Ah, the ICE Nazguls at work.

There is a whole gang of public enemies in Silicon Valley.

I rarely cry but my eyes just got wet. It feels so good.

I have no idea about judicial system in New Mexico, but it's a curious state - college is free effectively for everybody in the state, for example. Also school lunches are free. It's a rare combination of poor and blue.

Average is not the same as prominent, female CEOs face more scrutiny of their performance. I posted a link to a study on another comment.

My take away, same as from Martha Stewart documentary, is that the law goes for you much harder if you are a woman. Musks or the world can deceive and produce vaporware for decades but God forbid you are a woman that's deceiving other men. A "b*tch hunt" somebody called it in Martha Stewart doc.

Yes, I think we'll find that technical limitations were never the bottleneck. I work for a large corporation and that has been the case here so far. Yes, a lot of things are faster, but issues with product vision, roadmap and cross-team friction aren't gone. They are actually maybe even harder to get right.

The question of what to build rather than how is still central to development. If the article does point to success it's not as much a technical one but of product. That said I'd take these articles with a lot of grains of salt, knowing first-person how corporations spin their successes, including internally.

Where do I sign up?

As a person whose extreme lack of attention went away spontaneously once after a meditation retreat I am skeptical of most things anybody says about ADHD. The inattentiveness eventually came back a few months later but I am still squarely in "this is more complicated than people make it out to be" camp.

A system where shareholder value is effectively the only metric will align the people accordingly.

I think that puts too much onto personal responsibility. Most problems are structural.

I feel like much of what Perplexity does can be accomplished that way.
