Looking through Linkedin and all the bad managers I've had seem to be cast from the same mould:

  • Into "AI", but gesture towards doomerim to look reasonable
  • Believes "AI" coders will replace programmers
  • Pretending they weren't into "blockchain" a few months ago
  • Uses trendy PKM du jour (Aboard is replacing Notion among the MBA types)
  • Uses passive voice to gloss over the mistakes they've made in the past
  • Older ones talk about Web 2.0 as if it wasn't a bullshit marketing term at the time

And, bonus, the worse the manager was, the more active they seem to be on Linkedin. Yay!

storkk,

@baldur wait, wasn't Web 2.0 just css and ajax in various admixtures?

@storkk Pretty much. Then got turned into an investment bubble as is the way of tech.

@baldur I thought Web 2.0 was the same as the web, but with added VC enclosure of the commons and advertising engagement driven surveillance capitalism?

@otfrom @baldur

Serious question here: What is "Web 2.0?"

otfrom,

@Professor_Stevens @baldur user generated media on someone else's platform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

baldur,

@otfrom @Professor_Stevens Yup. Although it was actually much vaguer in practice at the time and also often referred to a specific design aesthetic (think original flickr).

@baldur The worst one I've had just called himself a philosopher king the other day on a podcast that has been caught for racist remarks.

@baldur Also, WordPress is a "secular religion if you will" and "anyone can leave at any time": https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxVUfJ4i0HRF3SukKtwpzhVMZ9lLbQy46i

The blockchain razor, and its cousin crypto, are he best to come along in years.
