I retired in January 2026 with $780,000 saved and by March I was back applying for part-time work — not because I needed the money but because inflation had made my ‘enough’ feel like barely surviving and I couldn’t watch my future shrink in real time

Despite meticulously saving $780,000 and running the numbers a thousand times, I discovered that early retirement's biggest threat wasn't an empty bank account — it was the suffocating anxiety of watching inflation transform my "freedom fund" into a ticking time bomb.

Some people aren’t quiet in meetings because they have nothing to say—they’re running an internal cost analysis on whether their contribution will be remembered as insight or remembered as the moment they overstepped

Some people are not quiet in meetings because they have nothing to say. They are running an internal cost analysis on whether their contribution will be remembered as insight, or remembered as the moment they overstepped. That calculation happens fast, usually below the level of conscious thought, and it is one of the most underrated ... Read more Read more

Даже бесплатное внедрение обречено на провал, если бизнес не готов к переменам

«Самые прекрасные решения, основанные на анализе огромного количества данных и обещающие миллионы рублей экономии, будут бесполезны, если клиент или его бизнес не будут способны их внедрить».Такой вывод мы сделали после анализа нескольких проектов, которые так и не вышли на финишную прямую. Ниже — детальная история одного из них. Она началась с публичного скандала, продолжилась подписанием трёхстороннего договора на бесплатные работы, а закончилась чувством облегчения от провала.

«Склеить параметры»: параметризация для экспертизы ЦИМ и не только

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Татьяна Козленко, я координатор по технологиям цифрового моделирования в команде девелопера ПИК. Хочу рассказать про автоматизированную параметризацию в Revit с помощью инструмента «Склеить параметры». Также освоим три сценария подготовки модели к экспертизе ЦИМ и настроим параметры в семействах кабельных лотков. Работа с параметрами в Revit часто превращается в рутину. Особенно остро это чувствуется на финальной стадии выполнения проекта. Этап экспертизы и выпуск спецификаций требу Read more

AI inference на K8s: как выживать с LLM в кубере. DRA, GIE, LLM-D

Для многих обывателей, да и инженеров, которые не углублялись в тему, работа с LLM выглядит как работа с обычным сервисом: мы просто кидаем запросы по нужному endpoint и получаем JSON с ответом. Но на деле появляется много вопросов: как здесь работает кэш? От чего зависит время ответа? Что делать с огромным контекстным окном? И если у нас один GPU-сервер, на котором происходят все вычисления, то это не так и важно.... Read more

The standard reassurance about artificial intelligence and work — that it will not cause mass unemployment, that history shows technology creates more jobs than it destroys, that the people warning about robots taking jobs have been wrong for two centuries — happens to be technically correct and almost entirely beside the point.
