Founder Mode, hackers, and being bored by tech

ianbetteridge.com · Sep 14

I could — and probably should — write an entire essay about the cult of the founder in Silicon Valley, how it developed and the damage it has done. This article from Dave Karpf, though,…

“Tech has become all Jobs and no Woz. As Dave Karpf rightly identifies, the hacker has vanished from the scene, to be replaced by an endless array of know-nothing hero founders whose main superpower is the ability to bully subordinates (and half of Twitter) into believing they are always right.”

I was a kid in Dayton, Ohio when Mike Peters was the editorial cartoonist for the local paper, the Dayton Daily News. My mother also worked at the DDN then, and said nice things about him.

In the last days when a sharp editorial cartoonist could be a national voice, Peters was one. And his politics aligned with mine, which I appreciated. (Though it generated no end of angry letters to the editor from people wishing they would shut him up. They never did.)

This cartoon of his from 1978 has been making the rounds, which I hope leads some people to go back and rediscover his work. It will reward the effort.

Earthquake scientists detected an unusual signal on monitoring stations used to detect seismic activity during September 2023. We saw it on sensors everywhere, from the Arctic to Antarctica.

We were baffled—the signal was unlike any previously recorded. Instead of the frequency-rich rumble typical of earthquakes, this was a monotonous hum, containing only a single vibration frequency. Even more puzzling was that the signal kept going for nine days. #climatechange arstechnica.com/science/2024/0
