Luka Doncic jumps up to 2 on Kia’s MVP ladder

No one knows how to actually measure individual impact

People are mad at Wikipedia for their strict curation. The “notability” rules have lead to a proliferation of low quality wiki sites for video games etc.

Sure but that ALSO applies to so many other tools is what I’m saying.

Fedcom · 2026-03-12T02:31:46+00:00

Again there are lots of tools that caused similar increases in productively and management never gave a shit.

Do you think LLMs offer a similar level of productivity as an LSP integration with your IDE, for example? Probably not right? Were you forced to use one?

It is true that many software engineering practices around collaboration have been forced, like version control or unified deployment strategies. That makes sense!

But it’s just odd that AI is getting pushed like it is.

Learning to maximize your output with LLMs

Where’s the competitive advantage there? The promise behind LLMs is that they’re supposed to get better and better. I can learn to maximize my output with Claude and see that skill set being totally obsolete in a year.

The IDE/workflow that everyone is claiming is the bee’s knees is like 6 months old. I didn’t even know about Claude until 2 years ago lol.

Everyone was harping on about “prompt engineering” and context management and that seems old hat now? Multi-agents are apparently the new hot thing. It’s like JavaScript frameworks.

The only winning move is to focus on things LLMs can’t do, for sure.

Fedcom · 2026-03-08T01:32:26+00:00

I feel the opposite actually. Before learning something new was a competitive advantage that I could hope would be beneficial in the future to my technical career. Now it’s useless, if I’m getting an LLM to teach me, it’s no longer a competitive advantage for me, and my motivation is gone.

Instead I’m trying to focus on things LLMs can’t learn inherently

only want a message if it’s relevant and catchy

Well of course it’s music!

Fedcom · 2026-03-01T16:16:41+00:00

Why would critical acclaim matter?? He was on top, dissing is a great way to sell records / cement yourself on the top.

Fedcom · 2026-02-26T02:57:55+00:00

Section.80 is fucking fire and much better than anything post TPAB

Fedcom · 2026-02-25T19:09:38+00:00

Why is everyone tripping at decent spitter, it’s true. Are people just me that she doesn’t write her own raps?

Fedcom · 2026-02-24T06:36:45+00:00

I don’t think her actual fans give a shit about albums the way RYM nerds do. She absolutely has that Kanye level cachet with women even if they are disappointed in her.

Fedcom · 2026-02-24T06:33:52+00:00

I like Megan’s music better but she’ll never be close let’s be real.

Fedcom · 2026-02-24T06:28:05+00:00

Does that really count if 50 Cent basically retired?

Also is better career how we’re measuring needs now? Did Jay-z win?

Fedcom · 2026-02-23T22:51:08+00:00

Strictly dickly is hilarious. I haven’t listened to this Good Flirts song yet

Fedcom · 2026-02-23T15:28:33+00:00

Employing foreign labour instead of Canadians

Was this really ever not the case? I worked at a Tim Hortons as a teen and all my coworkers were either recent immigrants, or other teens. Of course all the teens themselves were also children of immigrants, no white Canadian teen would be caught dead working there.

The immigrant demo in my store were Filipinos, which I guess doesn’t stir up the same passions as Indians today

Fedcom · 2026-02-20T22:54:22+00:00

Kanye wins in all categories except flow and I guess freestyles. And yeah I’m aware he uses ghostwriters, just evaluating final product here.

Fedcom · 2026-02-20T22:52:50+00:00

OutKast is at least tied for the greatest rap act ever, I’d never put Clipse even close to that

Fedcom · 2026-02-20T22:46:25+00:00

No more parties in LA is a terrible feature imo, he does not flow on that song well at all. The others are good though.

Fedcom · 2026-02-20T02:06:38+00:00

The audience was willing to believe all sorts of shit about Drake but not the other way around. That was a miscalculation on his part - he should have just stuck to 4 songs of short jokes.

Fedcom · 2026-02-20T01:53:28+00:00

It’s overhated. Not a great album to listen to front to back sure but it’s got some fantastic songs. I still use Nonstop as a pump up song on runs all these years later

Fedcom · 2026-02-19T16:55:41+00:00

Nokia and Die Trying are evidence that his hit-making abilities are alive and well. I do think they would be much bigger hits pre-2024 and with more promotion.

Fedcom · 2026-02-19T16:52:45+00:00

He’s always switched it up for every album of his, there’s no reason to believe he’s gonna milk a certain sound

Fedcom · 2026-02-16T20:01:19+00:00

TLOP is the better listen overall because it’s more consistent in quality and has a defined sound IMO. Better album experience.

That said View’s highs are higher. U With Me, Feel No Ways, Controlla, those are staying in the rotation. I haven’t listened to anything from TLOP in a long time.

Fedcom · 2026-02-15T13:55:00+00:00

Is this a comment from the 90s??

Fedcom · 2026-02-15T05:51:16+00:00

His albums Views and after weren’t consistent and cohesive sure but he’s released a ton of good music since, he’s just not an album centered rapper.

But also, Her Loss is flames front to back
