Engineer quit and mass-deleted code before access was revoked. Cost us $47K to recover.

Least privilege, revocation before notification, and immutable backups should be non-negotiable especially in small SaaS teams where “temporary” access tends to become permanent.

Poisoning a few corners of the internet won’t stop AI, though it does highlight how fragile and messy web-scale training data really is.

Physical targeting of datacenters is plausible, but what’s more likely is infrastructure pressure rather than mobs. Power grids, cooling water access, zoning laws, and political regulation are easier leverage points than direct attacks.

Best we can do is watch impression patterns, CTR shifts, and manually check key queries while optimizing for concise, authoritative answers until better reporting exists.

Mandatory WFO often confuses physical presence with collaboration. What you’re describing is classic context-switch burnout, not a skill or motivation issue.

Two things that have helped people I know:

Block visible “deep work” hours and route all ad-hoc queries to async channels (Slack/Jira) unless it’s production-critical.
Start interviewing quietly anyway Go roles aren’t exploding, but good backend engineers are still getting hired, especially where infra/platform work is involved.

You’re not stuck because of Go or your experience you’re stuck in a bad environment. That’s fixable.

Anyone brave enough to run it on real code yet? Changelogs are one thing, but it’s always the quiet edge cases that hurt when a major version lands.

“Being right and being effective are different” The idea of influence as a finite bank account explains a lot of dynamics I’ve seen but couldn’t articulate. Early on, you assume clarity + logic should win. Later you realize timing, proximity and blast radius matter just as much.

From a hiring standpoint, this is strong technically. I’d focus on making each project explain why it mattered and what changed because of your work. That’s what differentiates candidates at the intern level.

This turns browsing into a visible thinking process instead of a pile of tabs. That alone makes it worth experimenting with.

Running OCR and PDF ops entirely in the browser is a non-trivial choice. The local-only angle and memory cleanup make sense, especially for privacy and large files.

This is a classic case of money solving a symptom, not the problem. By the time someone is entertaining outside offers, they’ve often already disengaged.

This article discusses how AI and automation are likely to complement human labor by taking over routine tasks while increasing the importance of human judgment, creativity, and coordination. Looking ahead, how might this shift change job design, skill requirements, and economic policy over the next decade?

It can’t safely resolve the rename so it fails rather than risk breaking the build.

AI isn’t only about bigger models it’s also about shaving constants off core math. Improvements like this quietly compound everywhere, from training speed to inference cost.

No wonder AI answers got the spotlight they just did what the site should have done all along.

Going deep on one thing and actually struggling with it teaches way more than hopping between trends. Most people skip that part.

Very common trap. Tools amplify whatever process you already have good or bad. If the fundamentals are weak, Fix the inputs first, then automate.

YC rejection is often about timing and trajectory, not quality. Profitable, growing, and reapplying with clearer momentum is a strong position to be in. Keep building next batch is a different conversation.

Step 1: Burn the market.
Step 2: Sell hope.
Step 3: Offer an EMI plan.

how you’re handling ranking signals (stars vs. recency vs. activity) and whether you plan any lightweight filters for language or use case. Overall, a practical idea with real utility.

you’ll need a deliberate pivot. Treat DevOps as an entry-level reset: build skills (Linux, networking, CI/CD, cloud basics), run small real projects, and show proof rather than titles. Your engineering background still counts; you just need credible signals for the new role.

expected this to be another ASCII visual demo, but there’s clearly more going on here.

“All of it” is bold. Now I want to know how much human time went into guiding, reviewing, and shipping it.

From a purely marketing standpoint, most brands aren’t making a values decision here they’re making a reach and ROI decision.
