> Is it unfair for you to create content/products/etc after you have read and learned from various sources on the internet, potentially depriving them of clicks/income?

Because it's false equivalence? ChatGPT isn't a human being. It's a product that is built upon data from other sources.

The question is if this data is legal to scrape, which it is: Web scraping is legal, US appeals court reaffirms [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31075396].

As long as the content is not copyrighted and it's not regurgitating the exact same content, then it should be okay.

This is a reminder to always figure out the game in an organization and play that game. Don't blindly assume that if you do a good job, you will be safe. You might not like politics, but politics is, unfortunately, a natural part of any organization.

Using Rust for startup is pre optimization at the language level.

You should be using the language you know best or dynamic languages when you are trying to move fast.

The unfortunately thing is that most large companies are bad at retaining people. The quickest way to increase your compensation is to change jobs every 3-4 years. I think in 2022, it's much less taboo to move between companies.

I highly recommend this video I watched today about platform capitalism.

I think social media tech companies are going to on a long term downward trend. People are sick do adtech and surveillance capitalism. But everything else in tech will bounce back.

> small minds talk about people

This rings so true for Elon Musk fanboys. I also like the full quote, "Small minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas."

I mean I wonder why? Tech companies foster this type of work environment and now they complain people don’t have loyalty? Come on, you can’t have it both ways.

I think for baby boomers, they are used to getting their news from 1-2 sources only. So they believe anything the tv station or newspaper tells them. For our generation, we are much more critical about the news we are getting and know how the internet can be manipulated. So having grown up with the internet, we tend to have more antibodies.

Even an automated email is better than no reply. Past companies that I interviewed that ghosts me, I would never apply again in the future. It’s just basic manners. Having too many candidates is not an excuse. Especially if you want to hire senior programmers because we always remember. HR is usually the first impression candidates have with the company and it’s a lasting one. This is also why HR and recruiters are viewed so poorly with many programmers.

> 1. Avoid going public if at all possible.

This is basically what Bloomberg has done. Despite selling financial terminals to bank traders, the company still hasn't gone public after all these years.

I used to not understand why videos had dislikes even when they haven't premiered yet. But then one day, I realized that in order for YouTube to stop recommending me some channels, I had to press the dislike button.

YouTube recommendation is so bad. Even when you aren't interested in something, they keep on showing it until you click on it. For example, I watched a few Squid Game videos a few weeks ago. Suddenly, because Ben Shapiro did a video on Squid Game, it kept on showing me that thumbnail for days.

The algorithm should have realized that his channel was much more about right wing news than Squid Game and shouldn't have shown it every single day on my recommendation. I don't watch any politics on YouTube.

The worst part was if I clicked on the video, it would re-enforce the algorithm that I wanted right wing news. So the only option was to click the dislike button. It feel like I was force to click the button.
