I have rewatched this movie so many times and it was definitely one of the most formative movies for me as well.
(basically because every afternoon or most afternoon if there was no satellite connection I think, I would watch the movie and this was one of the only movies within the pen drives that I had I think.)
When I was in 5-6th grade, I even gave a speech in class about Steve jobs to one of the subjects which was more about personal development/personal trainer. The sir actually used to call me steve jobs afterwards for sometime whenever I used to meet him.
Man do I love pirates of the silicon valley, I really like this song[0]
and random trivia about this song, and that the director of the movie even commented on this song/youtube video (as the video is actually named: "What is the name of this music?") and it turns out that this is an unnamed song.
> As well as using a lot of 70's & 80's classic rock and roll classics appropriate to the era when Jobs and Woz were starting Apple, we also went for "sound-alikes" (for the Ella Fitzgerald number) and created some of our own music. This piece is one of those creations. There is no name for it that I'm aware of.
For what I am using it for, I recently wrote a little web app called Afterfeed [0] that lets you view backups from social media websites as a single unified timeline.
To put this into perspective, I was a voracious social media user for decades. For me, this is 25 years of data, close to 100,000 posts, spanning everything from LiveJournal in 2001 to Mastodon in 2026. But when put together, it is a timeline of my life.
As kind of a last minute idea, I added an MCP server because why not? Once I wired an LLM up to it, I could ask introspective questions and find new ways of looking at myself and my own history. Simple things like "what was I doing 10 years ago around this time?" to more complex things like researching past thought patterns.
Interesting idea. I left social media over half a decade ago and just nuked my accounts. Something like this could have been useful. Like a personal archive
Grievances against big tech - over issues like the stupendous amount of money being created for very few, and the damage being inflicted among many other things - have been building for years. Whether you view those complaints as legitimate or not very much depends on your point of view, but the anger is there, it is real, and it is palpable.
AI was the tipping point for a lot people, especially younger people. My teenager refuses to use it. Then, Elon Musk went to Memphis and threw gas on the fire, providing a perfect illustration of why people are so upset.
Data centers are an avatar right now of all of that because they are a physical manifestation of what people can't otherwise fight.
Conversely, I once had a very large yard for a suburban home, about a third of an acre. I sectioned my yard into about 5 sections, but I mowed pretty much the same way: whatever lines are longest without stopping.
The less time I spent in Alabama heat, the better.
