Custom software is not new. Most enterprise software has been custom for decades. What's really about to change is who can afford it.

enterprise is one big laugh. first users hate that your product messes with their comfy routine. then they love it when life gets easier. then they hate u again the second it hiccups.

Funny how every time your wireless mouse dies, it feels like the worst possible time. But really, every moment is a bad time because you only notice it's dead when you actually need it. Surely someone's made a self-charging mouse by now…

If you run saas in the cloud and sell to enterprise, pay for the dev support plan (AWS, GCP, Azure etc). Small teams don't have bandwidth for infra fires. Just buy the escalation path.

If you're going to do a live coding interview, having AI tab completion makes you look way better than going to stack overflow or chatgpt.

Supported language lists are becoming less and less important. We must keep getting these models as linguistically diverse as possible.

78% of candidates say they'd accept less pay to work somewhere mission-driven. People will trade cash for meaning when the math still works. Just don't use "mission" to underpay.

If you think "senior engineer interview" = no coding test, you're making a big mistake.

Too much shiny object syndrome in crypto. Makes it really hard to sift through the noise if you aren't in there full-time.
