Yeah I know. That is their moat. I was more responding to the assertion from OP that running in prod is what makes a product stable instead of tests. I was trying to call out that …

Not weighing in on this specific rewrite but tests are how you specify that your software works correctly. If a behavior isn’t covered by an automated test in some form you can’t a…

They have all the endpoint protection stuff on this machine. It just seems to run better. Or it could just be that the M5 is doing laps around the Windows workstations but I didn’t…

If your workflow benefits from the speed it quickly pays for itself when factoring in developer salaries here in the US. I recently switched companies and they bought me an M5 Max …

Yeah taxis in the capital and small people movers to go from hotel to beach is where these will shine. EVs are especially well suited to stop and go traffic as well. People are so …

They need to split paying customers off onto dedicated infrastructure. I know that you get that with some enterprise offerings but I don’t believe the normal paying customers get t…

Seems like it acted in accordance with the 1st law. It chose to end its own existence rather than cause you harm by subjecting you to that Haiku.

After adding an adversarial review gate to implementation plans and code I saw large uptick in quality. I use Opus 4.8 as plan writer and orchestrator. For adversarial reviewer I u…

Look at SpaceXs filing. There is one but it is super short. I was just pointing out that 365day lockup is likely incorrect and OP doesn’t really know that until the filing is appro…

Until recently companies that IPOed weren’t immediately added to the major indexes so there was a longer period for price discovery. This year that changed; so you have retirement …

Going to give the benefit of the doubt here. I know what lockup period means. 365day lockup isn’t a universal standard. For example for SpaceX 20% of insider shares can be sold in …

S-1 isn’t public yet. Source on the lockup period? SpaceX for example filed with accelerated release of insider/investor shares so I don’t think we can know if this is the case unt…

Total market indexes and target date funds will include this and SpaceX on float adjusted basis I believe. The blast radius is much larger than funds that track the NASDAQ directly…

Still the wrong response. Discipline the people abusing your trust. Part of being a good manager is knowing when to step in and have a private conversation with people before thing…

There are European cloud providers though. American hyper scalers are not the only option. Lidl, Hetzner, OVH, ..etc. I can spin up a dedicated server within 24-48hours or a VM wit…

There are plenty of EU domiciled Managed Service Providers who do have the skills though. Having your government infrastructure run in country and managed by your citizens seems li…

Their EPS is also up 37% GAAP / 10% Non-GAAP YoY and they beat their forecast. They aren’t hurting for money. https://newsroom.cisco.com/c/r/newsroom/en/us/a/y2026/m05/ci...

Specs weren’t the problem with waterfall. The difficulty in changing them to match reality was. The waterfall process I experienced went like this: - Product folks created requirem…

It just means that when changing a global default with such impact the user should be prompted with an option to opt out of the new behavior. Something like “AI assisted changes wi…

Changing the default behavior for all of your users with no notification is pretty unforgivable. Even if this feature worked correctly, it obviously doesn’t, this should at minimum…

Not sure of what current prices look like but an old desktop sitting on the floor of your office might work well for you. You would need decent internet but running a single node k…

I stay 1 major version behind with MacOS. If you do that you should have a pretty stable experience. You still get all the security patches but skip most bugs/regressions.

Also the article doesn’t attempt to explore the business and resourcing constraints they were operating under at the time. I have been in situations where I was told “don’t worry a…

That is the wrong way to look at it. If this requirement was in place they would be a bit more careful about terminating accounts because the cost equation would incentivize it. Ma…

Apple is in the process of fixing Tahoe which was a regression from Sequoia the previous release. Tahoe is decent with 26.4 though from what I am hearing. Either OS version is far …
