Milei is flailing.

Typical criminal politician move when they’re about to lose power.

Will that knowledge stick? Given that you blasted through many things relatively quick?

As someone in a similar journey, I say: No, the knowledge won't stick.

OTOH, the output might stick?

Then the question becomes do you value knowledge for its own sake or for what it enables you to do? I don't have an answer.

What an insightful response. I thought about that for a while, and its a great way to reframe some of this debate about the desirability of using AI.

I’ve never been a cram for the test kind of person. I do best when using knowledge in an ongoing basis. Regardless of AI, things I studied intensely a decade ago but never use are by and large gone, whereas things I use frequently stay and deepen.

I don’t expect it to be any different with AI, but YMMV.

Great code has never been the requirement of success.

Throughout my career no software that hits $100m annual revenue was born from great code. That’s 2 fortune 100 hi-tech companies with other medium sized companies with revenue close to $1B.

There was one company that had better codebase than the others, unfortunately that company struggles to hit $2M MRR…

Looking back, it was painful to admit that code quality was not how the company succeed: it was overall strategy and luck.

Be careful what you wish for. Amazonians are in a no-hire list in quite a few companies.

The reason is simple: nobody wants to bring in toxic culture.

short-term?

how about 100 years?

> Beginning in Great Britain around 1760, the Industrial Revolution had spread to continental Europe and the United States by about 1840

You know what else happened during that 100-200 years time frame? 2 Wars + Governments decided to step in and rebuild post-war. Governments tax the rich/elite by 90%.

You know what else happened? workers being punished physically and mentally until the formation of Unions.

You skipped a big chunk of The Ruling Class always exploit everybody else like what we're seeing right now: Tech CEOs laying off and not hiring.

History repeats again.

Are our productivity increase for the better? People are still working overtime because of reduced worker's protection today.

We have a lot more cheap plastic toys now though!

Unions and worker's rights exist because workers were exploited to the max during the Industrial Revolution.

yes.

All politicians will say what people want to hear.

> 1 USD buys nearly $1.40 CAD.

Right before Trump (2024), 1.42 CAD at the top. During Trump, barely hits 1.40 CAD, one time it touched 1.37 CAD.
