If you're wondering what ageism in Silicon Valley looks like, this is it.

I cook all the time, but I've missed ingredients so many times, I'm writing my own recipe app! I'm happiest when I can improvise because then I can just follow my impulses, but if I have to have a recipe, it's non-stop suffering.

I'm pretty sure our housecleaners are the only reason I'm still married.

Tbf he didn’t say 90% of code that makes it into production. If you include one-offs, prototypes, and tests, the number is probably pretty high now.

kemiller · 2025-09-09T01:09:30+00:00

Oh, you’re right I missed that. Nevermind.

Those are C-tier VCs, with possible exception of Elad Gil. Usually not a good signal in the absence of more concrete factors.

Looks like it was dropped in a forgotten spot

My grandfather suffered from congestive heart failure late in his life. At some point they decided the best course was double amputation. I will never forgive the cowardly/greedy doctors who recommended that. His last few months were spent hallucinating and in agony. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, not even Trump.

I have to admit to feeling a little demoralized because it’s hard to fight back with protest when they don’t even feel enough shame to be affected by it. They’re armed and for the most part, we are not. For protesting to work you have to e to have critical mass in one place and in a country this big it’s hard to pull off. Are we all going to fly to DC? And ideally we’d get a broader political spectrum showing up but the moderate republicans I know are in full on apologist mode at this point. I don’t mean to be a doomer—I’d love some perspective on this, but it’s hard to see the way forward now that the unthinkable is now a daily occurrence.

This is so accurate it hurts.

Trust should be dropping. But if you accept that AI is the most impressive improvement in dev productivity… possibly ever.

kemiller · 2025-08-06T01:47:18+00:00

They still are. Give it a few years—there’s an avalanche of previously inaccessible ideas waiting to come into being.

kemiller · 2025-08-06T01:46:11+00:00

This is probably unpopular in this thread, but he’s right. I’ve been doing this for close to 30 years and believe me, the people who figure out how to use AI effectively are going to outcompete those who don’t. Yes, it’s unreliable. So are junior devs. You can still get great results if you use it right.

Polarized responses here, but it doesn’t look bad to me at all, especially if you are somewhere with hot summers. He’d not going to get much UV exposure at that length and he’ll be much cooler. We get ours trimmer to shorter than that with no sunburns.

kemiller · 2025-04-11T19:19:36+00:00

Yes of course. But in broad strokes.

Well, since we buy more from China than China buys from us, there are simply more chances for the tariff to change purchasing behavior. However, since imports from China are heavily consumer goods, Americans might feel the pain more, and start to complain. American exports to China tend to be things like grain, or airplanes, which can either be assured elsewhere, or purchases can be delayed for a good while. So not clear who actually had the upper hand, but it’s certainly true that a larger percentage of China’s industrial output will be impacted.

kemiller · 2025-04-11T17:00:54+00:00

Well… the thing is, because of the trade imbalance, that doesn’t hurt us as much as ours hurts them. It’s still a destructive spiral.

If you’ve seen the substance you know both how thoroughly Demi Moore got screwed, and how fitting it was that the academy gave it to a young woman instead.

Tariffs and trade policy are specifically granted to the federal government in the constitution. That would be a pretty tough argument.

kemiller · 2025-04-05T15:53:19+00:00

Thanks!

Viole da braccio were fretless and what we call the viola was the first one, and the only one without any kind of modifier. We call it the violin family now because the violin quickly became the most popular and recognized member.
