    What a random way to find out a stand up comedian I see now and then share a craft!

    Nice! Had a burnout, a kidney stone and was laid off before even hitting 25! Sounds about right.

    As someone completely removed from the Pearl ecosystem, I thought this might be an Open Core something from Roku after the recent acquisition news.

    Twitter had been around for a long time and could very well be considered feature complete and run with a skeleton crew. They don't own any mission critical software and in the day…

    I would say that in general dynamic type languages are problematic in a large codebase without strict safeguards (Any everywhere, untested paths, lack of test coverage, large metho…

    The team got greenlight to more tokens and the problem should be fixed soon. Fingers crossed. /s source: voices in my head. Not affiliated with MSFT.. anymore.

    Only reinforces the point that relying on american infrastructure as a critical piece of your stack, in 2026, is a liability.

    It's 100% a HMI and moving costs to the other end of supply chain. We can have optimized automation in warehouses/logistics, but if you talk to any site manager you learn very quic…

    Layoffs in EU happen all the same, they are just sprinkled throughout the fiscal year to avoid legal disputes due to the number of people let go.

    Everyone wants to be the One to rule them all. I just want to retire in the Shire away from this AI non-sense (no jabs, just mild burnout).

    It's B2B/Enterprise in the driver's seat to keep revenue coming. Usability and polishing of the products is locked in the trunk of the car. source: been there.

    I would go either with Ubuntu or Fedora. The entry barrier is lower, they work well and shouldn't be too troublesome to install/maintain. Then check whether you prefer Gnome or KDE…

    Good that they got some money and a longer runaway, but I have my doubts the product will improve rather than be smothered to death. Embrace, extend, extinguish. Time will tell.

    I believe Microsoft biggest achievement is being capable to stay relevant for the past 50 years, largely due to enterprise. If you take a close look as an user, all their products …

    Take any of these videos with a grain of salt. In demos these robots only need to do well once and it can take hours to record. In real life, a failure rate of 80% is unnacceptable…

    I believe some problems in the field are now easier, we haven't made a dent on the truly hard ones, IMO. source: I work in the field.

    Cynism and burnout, but if you are in a dysfunctional it's hard to move away from that either way.
