• " To Be Loved "

  To be loved is to be seen, to be heard, and to be cherished. To be admired from afar and still loved, because love asks for nothing more than a moment spent in the presence of their beloved.

• Shame? Nah, Just Beer

  You cried poor,

• Me?? How was it me??

  She broke it

• at the end of the day people are really disappointing

  its kinda funny when im not believe this words till it bacame into my life and ruined my life. i think its just chit chat, but when someone suddenly close to me.

• I HATE -TASHENAKASHENA

  I HATE THE SIGHT OF YOU....... BEST BELIEVE I DO.

• It's pointless !

  We blame the world because of politicians , religion , countries and everything but it’s the people that live in the world and the mindset they walk with !!

• PAIN INSIDE

  Till now what i felt i wrote that. Eventually,i realized a lo

• Being a murder and playing the victim

  Just how i feel

• A world withered in joy and unseen in sorrow

  within utopia there is only dystopia

• All Endings Are Also Beginnings

  I thought the people who knew my heart would protect it. I never imagined I'd have to learn how to rebuild it after them. This is a story about heartbreak, friendship, unanswered questions, and the quiet beginnings that follow every ending.

• Does anyone actually choose Oracle, and is Oracle fine with that?

  Oracle is the cockroach of enterprise tech, hated by everyone, used by everyone, and staffed by people who stopped pretending it was cool around the Clinton administration. The product is the sales motion, and the database is the hostage.

• ¿El empleado de Amazon lleva su propio desgaste como un mérito?

  Amazon es la máquina más eficaz de la industria tecnológica y sus empleados, no se sabe cómo, han decidido que ser el combustible es lo mismo que ser el motor. Los principios de liderazgo se citan como escritura sagrada dentro de un edificio en llamas, y la antigüedad media de dieciocho meses se luce como una insignia de despliegue militar.

• Is your 0.05 percent and the word 'family' really a salary?

  The startup guy will tell you he is basically a co-founder. He has 0.05 percent. The founder described this on the offer call as "could be worth millions someday," in the warm tone of a man who has personally read the cap table and knows that after three more rounds and a 1.5x liquidation preference, 0.05 percent of the exit is enough to buy a used Subaru, if the exit happens, which it will not. He is counting on you not running the math. You do not run the math. You frame the offer letter.

• How did Spotify win the music wars and still can't make a dollar?

  Spotify is genuinely great. The app is excellent, the discovery is top-notch engineering, and it pulled a music industry that had been thoroughly looted by piracy back into being a business that pays. I open it forty times a day. None of that is the joke. The joke is that the most dominant music product ever built still cannot reliably make a dollar, and everyone there has decided to solve that by becoming something other than a music company.

• Does Google pay talented people a fortune to stop using their talent?

  Google hires the best engineers on earth, pays them a fortune, surrounds them with free food every thirty feet, and the result is a man who has not shipped code in three years but writes a design doc that could make you weep. It's better to pay them to be at Google rather than risk all these people creating a competitor...

• Why does the Apple employee take a vow of silence over a phone?

  Apple makes the best phone on earth. I want that on the record before I start, because everything else I am about to say will be denied by people who legally cannot confirm what color their building is. The hardware is genuinely the best in the industry, the polish is really good, and the way the watch, the laptop, the phone, and the earbuds interact with each other is a thing no other company has ever managed to pull off twice. None of that is a controversy, I'm an Apple fanboy myself after…

• Will a Meta engineer tell you the comp before the company he works for?

  Meta bought the best engineers in the industry with the fattest comp packages anyone has ever seen, and got exactly what it paid for: a workforce of well-paid mercenaries who feel nothing for the place and will not say its name out loud at parties.

• Is the bracelet the real watch, and your strap drawer a cry for help?

  A watch is not finished until its bracelet is on it. I need you to sit with that before you reach for the spring bar tool again. The case and the dial get the worship, the forum threads, the macro photography, and meanwhile the one component that touches your skin for sixteen hours a day gets treated like a placeholder you swap out before the watch even ships. Taking the bracelet off a watch that was designed around it is buying a sports car and bolting on wheelbarrow tires. It is hanging a…

• Do Amazon employees wear being used up as an achievement?

  Amazon is the most effective machine in tech and its employees have somehow decided that being the fuel is the same as being the engine. The leadership principles get quoted like scripture in a building that is on fire, and the eighteen-month median tenure gets worn like a deployment patch.

• Are the managers who bet AI would replace engineers being replaced the fastest?

  Last year my LinkedIn feed had a genre. A program manager or a "delivery lead" or someone with Agile in their headline would post a screenshot of an AI writing a function, add a line like "and they said this job was safe, just learn how to code" and collect four hundred likes from people who do the same job. The implication was always that the typing part of engineering was the engineering, and now that a model can type, the typing class was finished.
