Did it work? How do you know that? A consumer of your package sends a int when your package expects a string.
What now?
lol, is that what you took away from that? He burnt himself out, took it out on his employees, and his audience.
In what way is he looking like a victim here?
It's clear Linus has come to the conclusion he's in way over his head. A small channel to a full blown media/tech company is a whole different ball game.
Coming up to the new CEO announcement, you could tell Linus was burning out. He seemed tired, quick to anger, and just generally in a bad mood.
That shit rolls down hill. Pushing for more videos on a tight schedule and burning everyone else out with him has led to the sloppiness.
As for Madison, I believe her. The company clearly has managers who have no business managing and simply got those positions via having tenure as the company grew.
Culture rots when there is no accountability, and when you have a burned out, grouchy CEO trying to do too much, too fast.
So what will matter now is what they do about it. Linus hiring a CEO is a good first step. I feel LMG has always been remarkably transparent and they aren't pretending Madison's story didn't happen.
So if there is accountability for what happened to Madison (as in the people who totally did not do their jobs should be likely fired) and if proper training and processes are in place to make sure it doesn't happen again, then at the end of the day, they're doing what they can when shitty stuff like this happens.
Ideally it never happens. But if it does, do what you can to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Say what you want about the LMS folks, they've always been open. Linus' heart is almost always in the right place. He wants to build an ethical and transparent company. He is a huge tech nerd and that's what makes LTT so entertaining.
If it continues to degrade, yeah, I'm going to pass on further supporting them. But until they prove they can't or won't act in good faith, I believe them
Like 85% of the most recent YC class are "revolutionize x with AI" crap.
Seriously. This is not in any way new - it's just that now people feel more comfortable saying the quiet part out loud.
They don't actually believe in the teachings of their religion. It's just a convenient armor they can cloak themselves in to deflect criticism.
Blockchain? Oh, hah, no no... none of us were ever hyping up a tech we didn't understand as the solution to literally any problem.
Say, have you heard about AI? It's a revolutionary technology that's the solution to any problem!
Which is fair. If it's something you use all the time, obviously an app is usually going to be the way to go.
But the reason they want you to install the app is so they can send push notifications and track you more effectively
Ergo keyboard and vertical mouse.
I'm currently using the Logitech K860 and the Logitech MX Vertical. Easy rec - cost effective, easy to get comfortable with as opposed to the more intense/expensive options.
Made a huge difference for me.
On the off chance you're actually serious.
The thing I was pointing out is that you have a union. Unions are actively and aggressively busted by US companies. Almost every US state has "at-will" employment laws that mean you can be laid off at any time for pretty much any reason at the drop of a hat.
All of a sudden that 400K or whatever you were expecting to make this year turned into $0. You no longer have health insurance. Those RSUs you had vesting this year are gone (and those RSUs made up a big chunk of your compensation - that's how people get into the 300-400K+ a year numbers).
The highs can be high, but the lows are very low.
Whoa. It's like I'm seeing clearly for the first time in my life. You've opened my eyes and I will now immediately stop enjoying things because you, for some reason, feel so weirdly insecure about your own tastes that you felt the need to write, like, 25 paragraphs (that I absolutely did not read) seeking validation from internet strangers.
Really though. What was the goal here?
...according to my union statistics...
I mean... you've got to be trolling at this point. No one is this clueless.
I'm really good at searching Google. I'm a "prompt engineer" too
