Meh, people have their own interests and values. And you can't force people to spend money no matter how much you may disagree with them Bring on the Chinese, fuck the Americans.

This is why I love IT conferences. I can chat up random strangers about topics that we're clearly both interested in. The vendors also send the most extroverted folks who are skill…

I lie too.

Honestly, this is HN and founders should pay attention to this. People don't want to host their own shit, they want a one-click easy switch. All of these alternatives have baggage.…

Remember when Tumbler banned porn? People migrated to other platforms like Reddit, and it died. Musk being a Nazi made twitter lose big enough chunks of their community to start Bl…

The lowest grade I got in my business degree was in the "IT management" course. That's because the ONLY acceptable answer to any business IT problem is to move everything to the cl…

You want a mess? Put together a nice and clean price list for your friends in the purchasing department. I dare you.

This is actually one of their smart decisions. "Copilot" is currently going through the corporate regulators, who know nothing about technology, but I can't buy it until they say e…

I kill jobs for a living, and always wondered when the promise of "Low code" would kill my job. Turns out AI reduces the barrier juuuuuuuust enough for competent managers and clerk…

It's really nice that I can still post here anonymously. I really only come here for tech news, but I doubt ICE cares.

I'm in public sector IT and yes, Microsoft Canada is considered a Canadian company. And yes, it's dumb as hell. As a response to the tariffs we were told to use Canadian companies,…

Come to the dark side my friend. Embrace Oracle Apex.

Ops vs Dev Situational Leadership gets into this. You want a really efficient McDonalds worker who follows the established procedure to make a Big Mac. You also want a really creat…

Titles in of themselves are meaningless, I've seen a kid hired straight from uni into a "senior" position lol

JIRA is a great example. I used to have automation when it was hosted on prem and I had database access. Now it's locked into the cloud with piss poor APIs so they can sell you mor…

Gabe is literally practising Noblesse Oblige, which is really funny but really shows that our billionare society is really just a reduction to old aristocracy. He's just the good D…

Security is an optional feature? You must be a sales executive...

It was, repeatedly. It's a very important historical document that defined negative rights (congress shall pass no law) and inspired most modern constitutions. The problem is the U…

In parliamentary systems we see fractures and reformation all the time, including in the current political climate in the UK. Duverger's Law is only really parroted by Americans, w…

Hilarious that redditors think calling a call center will do anything, they've clearly never worked at one. Call center employees are nothing to Visa/Mastercard executives. And tho…

I've lost 100 lbs twice. You absolutely can outrun a bad diet lol. It's just a LOT of exercise and counting all of your calories. A 1600 calorie bag of chips is 4 hours of cardio :…

Fuck no. AI/LLM is a tool like any other and we need to keep on top of it. If anything it needs less politics, I have other sites for that bs.

Probably browsing without an adblocker. I do the same on my work laptop so that I don't have to factor that into troubleshooting front-end issues. The non-ad-blocked web is fucking…

Perception is reality. In my experience, if you're a "useful" employee to your management you are boxed into tactical. If you're "valued" then you are invited into strategic decisi…

Lies. Fucking lies. We were a three environment shop until we moved to Exa and the compute/$ ratio is so bad that we had to cut it down to two. But we're talking about Oracle here …
