A bit different but in the same domain GitNexus has been really good for me. Symbol based search and impact analysis. Once I added git hooks to auto index and added some explicit instructions it saved quite a bit for me. I have no affili

It is likely we need to see it crash first. I am not in this industry but it does make sense to me that it gets easier after the current owner gets wiped out, banks take possession, value gets marked down, and then money gets spent on the

My social circle was largely nomads when I lived there so I was very aware of CoLiving, CoWork, and other business almost exclusively catering to nomads. Those exploded in number during this time period. Poblado was already one of the rich

You haven’t lived in Medellin, Colombia if you don’t think digital nomads can have an effect on housing prices. My experience is from 2015-2024. I did the digital nomad thing for 9 years and lived in Medellin 4 separate times over that per

Yeah I know. That is their moat. I was more responding to the assertion from OP that running in prod is what makes a product stable instead of tests. I was trying to call out that SQLite often credits their massive test suite for their st

Not weighing in on this specific rewrite but tests are how you specify that your software works correctly. If a behavior isn’t covered by an automated test in some form you can’t assert that any given change doesn’t break it. I think it is

They have all the endpoint protection stuff on this machine. It just seems to run better. Or it could just be that the M5 is doing laps around the Windows workstations but I didn’t think they were that far off looking at the spec sheets.

If your workflow benefits from the speed it quickly pays for itself when factoring in developer salaries here in the US. I recently switched companies and they bought me an M5 Max 128GB as my dev machine. Builds and local test runs are 3 t

Yeah taxis in the capital and small people movers to go from hotel to beach is where these will shine. EVs are especially well suited to stop and go traffic as well. People are so caught up trying to solve every use case at once. Dropping

They need to split paying customers off onto dedicated infrastructure. I know that you get that with some enterprise offerings but I don’t believe the normal paying customers get that treatment. It’s clear they have massive scaling challen

Seems like it acted in accordance with the 1st law. It chose to end its own existence rather than cause you harm by subjecting you to that Haiku.

After adding an adversarial review gate to implementation plans and code I saw large uptick in quality. I use Opus 4.8 as plan writer and orchestrator. For adversarial reviewer I use GPT 5.5. I still find things to tweak and fix up but th

Look at SpaceXs filing. There is one but it is super short. I was just pointing out that 365day lockup is likely incorrect and OP doesn’t really know that until the filing is approved and becomes public.

Until recently companies that IPOed weren’t immediately added to the major indexes so there was a longer period for price discovery. This year that changed; so you have retirement funds that typically are more conservative acting as exit l

Going to give the benefit of the doubt here. I know what lockup period means. 365day lockup isn’t a universal standard. For example for SpaceX 20% of insider shares can be sold in the first few days. 100% within the first 3 months. Withou

S-1 isn’t public yet. Source on the lockup period? SpaceX for example filed with accelerated release of insider/investor shares so I don’t think we can know if this is the case until the filing documents become public.

Total market indexes and target date funds will include this and SpaceX on float adjusted basis I believe. The blast radius is much larger than funds that track the NASDAQ directly.

Still the wrong response. Discipline the people abusing your trust. Part of being a good manager is knowing when to step in and have a private conversation with people before things get too bad. If the bad behavior continues then you foll

There are European cloud providers though. American hyper scalers are not the only option. Lidl, Hetzner, OVH, ..etc. I can spin up a dedicated server within 24-48hours or a VM within minutes on OVH. Also there have been plenty of white

There are plenty of EU domiciled Managed Service Providers who do have the skills though. Having your government infrastructure run in country and managed by your citizens seems like a good idea just in general. It helps to develop local s

Their EPS is also up 37% GAAP / 10% Non-GAAP YoY and they beat their forecast. They aren’t hurting for money. https://newsroom.cisco.com/c/r/newsroom/en/us/a/y2026/m05/ci...

Specs weren’t the problem with waterfall. The difficulty in changing them to match reality was. The waterfall process I experienced went like this: - Product folks created requirements - architects produced detailed specs - project manager

It just means that when changing a global default with such impact the user should be prompted with an option to opt out of the new behavior. Something like “AI assisted changes will now have ‘coauthored by Copilot’ added to the commit mes

Changing the default behavior for all of your users with no notification is pretty unforgivable. Even if this feature worked correctly, it obviously doesn’t, this should at minimum be a prompt after upgrade to let the user confirm that thi

Not sure of what current prices look like but an old desktop sitting on the floor of your office might work well for you. You would need decent internet but running a single node kubernetes cluster as a GitHub action runner has worked well

I stay 1 major version behind with MacOS. If you do that you should have a pretty stable experience. You still get all the security patches but skip most bugs/regressions.

Also the article doesn’t attempt to explore the business and resourcing constraints they were operating under at the time. I have been in situations where I was told “don’t worry about cost just get it done”. Then a few years later the bus

That is the wrong way to look at it. If this requirement was in place they would be a bit more careful about terminating accounts because the cost equation would incentivize it. Maybe they would be more careful in their automation or requi

Apple is in the process of fixing Tahoe which was a regression from Sequoia the previous release. Tahoe is decent with 26.4 though from what I am hearing. Either OS version is far far better than regular Windows 11 though. Apple’s real di
