  • I’ve literally never heard of those horrible companies mentioned in the post. I have no idea what they do. In that sense, maybe Ed’s bad at PR? Honestly I’ve been following Ed’s work for a long time now and I’m also a frequent critic online of genAI, so I don’t really understand this swinging at him with a bat. He’s been a net positive for the movement, no question. Also the line about how he’s an ass on social media…that’s his brand. He’s always roasting everyone. He also roasts himself, when he’s not ironically making himself out to be a genius (in that winking British way). If you don’t like that sort of humor, fine, but I think it’s pretty weird to take it too seriously. 🤷🏻‍♂️


















  • I found The Minimalist one amusing and a bit relevant, but otherwise I didn’t resonate with any of them. I feel like I’d fall under The Artisan : I’m a hippie type you’d expect to see in a Portlandia episode (and lol, I actually live in Portland), and my goal is to hand-craft every line of code and offer it up as an organic, farm-to-table morsel of supernutritional bliss with excellent mouthfeel.


  • I saw it and found it incredibly moving. It’s more of a “romdramedy”—it definitely has comedic moments and of course romantic beats driving the overall plot forward but at its core it’s a commentary on societal expectations and class divisions. Would definitely recommend. (Unless you’re truly just looking for a fun romcom in which case prob should go watch Nobody Wants This on Netflix or whatever…which I also love, don’t get me wrong!)
