ehsanziya··on OpenAI's employees were given two explanations for why Sam Altman was fired
Based on what've seen so far, one of the following possibilities is the most likely: 1. Altman was actually negotiating an acquisition by Mircosoft without being transparent with the board about it. Given how quickly they were hired by Microsoft after the events, this is likely. 2. Altman was trying to raise capital from a source that the board wouldn't be too keen on. Without the board's knowledge. Could be a sovereign fund or some other government backed organisation.

I've not seen these possibilities discussed as most people focus on the safety coup theory. What do you think?

> Hopefully it will eliminate all the boring shit like managing JIRA, giving status updates, and following up with communication tasks.

Have you tried automating any of these before? Are there tools out there for this? If not, why do you think that is?

ehsanziya··on Refactoring in Node.js: Moving on from callbacks using async/await
Very good demonstration of using async/await to reduce the complexity that callbacks add. In my experience, Promises without async/await did not solve a lot of problems that callbacks had. But with async/await we can write code that is easier to follow and reason about.
