Before departing, Lina Khan slips him a memo suggesting that the Facebook Feed undercuts Truth Social

We've got gen AI now and no ZIRP yet this is all they can think of, Web 2.0 will never die.

They oughta call it YOLO coding, in that case, though I suppose that slang is over a decade out of fashion.

YOLO has a misplaced modifier, they oughta call it YLOO coding (you live only once).

I like to think I learned this from the person who killed YOLO a decade ago (she teaches English).

My guess is that Netflix is tried to cultivate a semi-premium brand (but not premium in an Apple TV+ way), which means getting rid of the long tail in favor of what's hip, sexy, exciting, etc. Whereas while Amazon is making expensive boondoggles like Ring of Power, they are also comfortable with keeping dozens of conspiracy theory documentaries on. I guess that's in line with the identity of their main store, and the concept of Amazon being a series of warehouses.

Meanwhile, a lot of this content is on places like Tubi.

At least I was right in predicting yesterday.

It’s because medicine, with its residencies and HN-mocked credentialism, is closer to traditional craftsmanship and the progression of apprentice-journeyman-master than the “every hacker for themselves” world of modern tech.

The whole point of credentials is that they are designed to be revoked. That's their whole point. If your credentials are pulled, you lose your ability to practice. That's by design. They are not gate-keeping tools. They are "this guy killed patients, so let's keep him far away from them" tools.

Let's fix the real problem then? Why can't tech be like this?

Why should it? What problems would they solve? Are you so afraid of competing with those who might not get a certiciation?

Well, it'd be nice if they reintroduced proper training of new tech workers, rather than outsourcing it to universities ("not supposed to be trade schools") or relying on internships/co-ops which these days are often nearly as competitive to be hired for as actual jobs. Formalized apprenticeships could help with that, as well as impart a proper culture of craftsmanship.

And as far as certs go, just having a simple one for algorithms/data structures can seriously fix the issue of having to go through the Leetcode gauntlet at every single place one interviews at. A certificate for that class of questions would go a long way towards smoothing the existing interview process. DRY, anyone?

> Why should it? What problems would they solve?

We clearly do have a problem. No 1 learns from past mistakes. We keep reinventing the wheel e.g. the land of NodeJs, Javascript, etc. Even within companies there's no learnings passed down. Each new hire thinks they're the best and tries to redo it all.

> Are you so afraid of competing with those who might not get a certiciation?

I rather compete on certification than compete on leet code. Do you miss the point that the whole leet code system has nothing to do with any job? At least certification might be slightly be relevant.

Sounds like it's more complicated than it appears at first glance.
