HN stranger, I want to observe that you shared a suicidal idea. I'm sorry to read about your unemployment situation and know things must not be easy. As one HNer to another, I implore you to not to pursue that path and seek help in doing so. That we are members of this community confers to us opportunities to build knowledge that serve us well as life long learners. In that vein, going back to school is not a bad idea.

Having been in this game for a long time, I get the negative aspects of the industry. They grind on me, as I believe they have for you. Choosing a different path is not an all or nothing proposition. Your knowledge, and you as a person, have value. I hope you find a way towards better mental health and wish you well on that journey.

Such is the state of British politics?

Isn't it the wild west already?

On a lark, I asked Claude to compare AI to the wild west a while ago. It raised three points of similarity:

- Land-grab economics

- Lack of regulation

- Changing social and professional attitudes.

Whatever it is, it's a wild ride regardless.

Doing the lords work, as they say. Thank you for sharing.

Taking a broad view of music, ChatGPT has been great at creating lyrics for songs my DND character sings.

In the context of the source material (the books by Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson), the 'greening' of Dune/Arrakis is a very broad plot theme. So, the comment is not one of 'green washing' but in keeping with themes of the series.

Full disclosure: Haven't read all the books, nor am I looking to after reading a bunch during the pandemic.

How would that take down Twitter?

In the context of 'IT Consulting Companies,' which the blog post is about, it means that clients are paying a higher billable rate than for more 'junior' staff.

The great ones also realize that there are other things employees value and build upon those, along with compensation.

Negotiating courses often refer to this as the BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement). Considering what that scenario is and having it as your bottom line is the best piece of advice they impart.

Reducing attrition is a good incentive, especially these days. Whether it's enough is another question.
