I’d like to see creators who own their rights put in contracts that the story must be told in full, and that whatever pacing is decided on (1 season per book for example) needs to be maintained. I know most studios would walk away, but I’d love for someone to have the balls to tell them that

You want to make my 10 book series into a TV show? Put your money where your mouth is and pony up 10 seasons worth

Marketing really has just ran away with everything. I wonder what they’ll rename the console as

Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading

It did?

we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match their browsing habits and online needs.

So other things no one asked for?

I decided when the show was on that I’d love to buy and read the books, when they’re finished. We’re over a decade past that and still haven’t bothered to even crack open the first. Doubt I ever will

I was going to say, wait another reboot?

Little Randy, Lucy and Bo-bandy’s kid. What happened to little random? They covered the story by saying they put the little maf up for adoption, but other than that the little cheeseburger driving kid was never spoken of again.

I’ve learned to never hope for the best when it comes to consumers. They have been trained to happily hand over their money and time for worse experiences. They is no breaking point that they’ll come across where they finally stop paying, even if they surpass the ability to even afford it.

It doesn’t matter if Netflix is shitty. They’ll pay for it, because how would they go on without it? They’ll pay more for more ads, and it’ll just be accepted. We here are the minority.

Seasons 1 - Battle of the Bastards was some of the best television I’ve seen in my life. Truly masterpiece, all the way through. I’ve never seen that level of excitement either from fans, we had watch parties every year. That’s what made the ending sting so badly, was because of how good it was.

Real men don’t need to level themselves as anything. Real men are just themselves and don’t worry about what other people think of them.

K, that’s your opinion. I think it’s fun asking my assistant do things.

Home assistant does have voice, and they’re trying out their own in home devices. It has an app for android and you can map your primary assistant to it

Honestly have to agree. I was skeptical on your take until I read his blog post. I see zero reflection on it. Instead I see blame and anger, and yes frustration.

Look, the market is trash, but there are jobs for those willing to learn. He mentions php. Php hasn’t been relevant for new jobs for a while. The only time I mention my php knowledge is it it’s in reference to an older project I did. He mentions he’s kept up on AI by “reading HN and articles” and then saying he has 5 projects he has essentially vibe coded it sounds like. That’s not keeping up with AI from a software engineering standpoint. That’s just using AI tools and reading articles. Keeping up with AI from an engineering standpoint to me is using their apis, running models, training your own models. Go under the surface, show curiosity.

We work in a field where a fundamental requirement is to keep learning. It’s very easy to get comfortable in a role and not learn anything new, but you’ll get stuck there. If you have unemployment learn every library you can. Learn Rust, Go, random languages. Choose the packages you don’t know very well to build your app. Deploy your app yourself, learn CI/CD and infrastructure. Don’t stand still.

I’m a dotnet engineer now. Right now that means I’m 40% dotnet, python, nosql, kubernetes, and React. 5 years ago I was Angular. 10 years ago I was php and webforms. You can’t just say “I learned to code, I’m done!”. In this field it’s never done.

Edit, I also want to call out two other red flags from him. He’s unemployed but the thought of in office was a red line for him? I prefer WFH of course, but if it’s door dashing or an office, it’s a no brainer. Then also if you have that many connections on LinkedIn and no one will vouch for you, that’s a moment of introspection. I won’t say all or even a majority I would expect to help out for me, but I have a decent network. You have to keep that up

I’m not saying every three months, but after 5-7 years like me, it’s probably just a good idea. Who knows what devices have the passwords saved on it still

I appreciate they took the time to do this. Still though, when was the last time you changed your steam password? Regardless of this it never hurts to update it

Made by and for douchebags. Honestly if they actually wanted to make a little truck that was an EV I would have been all over it. Just something small to haul some dirt or lumber for home projects. I don’t want a giant f150, I want some danger ranger size or smaller for light projects. I think that could have been very popular.

I like to calculate enjoyment per hour for cost. Red dead 2 took me 120 hours for $60. That’s 50 cents an hour, and not counting the now many replays. So there’s a good bar.

Then you have the movies, who now want upwards of 12-14 dollars an hour of enjoyment. Or I just wait until I can get it at home.

Now, there’s a lot of variable there, something being more expensive does not mean bad, I can justify the costs if I want it enough or if I’m, say, looking forward to a specific movie. But they’re fighting for our leisure time, our Friday and Saturday nights, and for that cost it’s just not worth going to the movies and “seeing what’s showing” anymore. They nickel and dimed us out of that experience. Why go spend $40-50 dollars for 2 to go see a movie when we could rent one at home, or play a game, or any number of things?

There’s a plugin for SteamOS that does this, I’m on Bazzite and it works very well.

Just fork it immediately

It’s been heavily theorized that arrested development what have been a wild success now vs when it came out. When it was released it was the early 00s and most average TV watchers were into the casual sitcom. They did not have interest in watching each episode in order with a long running narrative and jokes that called back several episodes to get.

However that’s where TV went. Now most of our shows follow that format, we enjoy it more. I think now they could have been successful
