    Reading the comments the author is basically "one with ai" where his life is deeply integrated with ai agents. I have a friend exactly like that. And he has being doing it so long …

    As a startup I tried .NET (it was .NET 8), and it was great. The problem was the education around .NET. So much DDD-this, Clean-that, CQRS-this, architecture-that. I get all that s…

    While I agree with your point that it's sometimes about getting things done, but your example is flawed. Your example about gas-powered street lights is arguing for technology evol…

    I have charged clients first before I start. Most in full, some in part. The question "why would they trust me to deliver?" is a good one. And there are two answers: 1. How you sel…
