I think of myself as a good, hardworking dev (work really hard, love the graft), and I am passionate about it and read up on things.
but there really is a different level altogether, when someone’s identiy is that thing, and they stand out an absolute mile. Sam Bosworth a great example of this in Shopify, a young gun and funny in a nerd way. his breath of knowledge was just incredible though.
whos who of total charlatans. and have such a shower of devotees without any real substance. if i met this person , i find it so hard to stomach these spoofers. Lex is the worst, oddball musk lickarse.
Actually how I found grady booch.
- Joe Rogan - some interesting people to hear.
- Huberman Lab - if you like to know deeply what is behind things, scientifically proven.
- The Diary of a CEO - you can listen to some influential people.
- Lex Fridman - Similar to Rogan, bit with a different flavor.
- Jordan B. Peterson - if you support his way of work, you can learn a lot about human psychology.
disappoints me the guests they seem to get, and all a big circle jerk of course.
5 of the most banal, boring, faux intellectuals out there.
Grady and teh rock mugging of Lex. Very contrived and it annoys me that they have such a following. (if you’re a particular pedant like me, this video is kinda comical outing lex).
Gergely stands above the rest, conviction and honesty that is so refreshing.
Need to check out this deep dive he did on a conference that had AI women speakers
