How to be a successful crime novel author

Crime novels, bad AI coding assistants, accidentally saving half a million dollars, being fast AND steady.

Hello hello! What’s up?

This is a letter, a personal letter, from me to you. I hope to send it to you every week. If you find it boring, or want to holler at me, just reply to this.

I am going to share three interesting things I came across the past week, every week.

Let’s get into it.

  1. How to be a successful crime novel author

Hacker News Comment

Found this hacker news comment explaining how their friend become a semi-successful crime novels author.

It’s more about treating the work like a job rather than art.

  1. AI Coding assistants might not really be saving developers time

A report suggests that AI tools might not be saving time for developers, once you factor in all the code reviews needed to make sure nothing breaks.

  1. I accidentally saved half a million dollars!

A sad story of sorry state of affairs at above average companies.

Good performers get penalized in multitude of ways for doing anything good. No good deed goes unpunished.

I also wrote a post on being fast and steady being better than slow and steady. Let me know your thoughts!

P.S. Hit me up if you’re looking for a team to build full stack web or mobile apps.
