Today, I got rejected by an AI company, because they are not looking for engineers heavily reliant on AI. Wait, what? 🙈 I’ve not been using AI for 90% of my career, they really think engineers can’t go back? An example of the industry shooting itself in the foot.

.@DHH says 37signals was built by doing almost everything Silicon Valley said not to do: - No VC money - 40-hour workweeks - Fully remote - Tiny teams - Actually making profits instead of chasing higher valuations “You mentioned the lifestyle business thing. I always love that because people are like, ‘Oh you're just running a lifestyle business.’ Yeah I have a business and a lifestyle. What the fuck do you have? You just have a business? Why would you not want a lifestyle?’” “And my lifestyle happens to include a fucking yellow Lamborghini. So it's not like I'm giving anything up in terms of the material fruits of capitalism right?” “ That was our motto. Tiny team building great software, having good success, not taking any money, then producing profits.” “I know this is a bit of a foreign term in much of Silicon Valley. That's the money you get to keep when you've taken your revenues minus your expenses.”

Avoid added sugar (be aware it’s in everything) 7. Avoid all things in an American convenience store 8. Avoid fried foods 9. Shoes off at the door 10. Eat whole foods, particularly veggies fruits nuts legumes berries 11. Walk a little after meals or air squats 12. Get your heart rate high routinely 13. Lift heavy things 14. Stretch daily 15.
