    <link>https://memos.hawkhill.ventures/p/the-fallacy-of-defensibility</link>
    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[What remains difficult to replicate is a team that consistently executes at a high level over many years. The day a company stops doing that is the day someone else starts catching up.

That’s why I increasingly believe the obsession with defensibility in the earliest stages of company building misses the point. Most startups are not going to win because they discovered some perfectly protected market opportunity. They are going to win because they built a better organization and operating model than their competitors.

Culture eats strategy has become a cliché at this point, but clichés usually exist because there is truth underneath them. Durable companies can absolutely be built in crowded arenas.]]></description>

Matthew Yglesias, who’s a political commentator, yesterday tweeted, “Five months in, I think I’ve decided that I don’t want to vibecode — I want professionally managed software companies to use AI coding assistance to make more/better/cheaper software products that they sell to me for money.” And that feels about right to me. I can plumb my house if I watch enough YouTube videos on plumbing. I would rather hire a plumber.

I just realized it’s the thing I said earlier about how I only want to use your side project if you’ve used it for a few weeks. The enterprise version of that is I don’t want a CRM unless at least two other giant enterprises have successfully used that CRM for six months. [...] You want solutions that are proven to work before you take a risk on them.]]></description>

    <title>Why So Many Men Never Leave Home (and What It Costs Them) | Psychology Today</title>

    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The study's findings don't apply equally to all men. They concentrate on a specific profile: young, unmarried, no college degree, ages 25 to 34.

These are the men most responsive to housing cost pressure—and they're also the men with the fewest backup systems for friendship.

No college network to fall back on. No partner to anchor a social life. No established career creating organic peer contact. The natural on-ramps to male friendship—the job, the neighborhood, the shared apartment—are either absent or out of reach.

And here's the thing about that age range. Your late 20s and early 30s are when the friendships you'll carry into middle age get made or don't. Miss that window, and you're not just lonely now. You're potentially lonely for a long time.]]></description>

AI’s direct impact on this problem is minimal. Okay, so Claude can code it in 3 minutes instead of 30? That’s super, Claude, great work.

Now you either get to spend 27 minutes reviewing the code yourself in a back-and-forth loop with the AI (this is actually kinda fun); or you save 27 minutes and submit unverified code to the code reviewer, who will still take 5 hours like before, but who will now be mad that you’re making them read the slop that you were too lazy to read yourself. Little of value was gained.]]></description>

A pattern that you have to internalize is that while lots of these tools and models are sloppy and error-prone, anything you can do to antagonize that into being better will be helpful. This is the thing where I show you how LLM code tools can be a boon to an engineer who wants to do things well. Suddenly, we have a clear technical reason to document everything, to use a clear type system, to clarify things with schemas and plans, to communicate technical direction before we’re in the weeds of editing code. All the things that developers are structurally pushed to do less of, even though they’re always a net win, are rewarded.
You will want your LLM-aided code to be heavily tested. You will want data formats fully described. You will want every library you use to have accurate documentation. You will use it. Your tools will use it.
You will want linters. You will want formatters. Type systems help.

and

In the time it took to write this over a week or more, Claude Opus 4.5 gave way to Claude Opus 4.6. GLM-4.7 was surpassed by GLM-5 just today as I write this bit, but z.ai is now overloaded trying to bring it online and has no spare computing power. All my tools have had major updates this week. The pace of change is truly staggering. This is not a particularly good thing.
I may edit this article over time. No reason we can’t edit blog posts, you know. Information keeps changing with new data and context.
Now go out there and try your best to make the world better.]]></description>

Quarterly planning, OKRs, and Jira all exist to make work legible. Illegible work is everything else: asking for and giving favors, using tacit knowledge that isn’t or can’t be written down, fitting in unscheduled changes, and drawing on interpersonal relationships. As I’ll argue, tech companies need to support both of these kinds of work."

    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Reinforce collaboration by measuring shared outcomes. Metrics like pull request throughput or change failure rate are inherently team-driven. Highlighting these encourages engineers to support one another instead of optimizing for personal performance.
Reduce unnecessary stress by avoiding competitive comparisons. Individual metrics (e.g., commits per week, lines of code) can unintentionally create competition. Team-level framing shifts focus toward delivering value together, which aligns better with engineering being a team sport.
Enable learning loops at the team level. Metrics become powerful when they drive retrospectives and continuous improvement. Framing them at the team level creates space for honest reflection (“what slowed us down?”) without singling out individuals, leading to more open conversations and stronger team trust.]]></description>

The purpose of code review is not for the reviewer to find bugs, and certainly not for them to ensure that the code is bug-free.  Anyone who depends on code review to find bugs is living in a fool's paradise.  As everyone should know by now, it is not in general possible to find bugs by examining the code.  

