one minute in, I cannot believe Prime has never used a password manager. For all the shit they give Trash for his one password, He does not use a password manager!

Prime 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.

I havent used windows in years at this point, but I feel this on the products I am forced to use for work. Basic features are not right, kinda work most of the time. New features, ai integrations, new skin/design, but still teams can’t use my system mic appropriately yet every other app does.

Also feel this computers have not got significantly better since around getting ssds. Yes they are better, but not at the same rate of being obsolete every two years. I hope we hit local model land and it flips this a bit, not in quite the obsolete every two years range, but some new hardware actually lets you do meaningful more new things.

Really good tutorial for how to mod silksong on the steam deck. We just did this on my son’s steam deck. I’d add a reccomendation to map ~ to a back button like L4. I think this guy was docked with a keyboard.

Full salary for the rest of the year after being let go. As much as this sucks as much as the job market sucks. It’s good to see that these companies laying off huge numbers during good times are trying to take care of those they brought on.
