She said three sentences. What was her allotted time, five seconds?

Buries the fucking lede by putting this at the end

> Relative to the total population, the share of immigrants in 2024 was approximately the same as in 1890. If we only look at the last few decades, we miss this historical perspective — there have been periods where immigrants made up a similarly large share of the country.


Kind of. No one was alive in 1890 to compare to. Going from 6% foreign born in 1970 to 15% today is a huge change for a lot of voting-age Americans.

I want to know what mechanisms the car provides to ensure you're lined up to the mat correctly. Seems like a small target to hit.

As you approach, the dashboard starts showing the mat position on the ground relative to your car and helps you align perfectly. There's a longer youtube video explaining a lot of the tech in there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeMQfA45LN8

Plenty of modern cars have all-round cameras that track what you've driven over. Probably pretty easy if it has that.

And maybe the reason there will be a senior shortage is because we all got pissed off and left.

Yeah, the "but this can be done in a day with AI" from management is going to get old soon

Considering its become exceptionally difficult to search for things that used to be easy to find, I have to disagree with you there.

The web has been polluted with trash, covering up all the original media with messy imitations.


LLMs have made it easier than ever so search for things. I remember fumbling around with Google, trying different combinations of search terms and never hitting useful results. Now I can give a vague or even partially wrong prompt to an LLM and it sort of magically figures out exactly what I actually want and takes me right there, along with a helpful summary and analysis.

Sadly the problem predated him, the FAA has been under funded for a long time. Last Week Tonight did a really good segment about it a year ago. However, Trump absolutely made it a lot worse.

Additional Context: for about two years functional programming was REALLY popular in the Node community. It was a fad to chain tons of tiny functions together, and thus lots of people wrote tons of tiny functions. This is why lodash/fp exists.

Too late

The more relevant post is by Geoff himself.

I mean, that post says basically nothing of substance, compared to the post linked by OP.

That said, this is a sad situation. If I’m reading this right, essentially digital ocean has just stopped paying the main contributor to css tricks for no clear reason.


I feel like the second to last paragraph says a LOT, quite succinctly, but maybe I'm better at reading between the lines.

Executives are not engineers. Not even the CTO

No, but that doesn't stop them from pushing vibe coded software at meetings and demanding it be put into production or otherwise regurgitating verbatim what their agents tell them.

Or worse, demanding you "use more ai" in your work because clients have been questioning whether the company is "all in on ai"

Additionally they likely never were "hobby programmers", so the specific generation (Gen-X) may be a match, the question was defined more specific.
