Today on LinkedIn, I described the tech industry as a bunch of coked up hamsters running faster and faster on the same giant hamster wheel in order to ship more AI features, and that was my act of resistance for the day.

I found a cool YouTube channel, Steve Shives, who posts character monologues from the perspective of support staff in the Star Trek universe… you might find those interesting!

perhaps naively, i think not giving credit is a symptom of imposter syndrome

this sort of thing eats away at you… if you think you have to have all the answers or figure it all out alone, simply not true

i’m reading a piece that (among many other amazing things) demonstrates the power of a simple credit:
