If you like building keyboards, you’ll end up using a couple of these.

I have 6!

As someone who partially uses depot but was still affected by this github issue, we obviously haven't moved over enough. We use your runners but github is still blocking us.

Hope you don't mind the public ask, it seems useful for others.

If we're using depot runners, and want to use them directly, or move off of github actions being the controller for when things run: what do you suggest?

Trigger the workflows directly on depot via CLI?

Ugh, same. 30 mins with 2 devs trying to figure it out before they posted an update.

1 ticket: you can only sell back, no name change. You’re solo, not going with anyone, this works.

2 tickets: you can either sell them both back, OR change ONLY one name once. This means you have the option of buying two tickets up front, before you lock-in your companion.

It works well, I’ve experienced this for festival tickets.

Same, our team has been on it for a year and it's very good.

I wouldn't say "buying software that saves us time" is gambling, but you do you.

It’s not 17m for an idea to improve git.

It’s 17m for a tool which hopes to serve companies and charge money and make more than 17m in profit as a result.

If you look at the set of dev tooling, teams will frequently pay many hundreds per dev on things like CI, Git tools, code review, etc.

And to be fair, GitHub is really quite bad for a lot of workflows. I haven’t used gitbutler, but my team pays ~$30 a month per dev for tools which literally just provide a nicer interface for stacking PRs, because it saves us WAY more than that in time.

This isn’t even an egregious example of VC, it’s just an enterprise dev tooling bet.

Anecdotally, Claude has worked far better for our elixir team than the others we’ve tried.

> I totally support the phone-free bar and restaurant experience

If you then expect an exemption because your phone use is different then I challenge that you don’t actually support the experience.

If you want to read news in a phone-free environment: bring a newspaper, a kindle, etc.

100%. I have a guiding approach when solving problems: keep reframing and exploring until the solution becomes obvious.

I often find, if I've got a complicated solution, it’s because I haven’t fully examined the problem.

Author’s central point is that an LLM answer “is optimized for arrival, not for becoming” (to paraphrase from the Google “Lucky” part).

So a reasoning LLM that does the comparisons and checks “like a human” still fails the author’s test.

That said, this still feels like a skill issue. If you want to learn, see opposing views gather evidence to form your own opinions about, LLMs can still help massively. You just have to treat them research assistants instead of answer providers.

That episode, and this Gavin quote, encapsulate the attitude perfectly.

“I don't want to live in a world where someone makes the world a better place, better than we do.”

I upvoted because I’m very keen for more teams to start trying to solve this problem and release tools and products to help.

Context gathering and refinement is the biggest issue I have with product development at the moment.

If you remove a reaction to politics and/or management practice, this is quite an obvious question, no?

Hypothetically: Substitute Microsoft for a company with “zero downtime” as one of their company values.

Now imagine you were asked “What impact did your actions have in contributing to zero downtime at Hostingsoft?”

That wouldn’t be a controversial question.

Random data point: I'm in the UK and have visited Serbia twice for Skiing and time in Belgrade. It was a cool place.

That's with a naive stereo split. Many would still put the bass on one side, with the binaural processing so it's still heard on the right, but quieter and with a tiny delay.

Your comment wasn’t wrong. Neither is the reply wrong to be frustrated about how the world understands this complex topic.

You’re talking about autism. The reply is about autism spectrum DISORDER.

Different things, exacerbated by the imprecise and evolving language we use to describe current understanding.

An individual can absolutely exhibit autistic traits, whilst also not meeting the diagnostic criteria for the disorder.

And autistic traits are absolutely a variant of normalcy. When you combine many together, and it affects you in a strongly negative way, now you meet ASD criteria.

Here’s a good description: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/what-is-autism...

Minor correction: the water is evaporated. It remains in the water cycle but is removed from the water source for any downstream users.
