Nice! Had a burnout, a kidney stone and was laid off before even hitting 25! Sounds about right.

As someone completely removed from the Pearl ecosystem, I thought this might be an Open Core something from Roku after the recent acquisition news.

Twitter had been around for a long time and could very well be considered feature complete and run with a skeleton crew.

They don't own any mission critical software and in the days it went down after Elon started pulling the plugs, the only thing that changed was the people going to reddit to complain about stability.

I would say that in general dynamic type languages are problematic in a large codebase without strict safeguards (Any everywhere, untested paths, lack of test coverage, large methods with different return scopes, etc.).

I've worked a long time in C++ land in large codebases and the issues there are different, but to undig a project from the spaguetti land is like pulling teeth.

The team got greenlight to more tokens and the problem should be fixed soon. Fingers crossed. /s

Only reinforces the point that relying on american infrastructure as a critical piece of your stack, in 2026, is a liability.

It's 100% a HMI and moving costs to the other end of supply chain.

We can have optimized automation in warehouses/logistics, but if you talk to any site manager you learn very quickly that no one wants any downtime or impact to their operation to introduce new machinery or optimize traffic, etc. If it is not built with that from the start it's very hard to introduce it later on unless there is a very clear deployment path and cost structure.

And boy, robotics currently has any of those today. Sure, move those billions in to R&D. Time will tell.

Layoffs in EU happen all the same, they are just sprinkled throughout the fiscal year to avoid legal disputes due to the number of people let go.

Everyone wants to be the One to rule them all.

I just want to retire in the Shire away from this AI non-sense (no jabs, just mild burnout).

It's B2B/Enterprise in the driver's seat to keep revenue coming. Usability and polishing of the products is locked in the trunk of the car.

I would go either with Ubuntu or Fedora. The entry barrier is lower, they work well and shouldn't be too troublesome to install/maintain.

Then check whether you prefer Gnome or KDE as the looks and go with what you find cooler.

I've used Ubuntu most of my career and it's solid, these days I'm testing Fedora at home due to some nitpicks I have, but both are good options.

Good that they got some money and a longer runaway, but I have my doubts the product will improve rather than be smothered to death.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. Time will tell.

I believe Microsoft biggest achievement is being capable to stay relevant for the past 50 years, largely due to enterprise.

If you take a close look as an user, all their products is half-baked in some way (inconsistent behaviors, dark patterns, poor support, etc.), good enough so they can lock you in and hold your data hostage with time.
