I do nerdy things with AI, product, culture and code. Building an orchard. I also have rare cars (1:300, 1:750, 1:2282 1:4000) ... that are not worth anything.

me : I shall make this bulletproof and go full on overkill on maintenance things.
also me, this ONE time : .........yeeeeeap we're going with the @FordRacing valve covers.
You think your “hallucination” on your email is bad? Try having it tell you “flat spots” exist on a circle.
LLMs suck at automotive and I’m trying so damn hard to tell it otherwise.
I don't know who you are @Ford Engineer - but these little tabs on the crank balancer? ...you knew.
And it works exactly as designed. Made the job 1000x easier than I was expecting.
is there anything more nerve-wracking than hitting a crank bolt with a small impact
...then a slightly bigger impact
...then bringing out the big boy (but with the smaller battery)
...and still having to go full send.
or, or ... the people that kept half assing it and never got the gist and claimed its "death" and uh, yea, are still half assing it.
spoilers, most just made it part of how we work ...and moved on, building better and faster
those Blackstone lab guys must have a sense of humor. I ordered 5 kits ...they sent 10.
I'm not even mad.
Wow, what year is it? This still looks like the old YC/Techstars growth-at-all-costs math from the zero-rate years. SCALE SCALE SCALE! At least they have a product that people use, see valuable and pay for. So that’s cool.
That $80B net loss …<looks it up> is mostly non-cash accounting on convertibles, so ignore that. Mostly.
What’s real is ~$9B of compute spend in against $16.3B revenue, plus hundreds of billions in locked-in take-or-pay cloud and lease commitments over 7–10 years. Those aren’t soft - shortfall payments and non-cancelability on the big Google/Amazon/Microsoft/Broadcom pieces.
I’ll keep saying it until people listen - who owns what, where. Spoilers, there it is.
Revenue ramp is …wow, which is the only thing that makes the bet …coherent. I’d worry that higher rates just make the fixed-cost overhang worse if growth slows or stagnates. Even worse, becomes unsustainable.
you don’t need codex for that. Rewind 5, 10, 15 years and more times than I care to admit.
“We write unit tests and have over 95% coverage!”
That’s great, can I see? Can you run them?
<all test pass>
Nice …can you change that true to a false <on this critical business function>?
<all test pass> “……….um”
That should’ve broke something
Has anyone looked at their paycheck then did the math how much you really take home? I mean after tax, insurance, retirement, and whatever else?
Like, what's your REAL take home %?
Funny how PRs are becoming the bottleneck. Again.
They always have been. They're a smell, not a solve.
I see a lot of "WE'RE HIRING" posts and they all feel like engagement farming scams.
Has anyone got a single interview from these things or am I calling a spade a spade?
