PJM - November '22
Anybody else put on 5 lbs this month!? For me it wasn't even Thanksgiving π¦ - whenever I'm swamped with work I stress eat... +5 for November.
This month a bombshell dropped in the tech industry (well every industry is potentially affected) that I'm sure you've heard about by now: OpenAI's ChatGPT...
I was going through a new dev course and trying to figure out a complex task at my job when this dropped...and ohh boy is this an absolute game changer. I could have spent days trying to figure out this 1 task - and no joke, it took me less than 1 hour tweaking with ChatGPT (terrible name I know π€£).
I'm not saying this is going to replace engineers - but it'll probably be like doing math without a calculator. Sure you can do it, but I'd trust my 5-yr old niece with an iPhone over your monkey brain ππ§

NEW JERSEY πΊπΈ
As beautiful & amazing as October was - ehh November kinda sucked π€£.
Hey - you gotta experience boring, shitty months to appreciate the beautiful, exciting times of the year ;) #seasons
That being said - it is fabulous after 2-3 years of being abroad during COVID to finally be back with family during the holidays π¦ππ π»π

Business | Marketing
Most of what you see at first on Amazon is now an ad. I think now is the opportune moment for another player to enter the space. It's not just the ads - the product quality, the hacked reviews, the list goes on...

Seriously great job of marketing here. Between the Zuckerberg Icelandverse and this - Iceland is definitely winning at the marketing Olympics.

A good perspective from a Site Reliability Engineer from Twitter. It was interesting to read about how the systems held up after laying off more than 50% of the company.

ππ»ββοΈ I was one of those people that tweeted @bchesky on Twitter about this. To his credit he responded to me directly and said this is something they need to fix. Sooo yeah - I think he really meant it when he said he heard it "loud and clear" ...you're welcome ;)
