It’s such an odd but kinda fun feeling to be the old, grizzled, experienced dude in the room. By virtue of sheer volume and having seen some truly brain-meltingly-stupid stuff, seems like the best thing I can do is to share my lived experiences and perspectives so we can hopefully avoid making the same mistakes for the 10th time (see terrible tech bros doing terrible tech bro stuff).

So when you see me going on and on about some specific theme (layoffs, AI slop, hype bubbles of late), it’s very likely a flashback to a story line that ends badly that I’ve seen before and we probably want to avoid doing again.

Transitioning from being the young, rage-filled, justice-seeking guy to the old, rage-filled, justice-seeking guy really creeps up on you!
