TIL.

Dystopian AF.

Diet changes linked to GLP-1 drug use could mean up to $12 billion in snack sales lost over the next decade, according to EY-Parthenon estimates.

Peter ter Kulve, CEO of Magnum Ice Cream, said GLP-1 users continue to eat treats, but they exhibit “a stark reduction of mindless munching and binge eating.”

Coca-Cola’s incoming top boss urged faster innovation on his first analyst call as CEO-elect last week…

Kraft Heinz’s new chief halted a planned split of the company and instead announced $600 million in investments this year to revive long-neglected staples such as its meat and cold cuts business Oscar Mayer.

All for the threat of $1.2b of potential lost revenue per year over a decade.

Ah, derp. TY. That seems really obvious in hindsight.

“ND”? I can get as far as N-somthing Discharge.

There is no antimimetics division: it’s your first day.

The problems with YT will cease when it doesn’t come back up.

Easy enough. It’s quite different between film and TV.

In film the director has creative dominance, but the producers do in TV.

I didn’t realize he’s a producer (of TNG?), I know he directed a quite a few episodes.

Giant Moa (extinct).

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Admittedly I had assumed that “mosquitos” was referring to just the malaria distributing ones… which was a pretty big assumption on my part.

When I said “wasps” I woefully neglected specificity: introduced (non native) wasps.

Wasps taking a close second.

Meta: when the principal actors become the producers.

When the sexual tension between main characters eventually results in a sexual relationship or they get married.

If it’s Cop apologia, when the cop has to go ‘rogue’ to get ‘justice’.

I hated it. Consider the first few practice. You’re interviewing them too!

Good signs are employers asking how you work, asking for interesting stories.

100%.

Also “explain why it won’t work doing it thus way”.

I feel like I should be looking to bounce to an employer more willing to create quality tools that take more time.

Start now. It’ll take a while to find one. When you’re interviewing, grill the prospective employer on how the team operates. IMHO field experience is less important.

I avoided saying as much in my reply because I think opening with “get a better job” is a dick move, but if you’re considering it… start.

I’m a big fan of pair programming. I’m also a fan of rubber duck programming when solo.

I’ve found that an LLM agent can be useful as a rubber duck that can respond and sometimes as a more experienced pair that already knows things that I’m less experienced in.

Everything always needs to be shipped fast and I need to move on to the next thing.

This isn’t the AI’s fault, it’s the culture of your employer. A 100% human workforce would write poor quality code too. Using an LLM is just making you more productive in terms of what productive means for your employer: churning out rubbish faster.

But it honestly doesn’t matter if it’s true.

It’s plausible and that’s enough.
