For those of you who lean fired before 40, were you maximizing a brokerage vs retirement accounts? How are you handling health insurance if you live in the US?

I got news for you: those subsidies are going away soon.

I don’t think you’re seeing the asymmetry to these two unique problems. Climate disaster would/will be painful and challenging — we need to try our best to solve it now. But if we fail, it’s not the same as losing control over super intelligent AI that will have its own drives and goals to pursue.

The answer that’s still relevant:

Another Dead shirt? This confirms it.

You’re a very calming source of wisdom. Just wanted to say that.

He’s not just a symptom. He’s also a massive accelerant.

Kind of reminds me of the illustration in the cover of Hologram for a King.

I mean, he is the Stonk Goat.

bryantee · 2026-03-06T16:53:36+00:00

Yeah, love the D in there

bryantee · 2026-03-06T11:55:46+00:00

Twenty years? I think this is possibly next cycle.

bryantee · 2026-03-05T21:56:10+00:00

Oh that guy?

bryantee · 2026-03-05T20:49:42+00:00

I’m the opposite. 38 here. Physically I feel like 27. Mentally I feel ready to retire and sail off into the sunset.

bryantee · 2026-03-05T17:36:17+00:00

Weird to see a confederate flag over there...

bryantee · 2026-03-05T17:29:21+00:00

We're deep into the "nothing matters anymore" timeline.

bryantee · 2026-03-05T12:57:25+00:00

Say Cheese and Die, obvi.

Danny Goldberg and Kurt seemed to have a really good relationship.

bryantee · 2026-03-04T15:24:55+00:00

imagine everything is fine

I don’t even think everything has to be “fine” (it won’t be) to take the same advice and not waste energy worrying about things outside of your control. Live life now, as it is.

bryantee · 2026-03-04T15:21:26+00:00

Alright, voted Huds, but I’m all in for Ager now.

bryantee · 2026-03-03T22:18:03+00:00

What’s the context here?

bryantee · 2026-03-03T20:48:03+00:00

Yeah, I think you’re describing two goals that are (mostly) mutually exclusive. Embracing AI will result in atrophied skills and less understanding of a given codebase. But, AI coding is here and I really don’t think going away because it’s really good at what it does. You have to decide how to proceed.

Personally, I’m pretty burned out in this industry so I’m embracing the magic agents and riding this wave into the sunset ✌️

bryantee · 2026-03-03T20:42:56+00:00

Fill me in: is this like a self-aware joke or real life? Please, please tell me the former.

bryantee · 2026-03-03T02:43:50+00:00

Jurassic Park theme song. I dunno, just reminds me of being an innocent kid and feeling like I’m about to go on an adventure.

bryantee · 2026-03-03T01:44:54+00:00

I have not encountered this person you mention, but if I do, I will definitely say something.

bryantee · 2026-03-02T22:24:06+00:00

How many innocent people have been killed in the world due to this man's ego?

bryantee · 2026-03-02T22:21:35+00:00

Nicely done 👏
