Reminds me - I was working for a Canadian network equipment manufacturer and at one point a client in Asia was trying to get support for a bunch of units of uor hardware (modems). Long story short, turns out they bought knock offs that didn't even bother changing casing leaving contact info on modems for our company.

They are making more money than ever before. Maybe Meta leadership doesn’t really care about having a coherent strategy at this point. They can afford to flail around to see if something sticks. Reminds me of Rich kids who have ability to travel the world and find themselves before settling into a career

You'd be surprised. Every software application has bugs. If customers are willing to give you money despite bugs that's a very string signal in favour of your product.

That's a problem for you — the customer - not for Jeff, the VP.

In the West, decline of living standards and continued decay of institutions. Probably very few organizations actually benefit from LLMs, mostly bankers.

Elsewhere? who knows

It probably has to do with what technology people are used to. There has been a couple of generations of web developers who have only known javascript and its ecosystem for building webapps, and so anything other than pure javascript solution looks foreign.

I've seen enough degradation of the models I pay for from Anthropic to not bite. Fable will work fine for the first couple of weeks and then start degrading like previous models did.

Top 1% are too divorced from the real world to have ever seen a cog.

Currently rewriting nextjs app into sveltekit. It’s going surprisingly smoothly. Don’t know about svelte vs react yet BUT sveltekit is far more straightforward than nextjs has far better DX and is somehow faster

I don't understand why cloudflare is loved by tech people. They ARE breaking the web.

Why should you posses a homestead? What value do you produce that droid can't that would make you deserving of anything at all? Why should corporations that design, manufacture and program the droid not own the land instead?

We need to very rapidly decouple human worth from the economic lens otherwise the economic argument is against humans.

For whatever reason zed takes forever to paste on my m1max MBP. Im talking at least 1.5s for a paste a few characters from clipboard or to duplicate a line.

I am afraid to give agents ability to touch git at all and people out there let it know things about their infrastructure. 100% fault on the operator for trusting agents, for not engineering a strong enough guard rails such as “don’t let it near any infrastructure”.

HA! I Love it! It's a been a while since I felt this sort of joy exploring a new way to navigate

It will take some time for Quarkus to become a significant enough presence in the market share. In my experience, for the majority of Java shops Spring Boot does just fine because it worked before and it will probably work in the future.

This is still relatively tame! I've seen stuff where there are layers of annotations some of which will spawn docker containers effectively bringing docker compose into java application as part of the set up. Some containers would need to come up, do a quick file change, then die and the the rest of configuration proceeded (this was for an automated test tool). Entirely stupid, could have been written with just couple classes of Java and a docker compose. But it is a culture. It is a culture that I think ultimately will destroy Java.

You have worked at some outstanding java shops then! In my experience the article is precisely representative of Java culture even today

This is very interest to me because we have accumulated a few node packages containing logic that services simply import. So in theory I could now use those node packages in elixir?

UK absolutely needs to be thought of in the same way we think about Russia or Belorussia, or China.

Tariffs, forcing capital into 7 very large companies instead of small startups, wage suppression through weird offshoring and immigration schemes so on and so forth. There are seemingly unending number of issues that all contribute to the same outcome we're seeing today.
