Just as a reminder this subject of AI replacing developers come up all the time but it has not happened yet. People want to focus on AI but the same problem has always been there f…

Mobile software belongs to the platform because that is where the money is. Apple does not make most of its money from selling phones. It makes money on things like iTunes, AppStor…

Excellent article. This deserves more attention. The successor to WebSockets, Web Transport, is to be based on HTTP/3 QUIC. I don’t think that will be faster. It’s hard to tell bec…

This will sound counter-intuitive but start with a product, not a solution. Build something that does something practical. It’s way less effort to pivot something you already have.…

Regardless of whether Dunning-Kruger is real the solution is the same. DK concerns poor performing people who cannot accurately address their performance relative to a group. Forge…

Why don’t you answer that for me. My outlier for today was this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49121138 What made that one special? I never expected this one to be u…

Transmission management. Right now MuleSoft is blowing up in popularity in the government sector, but it’s ripe for competition from a superior alternative. I know I could do it be…

There are many reasons. Some are ethical like conflicts of interest or bias. Some are financial like insufficient time or missing tools. Most commonly the cause is personality and …

Yes. A good percentage of Apples revenue comes from stuff like iTunes and App Store. I wrote personal web apps to bypass those on multiple fronts.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. My learnings about speed: * people tend to not measure things and when they actually do bother they tend to measure the wrong things, the things of …

I can tell you about being a 10xer imposter. Unless you are on a team building new products, new as original code and not some framework/SAAS with new branding, the goal is almost …

More likely is that birds move fish between bodies of water because of fish eggs they carry on their bodies. This is how most bodies of water become supremely populated in Texas. I…

I think people wish AI would succeed, especially in software, but this appears to be the only argument made. Numerically, AI still costs far more than it returns in value. Its a su…

That fabled line one must cross to achieve profit is ridiculously out of alignment with the current valuations on AI. Its why SPCX is falling like a meteor, currently at $111 per s…

These services do a couple of things: 1. They provide a VPN for your device to their server. 2. They then map that device to a public IPv4 address they own. The address is not stat…

I am on budget hardware. Do not let this stop you. I bought a really crappy cheap box for $300 before hardware prices went crazy. My hard drives don't even fit in the case. As for …

My hobby is self-hosting. * I have a dedicated server at the house where I run nearly a dozen services via docker compose. * I wrote my own audio app for playing my self hosted mp3…

I have toyed around with Arch and I really believe you can accomplish almost everything with it when other distros just aren’t as ready or capable. I rely on Debian for my daily ne…

Does that then make the title deceptive click bait?

> Ever since the first programming language the goal was to make the work easier The historical evidence disagrees. The point of software is automation and the point of automation …

I am looking at the subtitle: The future of software development will belong to those who can think clearly at scale, maintain durable mental models amid rapid change, and integrat…

I cannot speak for why everyone in the US buys solar. I can only speak for my local community. If you want to find locations of grid instability focus on growth, both residential a…
