  • While it costs money, the internet has been a lot more usable for me once I switched to Kagi. It has no ads, promotes small web creators, automatically deprioritizes websites with AI content and trackers, and lets you prioritize and deprioritize your own specific websites.

    For example, I have right wing websites like Fox News Info Wars, shitty Fandom wikis with better alternatives, and AI art websites blocked. I have websites like high quality recipe websites that aren’t SEO spam and websites I regularly use raised.



  • At my last job, our product depended on an open source project by one of the company’s former employees. I came across a massive bug in our code base that was related to this open source project. Despite the fix for the open source code being like 3 lines, management kept saying, “but we don’t want to help our competitors who might use this.” (No one else used it.) At one point, management asked me why don’t I fix it off the clock because then it wouldn’t be “company resources going into an open source product”. My response was basically “fuck you, pay me.” It took me a literal month to finally convince management.
