How does a CEO pull off resisting an ouster and firing the board?

The bar for creating software has been lowered dramatically while the bar for understanding software has been raised. Standing out is less about what you can make, which is perhaps now only table stakes. How quickly and thoroughly can you read and understand code? How can you reason about its architecture? What patterns and tools are at your disposal to improve it?

Mostly, focus on meeting good people, building relationships, and expanding your mind. These opportunities are timeless and besides practical skills, will allow you to continue growing as a person for years to come.

These are the hardest cuts to make in design, being so incremental, but they add up!

Air quality, too. Leaf blowers re-suspend carcinogens like brake dust and other fine particulate matter. Honestly just an awful practice all around.

How do you orchestrate this? I’m on max and would love to be hitting my caps when I’m not actively working a project

Very cool concept. I’d love to see the controls reach spacemouse style movements. The right hand gestures could pair really well with more natural 3D navigation

Care to elaborate?

Approximately one per minute in the 15 minute span proceeding this crash, including one that had an emergency takeoff rejection and was being maneuvered along with the emergency support vehicles that were being sent to attend to it

I’ve been an M1 Air fan since I got mine in 2020 but recently things have become unusable. Playing 4K videos often drops frames, even at 30fps. And I can’t reliably run Notion’s transcription AI on Zoom calls, even though it’s not running locally. I’m going to do an OS reinstall soon to see if that helps, otherwise it will be time to upgrade…

Congrats on this! As a born and raised valley kid, I wish this was around when I was living there as a teen.

Do you plan on writing about the other lessons you learned, which you mentioned in the README? As a big fan of your software and writing for many years, I would deeply appreciate your perspective using these tools!

I’m all for bringing buttons back, but do we really need that many buttons on a steering wheel?

Day laborers are an independent labor force who do construction, landscaping, and other manual work for a negotiated cash rate. In Los Angeles they hang out in public spaces in groups, often near hardware stores, to make themselves easy to find and hire.

This is precisely what the author is attempting to do.

> I know my goal: shift the default in open source from “it’s free for anyone to use” to “please don’t use this if you’re evil”. I don’t just want to do this for my little project; I want to slowly change the discourse. I’m not sure how to do that effectively, if it’s even possible.

> I remain unconvinced at the societal value of “freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose”, often called freedom 0. I don’t want to donate my work to the bad guys!

They never use the term “free software” to describe their goals. To the extent they use the term “open source” it’s in the lowercase informal form. How else should they describe their ideas if not using this terminology?
