As a manager one of my key tasks is to identify who is ready for a promotion in the next promo cycle. My rule is simple: You are ready for promotion if you report to me and I have no fucking idea what you are doing. If we are that stage in our working relationship, then a) we both trust each other completely and b) you are largely autonomous and do not require me to make any decisions on your behalf. I trust your decisions and will back you. If both a) and b) are already true, this person should already be at the next level.

I was assigned a mandatory “GenAI” course at work to complete with estimated time to complete it at 4 hours. I directly jumped to the assessment and used GenAI to answer all the questions and finished the training in less than 20 minutes. If this isn’t the best use case for GenAI what is?
Throw the motherfucker in jail for being an absolute stink on his otherwise amazing family.
Last night at the gym I and Pakistan-origin coach had a fun time talking about the India-Pakistan clash on Sunday. All was good until a white woman decided to pitch in with *I can’t get into cricket! I don’t have time for 7-8hr game! I don’t even understand it. Who plays this game?* Both me and the coach looked at her for a few seconds, ignored her and continued with her banter. Back of my mind I am like, what exactly did this lady feel that she wanted to interrupt our conversation that she clearly had no input into except a whine? Was she feeling left out? Was she genuinely interested in talking about sports? Or was it admonish the brown people there by dismissing a game clearly both me and coach enjoyed talking about. I sincerely hate these kind of pricks at the gym and I am so glad both me & the coach just ignored her and continued chatting.
Apparently the President of the most powerful country in the world is absolutely powerless to do anything against a Supreme Court judge who has decided that his will and beliefs are more important than common good, and he will go to any lengths to advance his agenda. Meanwhile President and rest of us have no recourse except go *cool shit bro!*
The OpenAI ChatGPT deep integration into iOS and MacOS has almost no chance of being approved on our workplace macs or iOS devices. For personal iOS devices I won’t be surprised if new guidelines evolve to prevent us from either using personal device for mail/slack or block ChatGPT/OpenAI.
Coke Studio Season 15 ended so bizarrely and suddenly. After a 2+ years break and a magnificent Season 14, Coke Studio finally came back in April to only end abruptly just 7 songs later. Not sure what has been going on there, but the way Season 15 was handled seems super hackneyed. There some real gems in this season too though – *Aayi Aayi, Maghron La, Blockbuster, Haraklay* were definitely pick of the lot this season. Hopefully they come back for Season 16, but it felt rather ominous. Also, can we like stop with Quickstyle dances? Talk about over saturation and overdoing a dance group!
How did India steal win from jaws of defeat? Usually it’s other way around. Also feel bad for Pakistan damn!
