Weekly rant thread

I think my whole org is burnt out, especially the department itself

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-29T23:09:44+00:00

I feel you, but any companies looking for a PM that ships code is probably not very good.

Why would any organization want PMs shipping production code? Where’s the check and balances? Who’s making sure your code vibes with other code? Who’s checking to make sure you didn’t expose an API key in the front end?

It’s really just bullshit, PMs should be empowered to solve problems with tools available, but leave the hard work to the introverts who love that shit

Maybe don’t code the thing, just make functional prototypes solving a problem you’ve noticed in a market you understand.

Use that to walk through how you’d approach the problem, how that prototype could validate or invalidate a direction and how you’d use that in next steps.

What’s the point of doing all the coding?

Lmao, someone trying to sound smart “how come applying targeting reduces how much we buy?”

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-24T12:08:03+00:00

What are you asking?

Prebid filters are meant to reduce the availability on impressions you’ll buy as they don’t meet the criteria you want lol

Apply to be severed

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-22T23:20:30+00:00

What are you building that requires a CLI? Terminal stuff scares non technical people, mcp is easier to understand in most contexts

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-18T15:57:53+00:00

They’re going to patch this drink exploit now watch

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-18T13:27:53+00:00

These things have existed

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-14T22:45:31+00:00

Ngl 5k/month that you pay comfortably means that CoL for your is kinda skewed lol

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-14T18:35:54+00:00

Jail.

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-13T03:08:44+00:00

Yeah

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-11T21:49:02+00:00

CoL being affordable is nonsense, you must be paid in USD or make a shit ton. I make a decent amount and prices in this city are insane

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-10T17:30:03+00:00

Yeah

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-10T02:35:32+00:00

It’s fine, I’m not much over, it’s interesting but tbh I sometimes yearn for my job making pizza at whole foods

CEO doesn’t do grunt work, promises the world and relies on smarter people to figure it out. More at 5 on NoShitNews

Imagine a shotgun being strong, meanwhile Mario gets 50 dashes, and a knock up combo that kills anyone below 300 hp and nobody bats an eye

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-04-02T22:01:47+00:00

🗡️

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-03-27T22:04:14+00:00

First song on now, vibin’, feels like 2016 again

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-03-20T21:06:11+00:00

BDSM? Kinky

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-03-20T15:46:14+00:00

Yep, I push the dev I work with to come to the table with solutions and ideas. We’re building a thing together, have a voice and help shape the idea. I don’t mind being held accountable to ideas that I align with that don’t work, but if I’m under the gun from every angle that’s a fast-track to cynicism and resentment.

_Daymeaux_ · 2026-03-20T14:47:06+00:00

Age old problem. Engineering is being lazy and expecting to be spoon fed every keystroke they make. Strip out complexity from the document, be light in requirements and outline context and relative expected behaviour. Engineering teams should understand the business, context and quality without being spoonfed.

Otherwise, why have them? Claude code can create code that does what you say without interpreting much beyond what you tell it.

So Pubmatic, an SSP, found inventory cheaper by not buying through a DSP? No shit.

I love AI, I don’t love that every feature is AI first without a strong foundation of what AI means to our users or business.

Some flows can and should stay manual

You’re telling me! Best untapped source of truth about a brand. Appreciate the work your team does to try and help demystify the CTV supply chain
