  • Do you believe that anyone existing in America must speak English

    Yeah, eventually. If I’m going to live in a country indefinitely, I’m going to try to learn their language. If I’m in France for more than a year, I’m going to try to learn French. I’d expect the same of friends and family. It’s not racist to expect people living in a place long term to be able to converse with the locals.

    If they’re working here for just a summer or two and spending most of the year in another country, no.

    and only English?

    No?








  • LLMs are not going to replace a large number of people.

    But they are very helpful, especially in coding. If you’re not using LLMs in normal business development, you’re going to fall behind.

    It’s made me a significantly faster developer, largely that a lot of the tedious work feels less tedious, and my projects are more polished.

    You just can’t vibe too much or you’ll come out with an unmaintainable mess. There’s a difference between using these tools responsibly and just producing slop.








  • Unpopular opinion — The electoral college and Senate can stay as-is. At a glance it might seem weird to give votes to land, but on the other hand you shouldn’t want every state between Utah and the Mississippi to become the country’s public dumping ground.

    Yeah, there are problems, but the other reforms might be enough. Overturning Citizens United, cleansing the Supreme Court of RV bribes and corruption, eliminating gerrymandering, and proportional elections should cover enough that we don’t need to eliminate Nebraska’s votes.
