Like for like I would argue that there is some kind of normal distribution curve at play here … where Gapingvoid’s conclusion is correct in the centre - but wrong at the extremes.
5 - 50 and 500,000 are not ‘specific’.
Managing ‘5’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘5’ mini projects.
Managing ‘50’ mini projects is harder than one project that encompasses those ‘50’ mini projects.
Managing ‘500,000’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘500,000’ mini projects.
I should come back to this with more detail - lets see what the cognoscenti has to say … nothing - as usual - would be my guess.
Attention and trust continue their dance, and our choices determine how we’ll show up in the marketplace. Burning trust to get attention rarely pays off.

Unmasking either one isn’t just invasive. It is destructive to what they built.

The problem is a lack of urgency and imagination.

Oceans on both sides and friendly nations on our borders have lulled America into a false sense of security. After all, the U.S. has not fought a foreign force on American soil since 1812.

Software As A Sandwich
From an orginal idea of Andrew Mayfield . When he first mentioned it in a conversation, my mind took a turn. Finally I am at the first (of many I hope) iterations. Let me know your thoughts.
In writing another post (coming soon), this joke from the mid 90s came to mind. It starts …
Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself in purgatory, being sized up by St. Peter.
“Well, Bill, I’m really confused on this call; I’m not sure where to send you. After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows ‘95. I’m going to do something I’ve never done before. In your case; I’m going to let you decide whether you want to go to Heaven or Hell.”
Well, I spent a Saturday last month vibe coding a Hacker News clone. Took about 3 hours, most of which was me arguing with the AI about CSS.
😂😂😂 .. not just me then❓
🔗 Apple’s new AI problems have nothing to do with Siri | Macworld
But let the Macalope get this straight: Apple is being sued for being not being callous enough about AI while also being sued for being insufficiently careful about AI?! It’s like you can’t win!

🔗 Why Anthropic’s new model has cybersecurity experts rattled
Anthropic said, the model has found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser, and in many cases developed related exploits. Among them: a vulnerability in OpenBSD, a security-focused open source operating system, that had escaped detection for 27 years; another flaw in the video encoder FFmpeg that had escaped detection in 5 million previous automated tests; and “several” vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, which could be exploited to take complete control of a user’s machine.
🔗 The Apocalypse Is Here - Michael Moore
America, a country 250 years old, and the only nation sick and violent enough to have ever used a nuclear weapon, in partnership with Israel, a nation younger than Mick Jagger and Bugs Bunny, and the only nuclear armed nation in its region, are on the verge of wiping one of the oldest civilizations off the map.
I have a feeling that everyone likes using AI tools to try doing someone else’s profession. They’re much less keen when someone else uses it for their profession.
