Everyone I know mutes TV ads when they come on.

And some ads are so annoying &/or repetitive that I refuse to use the product on principle.

anyway good advice for everyone out there anywhere at all: there is no stronger position in the world than the one in which you are willing to walk away rather than be dealt a bad deal.

For decades(?) we laughed at the hacker-news commenters who felt they could build Dropbox in a weekend.

We knew that engineer was confusing the ability to write a POC with an actual enterprise-ready solution.

AI now lets everyone be that engineer.
