This is why I hate the "marketplace" of these stores. In many cases these products never hit their inventory at all, they are functioning like a search engine and payments processo…

It is really trendy? I don't think important, irreplaceable or integral are semantically equivalent. Required and necessary almost get there. The point is that if you want to remov…

Guaranteed issue can be achieved without requiring "free" checkups. However, it can't be achieved without the individual mandate. And no one has shown any interesting in enforcing …

What do you replace it with? "necessary dependency"?

People do write like that. Claude learned it from somewhere, after all. I read an X post yesterday where someone was complaining about "genuinely" as being an AI tell. I think the …

Perhaps we can blame exposure to actual pathogens which resemble the pollen in some way, triggering a misdirected immune system response.

> What do release trains have to do with SAFe? An Agile Release Train (ART) in SAFe is a long-lived, cross-functional "team of teams" (typically 50–150 people) that plans, commits,…

"release train" ... "learn how to ship software faster" SAFe is poison.

I am really tired of the lazy argument style of using "corporate" as a synonym for "bad". I too think it's bad to encourage addictive gamblers. I don't care if it is corporate, ind…

It seems like things have ended up in a better place than they started.

For me, the push to single page applications and the unnecessary complexity that brought with it made me just sick of fooling around with web things- we had solved the problem and …

I think it depends a little on what your intended head is? Headless CMS is just CRUD UI for a database that has an API.

This is where John Gall's Systemantics comes into play, “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition a…

I have 10 Claude agents running so I am able to develop years of experience in parallel.

They sued both.

I am trying to explore the ways in which the IPO, in particular, separate from the continued operation of the company, is evidence that blocking M&A is good. I have seen nothing fr…

They were independent the whole time and it wasn't considered a success. I suppose IPO is an indicator they might stay independent longer. Now that they are in the public markets e…
