No surprise, LLM companies optimize for waste. More tokens, and more prompts means more revenue. Reminds of Google’s Prabhakar Raghavan story: deliberately making search worse [1] …

Any recommendations for an OSS maps app that provides tracks like Strava,l and Komoot?

You shouldn’t use ORM entities as domain models. The domain should not depend on anything from the integration layer (db entities, REST request/ response, etc). Ideally models are …

Scaleway and OVH. Upcloud close second.

At this point Anthropic is a pure marketing and PR company. Super catchy names like Opus, Mythos and Fable trying to get you to think that these software products are actually supe…

I think saying no is more important now with AI, as features can be built so quickly now. But there are a lot more costs after the feature has been built. Mostly with AI the code i…

Same here. They’re subsidized by taking kids’ privacy.

Please not the schools. We don’t need privacy-invading closed systems with built-in slot machines. We need deterministic open systems where kids’ privacy is protected. Please not s…

Drilling alone is €10.000. The whole installation of a air/water heat pump is €10.000. Mostly not worth it.

I think Microsoft’s home game is “monopolize and enshittify”. They are the masters and know the exactly what amount of enshittification is too much. E.g. Hashimoto quitting GH is p…
