If that happens, I'm betting they get slapped with something inconsequential like a $1 million fine and write it off as the cost of doing business.

Something similar once happened to me with an old domain with nameservers I had pointed to DigitalOcean from my registrar. Managing DNS through DigitalOcean (although, this should be possible with any DNS service) requires both pointing the

I'd be interested to see if the actual cost of AI will actually have any impact on how often CEOs end up talking about it. In my experience, there's a certain level of assessment that goes into whether or not a line item on your e

I've always felt that AI's main contribution to eliminating jobs is giving CEOs the ability to do layoffs while trying to both separate themselves from the current economic uncertainty and imply that they are an AI company. Compan

Perhaps I'm not totally clear on how this particular device works, but it doesn't seem like it has no ability to connect to the Internet. Honestly, I'd say privacy is just as much about economics as it is technical architectu

As far as the Salesforce acquisition goes, I'd be curious to see who made the decision to put Heroku into maintenance only mode. I worked for a different part of Salesforce. I don't really feel like Salesforce did a ton of meddlin

At my last job, we ran all of our tests, linting/formatting, etc. through pre-commit hooks. It was apparently a historical relic of a time where five developers wanted to push directly to master without having to configure CI. I too wa