The primary purpose of code review is to find code that will be _hard to maintain_.  The reviewer looks at the code and tries to understand what it is doing and how. If they can't, that means it will be hard to maintain in the future, and should be fixed now, while the original author is still familiar with it.]]></description>

"The following is uncomfortably philosophical, but: In my worldview, humans are dramatically different things than a function 
. For hundreds of millions of years, nature generated new versions, and only a small number of these versions survived. Human thought is a poorly-understood process, involving enormously many neurons, extremely high-bandwidth input, an extremely complicated cocktail of hormones, constant monitoring of energy levels, and millions of years of harsh selection pressure.

We understand essentially nothing about it. In contrast to an LLM, given a human and a sequence of words, I cannot begin putting a probability on "will this human generate this sequence". 

To repeat myself: To me, considering that any human concept such as ethics, will to survive, or fear, apply to an LLM appears similarly strange as if we were discussing the feelings of a numerical meteorology simulation."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Optimistic view on AI for engineers:

"First, we must become masters of context. The effectiveness of AI hinges on the quality of the information we give it. I’ve started obsessively collecting my own context, transcripts, notes, ideas, with the goal of building a personal, searchable database that I can use to augment my own thinking and my interactions with AI.

Second, we must learn to be shepherds, not just button-pushers. For those of us who write code, this means getting exceptionally good at describing problems and guiding AI to generate solutions. For our colleagues in non-engineering roles, it means learning to see opportunities for automation and building the AI agents to handle them. We all need to adopt a mindset of invention.

Finally, we must guard against brain atrophy. We can’t let the tool do all the thinking. Use AI as an accelerator, a tireless research assistant, and a pair programmer, but never as a replacement for your own curiosity and ingenuity."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Quote: "A lot of people absolutely hate this stuff. In some of the spaces I hang out (Mastodon, Bluesky, Lobste.rs, even Hacker News on occasion) even suggesting that “LLMs are useful” can be enough to kick off a huge fight.

I get it. There are plenty of reasons to dislike this technology—the environmental impact, the (lack of) ethics of the training data, the lack of reliability, the negative applications, the potential impact on people’s jobs.

LLMs absolutely warrant criticism. We need to be talking through these problems, finding ways to mitigate them and helping people learn how to use these tools responsibly in ways where the positive applications outweigh the negative.

I like people who are skeptical of this stuff. The hype has been deafening for more than two years now, and there are enormous quantities of snake oil and misinformation out there. A lot of very bad decisions are being made based on that hype. Being critical is a virtue.

If we want people with decision-making authority to make good decisions about how to apply these tools we first need to acknowledge that there ARE good applications, and then help explain how to put those into practice while avoiding the many unintiutive traps."]]></description>

There are new tools and they are being applied widely in science and technology, and are changing the way we think about ourselves, and how to make further progress.

That being said, we are not on the verge of replacing and eliminating humans in either white collar jobs or blue collar jobs. Their tasks may shift in both styles of jobs, but the jobs are not going away. We are not on the verge of a revolution in medicine and the role of human doctors. We are not on the verge of the elimination of coding as a job. We are not on the verge of replacing humans with humanoid robots to do jobs that involve physical interactions in the world. We are not on the verge of replacing human automobile and truck drivers world wide. We are not on the verge of replacing scientists with AI programs."]]></description>

    <title>The Death and Life of Prediction Markets at Google—Asterisk</title>

    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Quote: "Prophit worked, in part, because of internal transparency. When a market forecast how many Gmail users would join next quarter, it was based on a value that was visible to everyone at Google. Google was famously internally transparent compared to other tech giants.

One Waymo VP, upon seeing these safety metric forecasts, said this would help communicate these metrics across company divisions. And then, to my amazement, he said this was counter to his division’s goal to restrict information like this. The core mechanism of prediction markets — using the wisdom of crowds — can be antithetical to the common management desire to control who knows what."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Great summary: "Shipping is really hard and you have to make it your main priority if you want to ship
Shipping doesn’t mean deploying code, it means making your leadership team happy
You need your leadership team to trust you in order to ship
Most of the essential technical work is in anticipating problems and creating fallback plans
You should asking yourself “can I ship right this second?”
Have courage!"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>ajohnson1200</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[From Greg, patterns for elite engineers:

Longevity/diversity. Pick projects with a short Time to Production Feedback (T2PF). Structure existing projects to slash T2PF. Once you’ve learned your lessons, move on to a contrasting project.

Success/failure. Cut your losses but learn your lessons. Focus on what you could have done differently.

Mentored/self-directed. Build and maintain relationships with engineers you admire. Trust your curiosity as a compass pointing to your future growth.

Urgency/slack. Work hard on your main responsibility, but take time to learn when that’s the best use of marginal effort. You’re worth it.]]></description>
