Absolutely no enterprise - I work in enterprise cloud consulting - absolutely no company would trust Grok with their IP compared to Anthropic or OpenAI with Musk’s reputation on ho…

This is completely illogical. There are a lot more dark pattern tracking that websites can do across websites than native apps without a user’s permission

People have been saying that Apple was going to require apps to be sold through the Mac App Store since 2010. You can install anything you want on your Mac. And if only mean old Ap…

The Pixel only sales 5 million a year…

From a usability standpoint. Do you expect everyone to wear glasses? Are people going to all be out in public talking and doing hand gestures as input to their glasses? You don’t n…

It’s not hard to look at sales volumes of any of those to know that they don’t have mass market appeal - except maybe the Amazon devices and even Amazon cut jobs in that department…

Most of my work these days are around the AWS SDKs and Terraform. I always just say “verify the APis on the internet”. Now, AWS has a documentation MCP server that can integrate wi…

Or fail miserably…

I agree with his sentiments and his examples. But my fear is that on a place like Hacker News, people might not understand the difference between his advice and trying to have a su…

You didn’t real need a transition, just USB C to USB 2.0 cords and USB C to HDMI cords. Unless you had the MacBook with 1 port.

I have been buying cheap knockoff lightning devices since my iPhone 5 at least. I can guarantee that random Chinese manufacturer wasn’t selling lightning cables in bundles of 5 for…

There were hundreds of devices on Amazon that never paid Apple a fee to use Lightning. And as far as USB C on Macs, are you complaining that Apple used an industry standard port?

I am working fewer hours. I at most work 4 hours a day unless it’s a meeting heavy day. I haven’t typed a line of code in the last 8 months yet I’ve produced just as much work as I…

If you are “consulting” on an hourly rate, you’re doing it wrong. The company and I get paid for delivering projects not the number of hours we work. A smaller project may just say…

You really think that people at BigTech are doing it for the “enjoyment” and not for the $250K+ they are making 3 years out of college? From my n=1 experience, they are doing it fo…

Well I have personally tested it on the green field projects I mostly work on and it does the grunt work of IAC (Terraform) and even did a decently complicated API with some detail…

I’ve been a “software engineer” or closely adjacent for 30 years. During that time, I’ve worked for small and medium “lifestyle companies”, startups, boring Big Enterprise, $BigTec…

In all fairness, this is the AWS “house style” of writing and you will find older pre LLM posts that sound just like this.

I’m 51 and have had 10 jobs over 30 years. Those jobs have been everything from startups, to boring stable small and medium “lifestyle companies”, to boring big enterprise, to $Big…

You only die once - you live everyday…

Yes and developers these days don’t know assembly like I learned at 12. Does it matter? I’m sure the list of things that you don’t know that some other developers do know is long. …

No the Supreme Court said a long time ago that a company has “no duty to deal”. Meaning it doesn’t have to do business with anyone it doesn’t want to.

Rclone with aws s3 Glacier Deep Archive storage class is about $1 a month per TB. I didn’t use rclone. I just used native AWS cli commands. But I’m an AWS guy and already had my ow…

There is a huge difference between a president using the “bully pulpit” and threatening to take away a network’s broadcast license because they said something he didn’t like. That …
