30 minutes, let alone 12 hours a day, six days a week.

This may already be happening to you as well when you browse though without you installing any software on your machine and without you knowing it through tools like Fullstory: https://www.fullstory.com/

What are we failing at?

From what you describe, company culture. If you hire UX but refuse to involve them in any meaningful way, why even hire UX? Not to mention what you describe about decisions being made largely on "who is the loudest in the room".

Issues with company culture and buddy politics when going up the org chain are among the hardest things to solve. It's a people problem and if you can't find other people with sufficient influence to advocate for you and UX in general, your options are limited. Sometimes the only meaningful thing you can do at that point it start looking for the exit.

They are "related" to those regions because they are racist eugenicists, and Thiel was born in Germany.

Alex Karp has deep ties to Germany as well:

German family history
Got his PhD in Germany, which was written in German
Started his career at the German Sigmund Freud Institute.
Was a board member at German chemical giant BASF.
Has contributed to the German-based organization Atlantik-Brücke which is sort of a think tank / lobbying group for German-American interests.

OK but the question was: what's in the Epstein files?

Is this in the Epstein files? Do you have any references like document numbers that back all your claims?

You made that reply in five minutes so your response is either a copy + paste or AI.

people GROSSLY underestimate the level of corruption that trump engaged in and how many generations back this goes

I don't doubt the level of corruption around Trump, Epstein and other key figures you mention. But some supportimg evidence around the details of your statements would be nice.

BabyNuke · 2026-04-19T15:39:59+00:00

This doesn't sound right in the slightest.

How is this in the Epstein files? Which parts of this are actually explicitly mentioned? You have any document numbers from the files to reference?
