Why write deterministic JavaScript when AI can generate it on the fly?

Vibe solidarity! I have a 2009 with manual everything - even the old crank windows and manual door locks. This truck seems right up my alley.

I recently demoed one and the immersive feel is insanely realistic. I was blown away. At the same time, I’m not sure how I’d use it. I had hoped it could allow having a multi-scree…

This is one of the best arguments I've heard. SaaS is valuable because it's Software as a SERVICE. More often than not, the software by itself doesn't have much value without the t…

The disadvantage is not just to early startups. I have ownership in a 9-year old small software company that has never taken investments and has managed to break even or be slightl…

Access was pretty incredible for what it is/was. I could build a structured database with a nice UI for non-data people, reports, and even more advanced things like automated email…

No magic formula, but in my case I worked for a research & evaluation office at a university for a number of years. I did everything from tech support to building small databases. …

"...failures more often come down to a misjudgment of market need, growing too fast, and overly idealistic visions (all things, notably, that VCs encourage)" So avoiding VC funding…

I think we're conflating two different things. "Do nothing" in the example given was to basically ignore the person and hope they figure it out. Responding quickly and being availa…

If your relationship with the requestor is a mentor/mentee or you are their supervisor, then sure, go ahead and let them stew a bit to see if they can figure it out. If you are in …

Please don't follow this advice if you are in any kind of IT support role. It may make sense for developers who need large blocks of uninterrupted focus time, but even then the iss…

I just don't see that working in practice. I've worked hard to build a small company and can't imagine losing 1% a year. The longer I work the less I own. If this was the reality, …

I'm not saying to stick the middle class with the tax bill - just pointing out that taxes on the rich usually end up being paid by the middle class whether intended or not. The bet…

Some are. We live in an area where annual taxes are about 2% the value of the home. Home values have been skyrocketing and taxes along with them. Some people on fixed incomes can't…

But what is the solution? Most wealth of people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos is tied to ownership shares in their companies. I don't think it's fair to force them to sell shares s…

100% agree, though a good ORM handling migrations can be nice as it documents how the schema has changed. Just be sure there is no schema logic that exists only in the ORM and not …

How much of this is due to the growth in labor force in general and the prevalence of dual income families. See: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/wb/data/facts-over-time/women-i... . I…

As a founder who has operated in all the different roles, this game really illustrates the importance of JIT and continuous flow, which can be very hard to do consistently. Nice wo…
