Some of you tough tech guys are talking a lot of sh$@ but I bet you couldn’t hack a Gibson.

None of these generalizations are new to people who have had to work in service industry or customer service.

I have no sympathy for tech workers griping about these changes. Before I transitioned to I.T. I worked in the some of the most demanding call centers in the BPO world.

There was no remote work, every single minute of your day was monitored and you felt like you were in a fish bowl where every word and kpi was being analyzed by management. If you didn’t meet all 10-15 metrics you basically had one foot on a banana peel.

Put your big boy pants on tech bro. Winter is coming!

It's surprising to see the iPhone 17 Pro Max specs compared to those of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Comparisons show the S25 Ultra leading in several areas, especially the cameras. The difference in megapixel count is significant.

For years, Apple's flagships were considered superior, but Samsung appears to be pushing boundaries with the S25 Ultra.

Is Apple truly behind, or does their optimization and ecosystem integration make up for it?

I was going to tell you a joke about a broken pencil, but there's no point.

An awful lot of Monday morning quarterback CEOs are here running their mouths about what Tim Cook should do or what they would do. Chill out with the extremely confident ignorance. Tim Cook brought Apple to a billion dollars in free cash he doesn’t need to ride the hype train.

Also let’s not forget they are first and foremost designers of hardware and the arms race is only getting started.

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me.

I heard the bakery caught fire. The whole place is toast.

The article's comparison to the 19th century railroad boom is pretty spot on for how big it all feels, but maybe not so much for what actually happened.

Back then, the money poured into building real stuff like actual railroads and factories and making tangible products.

That kind of investment really grew the value of companies and was more about creating actual economic value than just making shareholders rich super fast.

Bingo!

I tried to start a hot air balloon business, but it never really took off.

Every single day someone dies a wrongful death, a plane crashes, a serious data breach occurs, and someone slips on a banana peel.

None of these things will ever stop the billionaire gravy train because of something called “Risk Management.” I don’t think our “vibe-coded AI slopware” is an exception.

Exit criteria is a great idea and probably a best practice if you are wanting an agentic style workflow. I have not yet let go of the reigns.
