<p>To be honest it sounds like you hit the jackpot there.<p>You say this is a company you could see yourself working at for some time, and have been handed C suite level responsibility that you can handle. So seemingly you are content and able to handle the work load.<p>Learning to be a IC is something anyone can do given time, but learning to be a manager can only be learned by being on the job, if you are able to get it in the first place.<p>Now is really not a good time to jump ship, unless you know for certain that the new position is going to be stable.<p>Grab the opportunity, do a good job and perhaps study how to be a better IC in your free time. You'll come out on the other side with skills and experiences that many in this field will be missing.</p>

<p>And this is why so much software today runs extremely hot.<p>It's creators clearly care not for the efficiency of how it is built, which translates directly into how it runs.<p>This blog post is effectively being apologetic about the fact that this is alright, since at least they got product market fit. Except Anthropic is never going to go back and clean up the mess once (if) they become profitable.<p>I doubt anyone will like how things will be in 5 years time if this trend of releasing badly engineered spaghetti continues.</p>

<p>Yeah you're right, serves me right for writing that while busy doing other things this morning.<p>The intent of the comment stands though.<p>I meant to point out that GrapheneOS has perfectly good support for verifying device integrity via Hardware Attestation, just not the method which requires Google to acknowledge the OS signing keys.</p>

<p>Given the responses here (and the downvoting) anyone would be forgiven to think I had something personally to do with the removal of the audio jacks, rather then you know.. only saying I do not personally understand the anger involved with the whole thing.<p>Hope the soft skills of those involved are better when interacting in person.</p>

<p>> <i>"Too many android phones copied Apple and ditched the venerable audio jack"</i><p>I understand this is a personal preference, but I never understood the anger some people had over the removal when it's as easy as just using a small USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack converter to use wired headphones.</p>

<p>Heavy industry can also cause these kinds of power surges to happen.<p>Last year an aluminum smelter in Iceland had a transformer blow which caused a big power surge on parts of the very well developed national power grid. The surge caused damage to electronics in some households and companies near to the smelter.</p>
