Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

My professors 40 years ago: garbage in, garbage out.

Big tech companies today: where can we find and buy or steal the most garbage?

So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post

The fee, likely $1, is aimed at stopping “relentless” bots, Musk said.

"Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots," Musk wrote on X.

I am grateful to this monumental buffoon for helping me more clearly identify a broad cagtegory of bad actor. He's taught me that anyone who says "this is the only way to solve this problem" is an irredemable asshole who must be mercilessly shunned.

Three very different cats for #Caturday

Three cats come down the same set of stairs. Maggie, world's softest kitty, announces herself boldly before charging down the stairs. Jane, a dainty tabby, comes down the stairs as gracefully as a supermodel, silent and sleek. Wullie, a chonk black and white tuxedo cat, comes down slowly and cautiously, alert for danger.

Maggie doesn't care about product at all.

NPR suspends veteran editor as it grapples with his public criticism. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244962042/npr-editor-uri-berliner-suspended-essay

FFS.

"Berliner says he sees the same problems at other news organizations, but argues NPR, as a mission-driven institution, has a greater obligation to fairness."

If you're both-sidsing the truth, you've failed your mission. It's not about being "fair" - it's about reporting the truth.

New blog post: Introducing Microsoft Fabric.

For the past 18 months I've been working on Microsoft Fabric, including running a private preview program that included thousands of data practitioner users from nearly 200 customer organizations. With today's announcement at #MicrosoftBuild, I can finally share publicly about this work.

If you're interested in a personal and unofficial view of what Fabric is and what it represents, and in a perspective on what's important to focus on first that's informed from months of early NDA customer engagements, this is the blog post for you.

Everyone: I love the amazing and complex thing you've built, and want to learn how you did it so I can build a similarly amazing and complex thing:

Me: I built a small, focused, amazing thing and then did everything I could to keep it from getting bigger or more complex.

Everyone: ...

Me: If you want to replicate my success, follow this approach and you'll eventually have something unique and wonderful.

Everyone: But...

Me: Seriously, you can't try to build a successful complex thing from scratch. It doesn't work. You need to build a successful simple thing and then grow it from there.

Everyone: ...

Everyone: What are your OKRs?

Me: FFS!

New blog post and video on having a growth mindset!

If you work at Microsoft, you hear about having a “growth mindset” a lot. But what does this actually mean, and how does having a growth mindset apply to growing and thriving as a PM?
