Some of what you’re saying is likely true but quality is something that will never be optional. There is quantitative data suggest that LLMs perform better on higher quality code b…

Quality is different than something that feels “special” which every Ferrari I’ve sat in or drove has in spades. Whether or not it’s well put together is another topic entirely.

I don’t understand why anyone is jumping to conclusions about anything before anyone has driven it. A Ferrari is about driving, and while it wouldn’t surprise me that the driving e…

Large Apache ecosystem (Spark, Flink, Pinot) is completely missing and third-party SDKS (looking at you AWS) almost ALWAYS have worse SDKs. The java Kinesis consumer and producer l…

The speed is really cool but the fact that your rules are written as rust code meaning that new rules need a new binary. That might be fine but just wanted to point it out to anyon…

> A huge number of people are convinced that OpenAI and Anthropic are selling inference tokens at a loss despite the fact that there's no evidence this is true and a lot of evidenc…

Have you never run a team of software engineers as a lead? Agentic coding comes naturally to a lot of people because that's PRECISELY what you do when you're leading a team, herdin…

Nice straw man. Nobody is talking about banning anything, we’re talking specifically about holding social media companies accountable for marketing to children a product that is kn…

I think people are overreacting about what amounts to a patent. There's no evidence if BMW will actually use this and if they do how. I'm not defending BMW here but there was a sim…

There’s a million reasonable situations where this pattern could arise because of you want to encapsulate a domain behind a micro service. Take the simplest case of a CRM system a …

I don’t think renting or buying makes a difference in communities. I had a much better relationship with my neighbors when I rented vs now where I own my own home. I chalk up the d…

I agree with you 100% as someone who's developed on and run many Kubernetes clusters over the years. Picking a choosing what to use can be daunting. That said, the path to ease of …

I am a graduate of Khoury and find this very disappointing. I wasn’t a huge fan of learning Scheme/Racket but after looking back during my career I’m grateful for the education I g…

I have no idea why anyone would use Cognito unless they don’t care about availability. Almost every other SaaS vendor supports multi-region active-active and Cognito does not.

I haven't looked at Cloud Run pricing but running Kubernetes in the cloud is pretty cheap these days and my experience with solutions like Cloud Run in the past is that they end up…

It varies state by state in the US but the level of insurance you're required to buy for operating a vehicle is incredibly low. Generally, the level of insurance you must buy is di…

As someone who worked at a very large SaaS company this is a good recommendation if the vast majority of your customers come from large enterprises with competent IT departments. T…

I was also the SAML person at one point in my career and I 100% agree. I used to laugh at all the HN criticisms of JWT because of how much of a nightmare SAML is.

I personally love sports betting and I’m glad that it’s legal to do and I don’t have to send money to the Caribbean to do it. For me $10 is enough to get me interested in a game an…

I’m not saying I agree with the comment above you but Kubernetes upgrades and keeping all your addons/vpc stuff up to date can be a never ending slog of one-way upgrades that, when…

The Tesla subreddit collective proactively bans people who comment in any sub-Reddit they don’t like. I dropped a drive by comment on a subreddit that was Tesla related but apparen…

That and the fact that in the US the car is tuned to only turn on the range extender when the battery is nearly dead and it can’t always keep up. Thankfully it’s trivial to change.…

I can tell you that I worked at a large company that was moving pieces like identity and secrets management to SaaS or open source solutions years after rolling their own and faili…

The high price of Hashicorp doomed them in the end. I don’t know what their financials looked like internally but the quotes we got from sales reps got them laughed out of the room…
