True or false: Self-driving cars are the future.

Just what I want to do. Jump into a "Johnny Cab" and have some uncontrolled robot driving me all around. No way it could be hacked and made to crash or do something unsafe! No thanks, I'll keep my gas powered clunker. At least I still have control of it.

True, with the caveat that it's the very, very distant future. I think eventually we'll get to a point where self-driving cars are ubiquitous and future generations will view our age of wantonly smashing vehicles into one another the way we think of the wild west. I don't think it'll happen for a very long time, though.

I worked at Lyft ten years ago (before Meta), and at that point the founders thought it was right around the corner.

That experience really changed my pov on innovation and the speed of implementing them. Things tend to move way slower than what media and «experts» proclaim. The world today is very much like the world tomorrow. Things move slow and gradually to the point where it’s almost unnoticeable.

In theory, if all cars are on the same network, then coordination should be better than humans (no emotions, no distracted driving, no negligence).

However, it’ll take time to come to reality. Insurance lobbies and traditional automakers that don’t have relationships with Waymo or Tesla will rally hard to push back as their businesses will be disrupted.

Uber will need to license this or also be destroyed unless they move to Uber eats and groceries only.

Less parking infrastructure and less ongoing maintenance and insurance/renewals/inspections/property taxes are things that are benefits

I don’t really care who drives me around, i hate traffic

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?
