I also think people are jarred by the fact it’s a 4 door 5-seater when they’re expecting the 2 door/coupe style.
It’s not the prettiest car ever, but comparing it to the cybertruck is crazy. The cybertruck was offensive on purpose, and as far as I know there were no real engineering goals driving the look of the vehicle. Ferrari’s website describes the style as driven by aerodynamics, with the lowest drag coefficient on any Ferrari ever. Come on, that’s cool!
All that said, I don’t want to shill for a rich corporation, so continue to flame on I guess.

I don’t have any advice, just questions if you don’t mind.
I'm going to be rotating between various teams and departments and help speed them up with AI
What does helping teams speed up with AI look like in practice? What sort of speed up are you expecting to see? How is that measured?
What will be done for teams who don’t seem to be benefiting from adopting AI?
I do believe this is the direction the industry is headed in, so I'm excited to be spearheading that AI adoption journey in a big organisation
I imagine in a big org there’s going to be at least a few engineers who don’t want to adopt AI. In your role will you bear any responsibility for convincing skeptics?
How much do you think AI tooling will cost in this big org? I’m not sure how many employees is considered big in this case, I just want a sense of scale of the opex for AI.

ogre LinkAre the unseen stunts from a new shoot or is it unused footage from jackass forever? Either way I’m excited for the last ride. I didn’t think we’d ever get another.Are the unseen stunts from a new shoot or is it unused footage from jackass forever? Either way I’m excited for the last ride.

ogre LinkUse websites instead of apps. Even with the granular privacy settings they can gather much more info about you from an app install than from a web page.Use websites instead of apps.

ogre LinkAs a high effort shitposter in group chats I find https://kdenlive.org/ to be intuitive and surprisingly sturdy. I’m also recommending it because you mentioned linux :) Sorry I don’t have any...Should I use some other program instead?

When configuring the firewall for wireguard and forwarding udp packets on a specific port to the peer (homeserver) I somehow keep donking it up such that my ssh connection is killed and I have to wipe the VPS and start over. Usually trial and error is good enough to dredge through something I don’t care about thoroughly learning (firewalls) but this is a punishing process. I just want to host teamspeak on my own hardware with the VPS exposing it to the internet so I don’t have to open any ports on my router!
I’ve also been writing a lot of zig, making a better version of a tool at work on my own time. I usually struggle with project ideas, and I’m quite happy to have something to hack at off and on instead of wondering what to do. I’m excited to name it something stupid so I can savor the eye rolls of my coworkers forcing themselves to use it because it’s better than what we’re using now. Unfortunately it’s heavily leaning on std.posix, which is due to be nuked in zig’s upcoming 0.16 tag. I’m telling myself it’ll be ok and better for the language in the long run, but I’m dreading the looming migration.

They want to be comfortable with letting you handle real work for an intern salary; don’t let them have that. I’m not saying be an asshole or make enemies, just that it literally pays to be manipulative.

It’s like a take home interview you started before even applying.
I’m a happy customer. I’ve been using the search for close to two years, I think? It’s only improved over time. I like it because I forget it’s there, it Just Works™️ and doesn’t get in the way.
As far as privacy, I believe in their business model of “we don’t want your data, just your money.” They’re privately held, no VC funding, profitable, and focus on sustainable revenue. Of course we shouldn’t just let our guard down, but right now I don’t see any financial incentive for them to violate user privacy.
