Someone was talking about “what we’re going to do” in regard to “AI” and jobs. If anyone can do the work faster / or do more work… etc etc - and to that I just thought: race to the bottom!

Is that really the goal? To “produce” more? That’s never been my bottleneck.

Then I said: real answer? Probably eventually riots. And then murderbots for the rich who can afford them to keep the rioters dead.

This is just a very possible thing that might happen.

We didn’t have flying killing machines yet / but there’s a lot of history to look at.

So, Reddit banned me for a while for breaking rule number 1: threatening violence. Of course a bot was in charge.

So, I spoke my mind - and was essentially silenced (killed across all Reddit land) / by those with the power to do so. Interesting.

I’m down to help improve things - if anyone wants to point me to the right people and places.

We don’t live in a vacuum. I don’t know if it’s useful to talk about sexism at all - without noting that.

“Earn $30 BTC after your first buy of $2...”

So, Coinbase… 2 what? 2? 20? 200? 2,000? 2,000,000?

There are plenty of good reasons to wear gloves depending on what you’re making. For example, the heat from your hands will melt the fat and change the meat if you are preparing for smash burgers or something. But for sure, if you think they are just putting on gloves - instead of washing their hands… as a catch all - that’s not a good sign.

As far as red flags - it’s hard to tell ahead of time. I won’t eat at places where it smells like tons of cleaning fluid. I won’t return to a restaurant if the people seating me have no social skills, if I see mold, loud fans, gross carpets and furniture, food that doesn’t have fish but smells like it does… but many of those things are what you find out over the course of your first time there. Sometimes rude waiter = the best secret place.

If it’s empty - and/or the menu is too big, they probably don’t know what they are doing. Besides that… I end up having to find out…

I remember think flip board was amazing. I won an iPad 2 at a work raffle. I don’t know why I didn’t keep up with it.

It’s nice to see someone speak who doesn’t same “um” every other word.

And for the record — I’m wearing blue short shorts just like that little graphic.

I’ve been using the Sola app to know when to get my vitamin D without putting on sunscreen. But more than that - creating a buffer in my day where I’m not immediately back in #design and #dev mode - has worked wonders. I can just do a little writing and watch the bees go about their work. Slow and steady wins the race.

You got me on a wavlake journey.

The bathhouse fight is epic / and sly in how it hides all the crotches haha

I’ve been writing real human code today. It’s so refreshing. I’m not sure what god intended… but this feels so much better.

I’ll pass that along. But I want to hear more about your specific reasons. It’s certainly an interesting dataset to work with.

Also, - can we get some markdown-style _emphasis_ in here? ;)

At that moment where you have to decide… do I really want to build out a full custom messaging system in this app? Or should we incorporate third party tools to solve that? But doing _that_ might just as long or longer and then be a dependency. Let’s see if I can just make it in two hours instead of spending 10 trying to get the other options. #dev

You might find a USB drive though.

So far, I don’t think that you can build _anything_ with Nostr. But we’ll find out. And I agree that the protocol something is built on - doesn’t need to be mentioned. No one says they build their website _on the HTTPS protocol_.

I’m not sure yet! So far, I’ve just being building out one little step at a time - trying to map out the common patterns we’ll need. Maybe I can turn that into a #dev #devster #nostr resource eventually.

What are some ideas so far?

There’s a very wide spectrum of what a given dev has seen, has experience with, is good at, and how they communicate and use their time. So, I think it’s a bit different because of that.

I have worked on many teams, and I’ve done some hiring. And now I teach #design and #dev . So, I’ve seen people getting 160k and be barely contributing - and people getting 50k and doing a tone of meaningful work. Laying brick is a lot more visually measurable.

But I do think that in many cases, hiring two 70k devs instead of a single dev is often the right choice. The key is - they have to be able to think a bit more cross-role and not just wait for directions. Because that’s often why you need the “Senior” devs. If everyone were to think of themselves more like a _designer_ instead of a coder - a lot of this gets fixed.

One lonely #swingers tag! Haha! Well, someone had to start. #lifestyle didn’t work.
