I started thinking about performance gains.

It’s an older code but it checks out

Is it as good as Google desktop was?

Google have significantly improved upon Bard.

And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS

Not. Electrical Scada systems are usually airgapped from the Internet.

It’s easy to order 1 beer and end up with 31.

I don’t use the debugger. I just write perfect code.

Supply chains need that. Traditional databases can’t be used because there would be hundreds.

Blockchain is an adequate solution to a problem that already has other, cheaper solutions.

There is no other solution for creating a shared, permissionless database.

False.

How do you modify a transaction that occurred 100 blocks ago? You’d have to also modify the 99 other blocks since that modification. But for those new blocks to be valid you need to find the new magic number that brings the hash below a certain threshold, 99 times. But there aren’t enough machines.

Hmm.

Somebody in your company who used to work for Mckinsey is now in a position to spend money on Mckinsey. If they spend enough over a long period the they will be invited back to become partner.

Mid manager replacement prompt

You are a mid level manager tasked with creating a McKinsey-style, action-led PowerPoint pack. The input is [insert source: report, transcript, dataset, notes, etc.]. Your task is to transform it into a concise, executive-ready presentation that drives decision-making. Follow these rules:

1. Overall structure:

Title page (client/project context).

Executive summary (3–5 key takeaways, action-oriented).

Situation analysis (context, data, and insights).

Key findings (use MECE structure: Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive).

Recommendations (clear, prioritized, action-led).

Implementation roadmap (phases, timeline, responsibilities).

Risks & mitigations.

Appendix (supporting detail, charts, data tables).

2. Slide design principles:

Each slide has one clear message in the title (action-oriented, ‘so-what’ statement).

Use the pyramid principle (top-down storytelling: answer first, then supporting evidence).

Keep text minimal, favor charts, diagrams, and visuals.

Apply MECE logic to group insights.

Recommendations must be specific, actionable, and prioritized.

3. Tone & Style:

Professional, concise, fact-based.

Focus on clarity and impact.

Avoid jargon unless essential.

Make it CEO-ready: every slide should be understandable in under 10 seconds.

I find “master” offensive, so I make sure I main bate instead.

Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.

The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.

The context window can’t handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.

There are definitely clubs. Harvard clubs, Mckinsey clubs, Goldman Sachs clubs, masons rotary clubs.

But only people who did MBAs together are in the same club. The qualification means next to nothing, only the specific personal connections made.

This doesn’t ring true. How are you defining this homogenous class?

I’ve witnessed some awful management consultants.

The MBA class is much more endangered than developers. Power point slides, project plans, strategy reviews are all well within a LLMs capabilities.

Why hire an MBA when chatgpt produces x10 quality & volume at a fraction of the cost.
