I agree with the sentiment but unless it leads to better financial outcomes for them to A) have engineers on staff and B) have them know their systems then enterprise will continue looking for reasons to shed all the engineers and just leav

Kinda curious why releases just aren't fully immutable? Sane semver would dictate any update should at least be a new patch release.

"I can guarantee you" without any backing evidence is the very definition of "Source: trust me bro". I think at this point this is just trolling.

You can suspect all you want, I'm not here to argue with anyone's strong feelings about crypto either way. Just that there's an established pattern to how this particular market moves.

I'm well aware it's not a guarantee of future returns but as I said in my original message, this is a well established pattern. Until there's definitive evidence that it has stopped acting according to that pattern I'm g

I'm not a TA nerd, but there is a very clear pattern that has been established. Crypto moves in cycles. You don't need to draw a ton of triangles and lines all over a chart to see the cycle this has gone through over and over.

Bitcoin (and crypto at large) goes through these 4 year cycles repeatedly. Each time people claim its dead, "this time is different", etc etc. It peaked at the end of 2024 and now we're in mid 2026...traditionally near the bo

So what's the moneyline on all these outages being the result of vibe-coded LLM-as-software-engineer/LLM-as-platform-engineer executive cost cutting mandates?

I've used macOS for development for 15+ years now but always built my gaming rigs using Windows. For the first time in my life I'm so annoyed with Windows I'm seriously entertaining the idea of putting SteamOS on my rig and f

Oh I'm well aware. When I was an EM for a bit last year a bunch of colleagues told me they used ChatGPT to write their reviews. It was gross and I always hand crafted, small batch artisanal reviews when I'm in the managers chair.

The content of the document matters too. I don't really care if someone was AI-assisted writing a project plan. As long as it's sane and clear I'm not gonna lose sleep over that. However for my performance review I definitely

I really love Gitlab CI. I don't miss managing my own Gitlab server but I definitely prefer their CI product to actions.

Individuals are rarely (not never, but rarely) the full problem. Groups of people are what cause feedback loops and cultural reinforcement like the author describes. Sometimes this is a virtuous reinforcement cycle but more often than not t

How is teaching your kids to invest some portion of their money "raising finance due bros and gambling addicts"? Just because modern culture has incentivized these kinds of people doesn't suddenly make investing bad. This is

What's the point of this comment? To discourage investing? Reddit-style shitposting? Not sure what you're going for here.

The world I knew in the 90's and 2000's is long gone and people are celebrating cruelty now. I want out.

Seems like the most reasonable answer would be to have days where no video was permitted, and days where it is. Then you can attend on the days where no video is permitted but the ones who like creating and uploading videos can have their c

I interviewed for an SRE position at Auth0 years ago. My interviewer told me it was all held together by duct tape and prayers. I'm glad I didn't end up taking that position.
