"These recent clear stock pumps from the Musk/Trump partnership have evidently worked with retail investors as per JPMorgan’s data. It prevented the stock from going too low before Q1 delivery and earnings results.
But the results are coming and Tesla will likely have the lowest deliveries in the last 10 quarters and one of the worst earnings performance in years – leaving those retail investors holding the bag."

New GenAI memo: What role do developer skills play in AI-assisted coding?
https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai.html#memo-13
After my mini rant about Vibe Coding yesterday, I'm following it up today with a list of examples of AI "missteps", illustrating how developer skills still very much matter in agent-assisted coding, and ideas how to mitigate that.
This title should read "The end of remote work doesn't work for families".
And contrary to the paragraph in the article, it doesn't work even for executives who hire or delegate as a substitute to family ties. Watch any stupid US Xmas movie if you don't understand why.

The Daily Beat: 19 March
On the 112th day of continuous protests, demonstrators once again blocked Rustaveli Avenue. Their demands continue to be the same: calling for new elections and the release of all individuals arrested during the protests. Additionally, students held a separate rally outside the Education Ministry before joining the protesters near the parliament on Rustaveli Avenue. For …

Sometimes we don't notice how our activism shapes national politics. But it does. We don't see it, because we're busy acting. People that have to change plans because of it are much more attentive to it.

The Mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoglu, and several other senior members of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) were detained early this morning. The arrests come just days before the opposition party was expected to officially nominate İmamoglu as its presidential candidate. The CHP will hold primaries on Sunday, March 23, to elect its presidential nominee, and İmamoglu was widely considered the most likely choice. He had unofficially announced his candidacy earlier this month.
Protesters chanted, “Mayor Resul is not alone!”, “Mayor Ekrem is not alone!” and “Detentions, arrests, and repression will not scare us!”, BirGün reports.
Emma Sinclair-Webb, the Turkiye Director of Human Rights Watch, condemned the detention of İmamoglu and other senior CHP officials, calling it a blatant abuse of the judicial system, Reuters reported.
Words of support for Imamoglu came from the French Foreign Ministry, whose spokesman said that the arrest could have grave consequences for Turkish democracy. The Foreign Ministry in Berlin called it “a step backwards” for Turkiye. The Council of Europe condemned the arrests as a move against the will of the people. The mayors of Athens and Thessaloniki also voiced support for the Istanbul mayor in social media posts.
In the wake of the Wednesday arrests, the Turkish lira crashed by 12% to an all-time low of 42 to the dollar.
Access to several social media platforms, including X, TikTok, and Instagram, was partially restricted in Turkey this morning.
Imamoglu’s arrest came a day after Istanbul University announced annulling İmamoglu’s diploma in line with a move by the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor’s Office questioning the legitimacy of his higher education credentials.

The U.S. government is taking people off the street and sending them to the place in the bottom picture without charges filed, no arraignments, no due process and without notifying anyone of the people’s whereabouts.
El Salvador intends to never release anyone from CECOT.

Around the world, economic policymakers are adapting to the reality that President Trump could upend their plans at a moment's notice. https://t.co/IuKRfwLHiJ

We see Tesla failing on the market, but Musk has seen this from the inside. That's why he jumped ship long ago. Just google "Tesla insider"

Duolingo's "make as many mistakes as you need" is probably the worst statement in the history of education. Not that making (and supposedly correcting) mistakes is not good for learning. The problem is that they make you pay for this feature of an app that doesn't have much learning success to brag about.
