I work in legal tech.

Can confirm. We’re weird, and you don’t want to piss off accounting.

I’ve seen a bunch.

Had my phone wish me a happy birthday on the wrong day. I had a whole folder of emails inexplicably moved back into my inbox, and yes, various wacky hardware problems.

It’s clear that a bunch of the people they laid off were QA people.

IT has been an interesting ride the last two months, encountering some of the weirdest bugs I’ve ever seen, after two decades of Windows working just fine for the most part.

Love how they’re pretending that an LLM is useful for any task that needs precision.

Important to note here that if you are running Windows or a dual-boot, the new version of O&O ShutUp has a utility that allows you to delete CoPilot.

I have a dual-boot with Linux Mint. I don’t access anything personal from my windows installation. It’s just for games that don’t work on Linux.

Lucky bastard.

I see it all the time. Not your fault, and apologies if that seemed accusatory. :)

Would be nice if this weren’t posted every single week.

Proud that my only pwned password is three decades old.

This is so cute.

Oof, yeah. Having to make group decisions with money is tough.

Partly why I love being single and childless.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell.

1000000%

That’s the other side of my strategy, having my portfolio in cash means I can reinvest at the new fire sale prices.

I was able to pay off my student loans by buying oil stock at a 90% discount in March 2020 and then waiting a few years for the rebound. You don’t even need to be rich to do it, just patient.

Yeah, this economy has given me the heebie-jeebies for the last quarter now.

Unless you’re a billionaire or on a signal chat in Washington, I don’t know how you can feel good about what’s happening.

My plan is to stay invested until dividends hit in December, and then I’m going to evaluate moving my investments into a money market or bonds. Amazon’s numbers show that consumers are still buying, and my assumption is that consumer spending will hold off the pop for now.

I 100% expect a massive crash, and when it’s just seven companies propping up an entire economy, the pop is going to be very bad. I’d rather lose a little value in the short term than have my portfolio drop to a calamitous degree and have to wait 5-10 years for it to recover.

*not a FA, just my personal plan

Always love a good pedant.

But the exact number really doesn’t matter and isn’t the point.

And all to have a few thousand extra billionaires.

Bleak.

But you’re not wrong. Motherfuckers.

The wrong founder died, unfortunately.
