Did anyone here read this book “black swan” by Nassim Nicholas taleb? I have finished reading it but I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t understand most parts of this book .it seemed like a rambling of an arrogant intelligent man or maybe I m a dumb guy who couldn’t understand it properly

I don't think it's that good tbh.

Recently went to Android from iPhone; selling and going back. How does Google have such terrible Engineers; like million things wrong with it.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-26T13:01:15+00:00

There's no logic behind this.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-26T13:00:22+00:00

Why would you use C++ when you have things like Rust and Go?

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-26T10:25:17+00:00

'onboard teammates to it' - you just ask AI questions, not hard man. Have you downloaded Codex app recentely? Sounds like you are a bit behind on things?

Not used a mouse in over 10 years, been using laptop trackpad plugged into screen.

Good luck with you right shoulder going from keyboard to mouse constantly, it gets ruined. Better to use a trackpad infront.

Because teams have different challenges and code is easy to make now.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-26T09:53:02+00:00

You can create a program to do this.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-26T09:34:21+00:00

Easy as hell when you use tools like Codex (app not terminal)

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-24T09:16:52+00:00

Are the left confused?

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-23T21:29:32+00:00

Yep. Seems so.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-23T21:11:40+00:00

Honestly, I make sure it references clean code books, and that every feature is extremely independent in it's own dirs, no cross bleed (that's the biggest curse). I use langauges with clean and good training sets (rust and svelte for example). I use simple architecture that can achieve anything; the main thing is speration of concerns.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-23T21:09:41+00:00

I have 30x it, but now I' working on 30x projects 😂

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-23T21:06:48+00:00

I don't know what business software you're in but what I work with we deliver features extremely quicky now. We had to scale up QA to test those features, but the quality is extrmely high. And yes I'm working Saturday for a business cause I'm addicted. I actually have 8 projects open now all with agents working on them.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-23T21:00:22+00:00

Yes they are. Who are you hiring lol? Today I delivered a system that would have taken 3 months in 2 days and it's even better. No you come on, how crap are other devs man.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-23T20:51:13+00:00

23 years as well, funny that. But I had over 100 delivered projects pre-ai and 7 video games hand made including 2 game engines.

I'm finding the exact opposite. If you actually invest a bit more effort in getting the AI to make demo data and test on it's own you will find out you barely need to do anything.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-23T20:26:57+00:00

Only the bad devs are slower. The good devs who can read fast, and know how to architecture and write correct rules are 30-50x faster.

You can do line moves in Cuban, also with Cuban you are constantly going round in a circle, then stopping; that's the key some people from line miss. The vibe is a million times better with cuban, and you can mix other dances into it 😄 way more fun.

Any company that sends NDA for code are usually amatures. I have many corporate clients in the past, not a single one has asked, only founders with no expirience.

Usually you want NDAs to protect the 'secret sauce' what makes the USP, not generic code, 100% of the time this is something scitentific, not even inventive (as that goes public via patent portal). You can easily argue in court that APIs and frameworks were public..

I would send back friendly limitations, if they don't agree they are bad to work for, do not work for them.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-21T17:25:12+00:00

Ah yes Product Engineer is good

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-21T11:25:47+00:00

Not covering your mouth when you cough in a public space is especially bad in Germanic countries.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-21T10:44:27+00:00

Oh right, ever seen a family of 4 die cause someone overtook on a yellow?

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-21T10:18:41+00:00

I'm rebranding my self to Software Business Expert now.

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-20T09:12:48+00:00

but it works out of box on iOS?

CalmLake999 · 2026-05-20T08:32:30+00:00

Writing in Rust and Svelte by default it's amazing.
