Refactored #139: “Independently Procrastinating”

On this episode of Refactored…

  • Frank built a patio and now his back hurts. The American Dream! Happy Independence Day!
  • The guys banter about the often-overlooked intelligence and skill required in blue-collar work. Frank channels his inner Mike Rowe, but both champion the trades.
  • Frank rants about Dell’s Kingergarten “flag system.” It’s some weapons-grade BS. The guys lament the lack of trust in the workplace. Oh, and if you’re remote, it’s a dead-end job.
  • Frank predicts a collapse within higher education in the next decade or two.
  • Chris goes on a whole thing about VC’s… again.
  • The picks of the week are:
    • ChatGPT’s voice mode: at least on the iOS app, you can have a spoken dialogue with the LLM. It’s neat when you’re driving.
    • mikeroweWORKS: Mike Rowe’s foundation that champions the trades.
  • … and much more!
