Roundup for Friday

Hunger over stability, Indian IT outsourcing, peeing in Amsterdam, and more.

• “Hunger beats tenure.” – A million ops engineers just grabbed their chest and yelped out “This is the big one, Elizabeth! I’m coming to join you!”
• “CLAUDE_CODE_EVEN_MORE_DANGEROUSLY_SKIP_PERMISSIONS.”
• “Meta is, ultimately, in the personal entertainment business.”
• “A human hesitates at data that looks wrong; an agent acts on it anyway”
• Asianometry on How TCS, Infosys and Y2K Built India’s IT Export Industry, and Why Claude’s First Jobs Look Like Theirs – “I am struck by how similar the early jobs done by Claude are to those ones done by the IT exporters: Porting software, 24-hour development cycles by submitting a long-running job before going to bed, and other knowledge work.”
• “Amsterdam had the most beautiful street furniture in the world.”
• “Finding a toilet in Amsterdam can be surprisingly awkward when you are already walking, cycling or sightseeing.”
