failures of leadership trigger failures of morale. if you want front-line workers to keeping fighting for you, they have to believe in your cause and in your competence. each one is necessary but each alone is insufficient. if you are lacking either, those workers will either leave or dial it in. both of which will be fatal to your company. to communicate both cause and competence, you have to be present. absent leaders are not leaders at all.

@wesyang @SenMarkey Trans is a symptom that is nonspecific. There is always at least one co-morbidity but you don't know what. It's a fake diagnosis that conceals the real conditions and prevents any solution to them.

@wesyang @SenMarkey I know 2 biological girls, now 6yo, who believe they are boys, cross dress, changed names. One is deeply neurodivergent/autistic has a parent who barely survived cancer; the other was born premature, attends a poor black school. she is incessantly bullied for being white & small.

conjecture: the commodification of code will lead to programmer certifications -- ie software as a licensed profession -- in order to satisfy insurance companies seeking. code not written or approved by licensed professionals will not be covered in case of outage or breach.

If you grade on a curve, students help each other less. If you fire on a curve, your employees will help each other less. This is fatal to collaboration.

As a founder, if you can't organize, you can't prioritize. And if you can't prioritize, you'll never move down the critical path. Can't emphasize how much just stack-ranking the most important tasks, and doing the top ones at the expense of all else, will move you forward.

@JacobAShell A key part of the move is the valuation bump that teams get when they move to Vegas. In Vegas, you can count on the away team filling up ~50% of the seats. The city is a good excuse to see your team. Oakland doesn't offer that. Quite the opposite in fact...

@JacobAShell i attended the last A's game. saw the last pitch. the crowd stayed for an hour afterward in sadness and silence. oakland is a working class town, and the teams that are leaving have moved upmarket where they can charge more. it's a reflection of america.

Every founder has the engineering team that s/he deserves. That is, if they are burned out, dissatisfied, looking for a new role, then hey, that's the culture and company you built, buddy.

everybody has trauma, nobody gets a pass. the weird thing about our time is that a universal condition has been deemed so exceptional that is serves as an ejector seat relieving us of adult responsibilities.

Deals billed as "exciting opportunities" are never either of those things. I don't know what school of deal-making trains people or bots in that language. It's a hundred foot high red flag.

@wesyang babies must be manipulative in order to survive, and i applaud them. it's a very adaptive evolutionary trait.

@RichardHanania What point are you trying to make? It can be simultaneously true that Trump is a Russian stooge, FARA should be enforced more strictly, and that Boot's wife should be prosecuted with the same vigor under the same laws. Her behavior does not undermine his argument.

@wesyang met a straight cis guy in the Bay who was on a waitlist for municipal housing. he went from the back of the line to the front by telling the agency in question that he was a non-binary astro space dinosaur. that qualified him for a bigger pad. they asked him which pronouns he preferred.
