I hadn't heard of this project. However this did give me something to think about. I am working on a product I intend to open source for 18 months now. One thought I have had is how to keep people from thinking I vibe-coded the whole t

I am a solo developer. I write most of my code by hand. I use LLMs to help me do research and to help find stuff in documentation. I also use it to do come reviews since I don't have anyone else to review the code. I do get a lot of va

Microsoft built this so they can have a MongoDB compatible database service for Azure. A few years back MongoDB changed their license to AGPL to make it harder for companies to take their code and offer it as a service. They did this becaus

At a past job the security team wouldn't let us have netcat or curl on our systems. So I just used /dev/TCP to get around that. The ergonomics were not as nice as using netcat or curl, but it got the job done.

I am still using VSCode. I do have the Claude Code extension, but I don't really use Claude to write code. I mainly use it for code reviews. Since I am a solo developer it is nice to be able to get a second opinion.

There is a big difference between vibe coding and using an LLM to assist with coding. Vide coding is just accepting what ever slop it outputs and saying LGTM. You are not going to get quality code that way. You need to review what it does.

I was discussing this with a friend last night. If fuel prices get high enough I can see it happening.

In a past life I was a Domino admin and I ran it on an AS/400. It was great, handled incredible amounts of load, and required little maintenance. The only outage we had was when I accidentally deleted all the databases from the file sy

What about the old school processors like Authorize.net and Cybersource? It has been over a decade since I worked with them, so not sure what they are like now.

It has been 25 years, but back in college I had a job refurbishing and repairing PCs. Most problems were caused by cheap no name hardware. Most the quality hardware rarely had problems.

On a lark a friend setup Ollama on a 8GB Raspberry Pi with one of the smaller models. It worked by it was very slow. IIRC it did 1 token/second.

If you don't need color I recommend going with a laser printer. Not only for lower consumable costs, but better software support too. In 2009 I bought a Lexmark laser printer new for $120 at Frys. It has native postscript support, so i

The same way you handle any fraudulent charges. Notify the bank and they'll reverse the charges.

Pricing is something I struggle with too. I really need to figure out my pricing model and price point as it makes a difference to some deferred architecture decisions. I can't put the decision off much longer as I'm getting to th

My biggest issue at the moment is that development of the MVP is taking way longer than I had initially thought. It's just me working on it and it has turned into a real grind. I am just so ready to get this done. I could hire contract

I haven't seen the site you are talking about, but I use http.cat. It illustrates HTTP status codes as cat pictures.

In my sphere most companies are going to either Hyper-V or the cloud. Hyper-V kinda won by default as a lot of orgs already had Windows Server licenses.

Do you have any legitimate traffic coming from AWS? My thought is to just drop all traffic from their ASN. Once they can't contact you for a while they'll move along and you could unblock.

Same. I signed up, found the conversations to be unproductive and unhealthy and deleted my account.

At a past job we had an object store that used SwiftStack. We just used SSDs for the metadata storage but all the objects were stored on regular HDDs. It worked well enough.

Just from reading the posters comments and word choice, I don't think they are actually a manager. I think this is just rage bait.

He wasn't a programmer, but a big beard UNIX admin. Of everyone I've worked with in my career he has had the most influential. He taught me 2 core things. 1. Information is meant to shared. 2. Never do manually what can you write

I think a tool like this would be useful. All of our local startup meetup groups only do online meetings, so something to facilitate in person meetings would be good. I'm looking for a cofounder, but it would also be helpful just to ch

Since he is the RevOps guy, my first question would be how much is this going to save. Once you go to buy Google Workspace + Slack + Zoom + Jamf + all the other replacements. I doubt it is going to be any cheaper. --Edit to add. He says you

I don't use AI for writing code directly. If I am working with a new framework or SDK I'll ask it for examples of how to do something, and then write the final implementation myself. This saves a lot of time digging through poorly

That is an excellent price. Good option for folks that have old software and embedded hardware that can't be upgraded.
