How many people watching this sent their clankers out to make a uuid service for them as they were watching it. UUID as a service sounds great, heck @steipete just has to mention it and his claws are on it building out the service, no need to even type anything or directly form a thought, just mention it in the meeting and a new repo will be up by end of meeting.

You found my thought's a collection of short posts generally tied to a link on the web and written through a small chrome extension. See full posts on waylonwalker.com

Jonathan Blow Made Me Quit My Job | Prime Rea ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znmZA_n485Idamn Johnathan Blow is not afraid to give you the cold hard opinions. If you want to be good you need to spend your early most formative years doing hard things, because you will not do it later, then goes on to say you should not do anything related to web development during that time as it will rot your brain.

Why Agent Harness Layer is DYING - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thMFsqe8kbQThorsten is always a great listen with well thought out answers. I thought the advice "all you have to be is good" from his is so great, so many people focus too hard on credentials and certificates, they miss the time in the saddle and raw, just being good at what you do. They talk a lot about industry trends and that ai/llms have been here long enough to see that they are the new iphone. In some way you need to learn to work with them. Much of the minutia is churn, it will change and we will forget about it in six months. Working at amp right now is really trying to focus on releasing exactly the right thing and not everything. We've been given these great models that can churn out poc very quickly, it is our job to focus on what the right thing to adopt is.

These Layoffs Backfired Instantly (ft. Primea ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WrGfsh7x5UPrime on Big A they make a really great mix. I really like primes perspective on the layoffs here. Adding in an ops perspecive a bit here. Maybe inspiring a full level post. infra, ops, sre roles are incentivised to keep uptime, that is your goal in these roles. Idk how it works on big products, its probably more greased, higher stakes, more well thoguht out, more well discussed. In my role for many small internal applications developers constantly use my platform different and find new edge cases that we never expected to hit. Depending on my week I'm either the team blocker and I'm fighting fires all week making sure new releases are getting out and stay running while everything is breaking, or I'm tending to the fire lanes, predicting the new edges, looking at previous outages and asking myself how do we never see this category of failure again. I think AI is really good a enabling both of these. I think you can probably run a leaner team with AI on the latter half. AI is really good at implementing things consitent (if you are careful) and fast. But when shit hits the fan, you still need the people who know the systems to get things back up quickly and prevent a cascade of more problems.
