> I see some of the best ideas coming from the younger generation that have not yet been in the job market.

The views of these business leaders betray their own lack of vision, they are barking up the wrong tree.

The ability to think differently is not the preserve of the young. Instead of only hiring a bunch of greenhorns they should identify and cultivate people who are idea generators and flexible thinkers, of any age group, starting inside their own organization.

If you, as a business leader, are not stimulating a culture of innovation and instead maintain the status quo of traditional hierarchical roles where managers become gatekeepers of ideas, and everyone is protecting their own little domains, then you are the problem. Shit organizations will quickly turn original-thinking young people into corporate drones.

I was prescribed diazepam and it was an important part of my healing when I suffered a back injury. The doctor prescribed the 'holy trinity' for severe back pain: diclofenac for anti inflammatory, cocodamol for pain and diazepam to control muscle spasms and help me sleep. It worked like magic.

The doctor gave me the minimum amount of pills to get me through the initial chronic period, 7 days, and I was very grateful to be made comfortable.

I was lucky that my back healed quickly, even after a few days on the drugs I detected a feeling of dependency creeping up.

TDK SA C-90 were my favorites - excellent sound quality and durability, not too expensive.

I believe Spotify has some blame in the devaluation of streaming music by stuffing playlists with (the blandest) music that they commission directly from artists in order to avoid paying royalties to record labels.

> For day-to-day developer work, it’s totally viable to focus on one or two flash-tier cheap models

GLM 5.3 flash has been good as my default profile Hermes bot, after I readjusted its memory to point to a couple of key skills.

I got some great coding results with GLM 5.2, and 5.3 Flash is supposedly almost as good, so I will be trying it out soon for day to day tasks as the post advises.

> Nobody in this ecosystem, I thought, is actually in control here.

Profound, your comment provoked this thought: we know that AI in organizations is disruptive, but we still don’t understand some of the shifting patterns of power, communications, agency, etc.

If AI is not well-suited for traditional models of stratified management then maybe we need different models of bureaucracy?
