I didn’t know anything about electric self-driving cars, so thought Elon was a genius.

Likewise, I didn’t know squat about reusable rockets, so thought Elon was a genius.

I know about software, and this man is a moron.

This is a really shitty way of doing layoffs, but not sure if informing everyone all at once or doing it more personally and everyone waiting to see if/where the axe will fall is any better.

We'll look back at this week as an inflection point when Big Tech lost its former attractiveness. It will be stories like Justin's, and the countless ones to be told, where many realize that, during layoffs, people become numbers, and 8% of those numbers need to be "marked."

Please don’t get any AI to write comments like this - they are worse than useless.

Some of the other ideas in this thread are good (especially writing template/startup code), some are “meh”, and others (like generating regex) GPT get very wrong, so don’t give it too much trust

4/ Comment code

We can extend the point 3 above by adding line by line comments to that code base we didn't build.

But we can also make our own code properly commented before shipping, by asking ChatGPT to add comments.

No more uncommented code in PRs.
