    This one was sarcasm. Sorry for making you work so hard to detect it.

    I don't know, Oracle historically has a very chill, almost laissez-faire point of view on licensing.

    I get nothing of the power fantasy, of it, but I do get joy out of vibe coding. As I've gotten older, the amount of ideas I have here and there has remained constant, while the tim…

    Flight Control HD was one of the first iPad games I had. I under-appreciated how much easier this game was with a finger than a trackball.

    Liability is the answer! If you build an auth system and it fails, it's your backside. If Okta fails, it's theirs. Enterprises buy products as much as they buy protection from prob…

    I vaguely remember that from the Scion days. I wonder what that does to liability? Like if it's something that impacts the safety of the vehicle - like a roll bar? - who takes on t…

    Wraps exist for folks who pursue it, which is always going to be a subset of those who only look at dealer / manufacturer options. Being able to get a wrapped vehicle off the line …

    What happens when your engineer realizes they can make 10x more at another company? They leave and work stops. You then hire someone else or raise your pay to get better, more reli…

    Open your wallet and pay someone who can? We used to call those technical cofounders, right?

    Formatters and linters fix the mistakes made by people who know what they're doing. They do nothing to teach someone how to do something for the first time in a way that supports c…

    Help desks and canned replies - if a user complains about X, respond with Y. We used to just have humans do it, but turns out machines can do that bit, too, especially if the quest…

    I'm kind of feeling similarly, albeit I've been a Lifetime holder for a while now. So on the other side of the coin is what it would take for me to finally leave. In retrospect, Pl…

    I disagree it's a cop-out, but I agree it's hard to get good at writing prompts and takes a lot of effort. But so is programming. We're trading one skill set for another and gettin…

    You're right, I didn't, because that isn't the measure of his leadership, which was my whole point. > All that matters seems to be "did the line go up?" Exactly.

    Is Zuckerberg retiring already? I'd gladly same the same about him then. But this isn't about any of those companies.

    I'm not going to argue your wants with you because they are your own. Don't buy Apple products if you don't like the way they operate as a company. I don't particularly care for ap…

    It is so easy to sit on and critique from the sidelines. Steve Jobs had a passion for product, and it showed - he pushed the teams to make things he approved of, and that was the m…

    That adds up over time, though, and it works in reverse. AI will always be able to read and write faster than a person can. You may be able to write the script, but in the time it …

    `ollama serve` and `ollama run` The devex is great and familiar to folks who have used Docker. Reading through the Lemonade documentation, it seems like a natural migration, but we…

    I feel very torn between the “make something” or “buy a Slylight” decision, so I’m curious what makes it better in your eyes, so much so that you don’t think it’s worth attempting …

    There’s nothing stopping both from happening together.
