Sent my family a few photos generated using @dannypostmaa's HeadshotPro and they didn't pick up on the fact that they are AI generated... Not sure how to feel about this, but the future is going to be wild 🤯

It is definitely a numbers game though. There are those that look convincing...

And then there are these... 😂

What makes a good / bad commit (message) 🧵:

First, the main goal of a commit is to introduce an atomic change.

Atomic changes contain only one feature, refactor, fix, etc.

A good commit allows to evaluate one change at a time and it contains only/all the changes necessary.

Bad commits happen because of a bad workflow.

Your workflow is rarely a reflection of what should be contained in a good commit, i.e.

9 times out of 10, if you commit using `git commit -a` you are making it a 💩 commit.

The workflow should be:

* finish developing the feature and test it
* think back through all the changes you had to make and how you would want to present them
* stage selected lines/rebase to create commits that introduce them in logical chunks/order

We really have come a full circle.

Early 2000s: LimeWire, eMule, Shareaza
Now: Plex, Sonarr, Radarr

What’s in between? Netflix

And whats next… (hint: back to piracy)

For the longest time, we all liked Netflix.

They were the first to the market.

They had a ton of content.

They were easy to use.

Even studios liked it because its popularity reduced piracy.

However, Netflix success was evident, and studios took notice.

It became harder for Netflix to secure licensing deals.

Seeing where this is going, Netflix started producing content and studios started building their VOD platforms.

I am paying increasingly more attention to what kind of nonverbal cues I display when doing video calls.

Is it 🤩🙂😐🤨or 😡. It matters.

Even if you are not in the center of attention, how you react to what is being discussed affects people on the call.

A deep thought may be misconstrued as disappointment or disagreement etc

It is not easy though. A lot of the times we do this without realizing.

Asking your peers to give feedback or a nudge if you slip helps.

Equity for software engineers explained in layman's terms. 👇

(Personal opinions. Founder's perspective. Not a legal advice.)

First things first, equity issued at different stages of venture backed companies is hard to compare.

USD 100k worth of equity at an early stage company (pre-seed, Series A) might increase 5x-1,000x in value over time.

At later stages (Series D, [..]), it is unlikely to 2x.

For an employee of an early stage VC backed company, this means that while their salary is likely to only gradually increase, their equity value might increase several times in just the first year,

i.e. 100k worth of equity at Series A company ≠ 100k worth at Series D company.

Giving out inflated titles does as much harm to the company as it does to the individual.

For a company, it leads to a culture of entitlement, politics, and artificial aspirations not attached to the evolving goals of the business.

As an individual, an inflated title with nothing to show for signals either that you weren't successful or bad culture. Focus on articulating your accomplishments.
