I an Jack’s complete lack of sympathy.

I’m team old folks on this, youngun

Looks like it always has, to me.

I used kustomize to build an ArgoCD install at a previous company, and I was impressed at how powerful it was. Our setup was pretty involved, and kustomize was able to handle all t…

I work at Grafana, and Jsonnet powers our whole k8s infrastructure. It can get a little baroque sometimes but overall it’s tremendously powerful, and it’s fun to work with.

Apple Watch was and is a huge hit.

Musk is different from the other people in Trump’s orbit. Trump can’t afford to throw Musk aside or turn him into an enemy. Not yet anyway. This is not to say that there won’t be a…

Are you sure? He used it to help get Donald Trump elected, and now Musk has an unassailable position in government and tremendous power to steer government spending to his business…

I'm with you! I kind of love GitHub Actions, and as long as I keep it to tools and actions I understand, I think it works great. It's super flexible and has many event hooks. It's …

OK neither GPT-4o nor myself is great at counting apparently

Its first answer of 12 is correct, there are 12 _unique_ characters in https://google.com .

(Thank you for the reply by the way, I didn't know that about the 0.15%!)

That seems...fair to me? Apple makes a phone a lot of people want to buy, and adds NFC to it to enable mobile payment, and they provide security guarantees for the end user and the…

Regarding the Apple Wallet: what about it is uncompetitive? I can add credit cards from many providers to it, and as far as I can tell Apple doesn't get anything if I add my Chase …

What would you suggest?

I would say that a sprint is fundamentally about delivering a valuable Increment. Something useful, some kind of meaningful progress. You can start to use past performance as a way…

None of the things the author complains about are specified in Scrum. The Scrum guide states that the developers choose the work: "Through discussion with the Product Owner, the De…

This whole episode gives the lie to this concept of building the company for the good of humanity. The real players here care about humanity about as much as Elon Musk does. Altman…
