Post note: Cromwell's downfall was not related to the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536. He was executed in 1540 after he was taken down by a successful campaign led by his political enemies
While Henry had the final say, most of these executions were the final result of campaigns and accusations of the victim's political rivals. In modern western democracies, we typically haven't entertained the pursuit of legal campaigns against politicians after they lose power.
I'm almost finished with the Wolf Hall trilogy by Hilary Mantel. Incredible historical fiction series covering Thomas Cromwell's rise and fall in Henry VIII's court. Some observations from it that are pertinent relative to today's politics:
@Dexerto I don't think Airbnb hosts are prepared for a how little sympathy they elicit from the average person.
@rfleury Yeah, put it right next to the pronouns
@keithedwards I had my doubts that this was real.. but you shared the source, I opened it and there it is..
@PatrickHeizer Most people don't understand O(n^n) or its implications, but that won't stop them from thinking they're experts
why software engineers have this low self esteem? It's very easy to disprove this. Look at AI lab engineering outputs! They hire top talent, and have unlimited tokens + unreleased powerful models. Can you see impressive software built by them? By impressive I mean: - low RAM / cpu usage - good UI UX - no blatant bugs - minimal downtime - obviously no electron ... why isn't this obvious?
the coding agent haters are getting dunning-kruger'd so hard right now do you really think that your engineering ability is better than the models at this point? it is very very likely that fable is better than you in every branch of software it has been trained on all the
@zeeg I'm baffled by all of the recording and note taking products.. When I got confident as a leader, big unlock was that I stopped taking and reviewing meeting notes. Focused on being present in meetings. Trusted that if it was important, I'd remember. Served as prioritization filter
@rfleury @mattworkman Appreciate the sentiment and obv this guy is a tool, but note that the ragebait only reached me bc you replied to it
@venturetwins Turns out @alexandr_wang was right at least in the cased of Wired employees x.com/alexandr_wang/…
@venturetwins These interactions say much, much more about the writer engaging in them than they do about the product
@juliarturc 100%. They need to Just. Stop. Talking. I think whichever "lab" does this will pull ahead
@tomekkorbak @balesni @j_asminewang Having read the posts from the 3 of you, but the not the letter, it the firing does seem shitty.. however, in my experience, companies typically aren't particularly candid about their rationale for firing and California has "At-Will Employment"
@theinformation No Joseph Gordon-Levitt? @hitRECordJoe
@clairevo Are they really get left behind tho?.. Maybe they are using their time more wisely than we are
