    Again, I just don't think that is possible. If you have, even, 100 customers, you're going to have 100 unique code bases? How can a human tell if a prompt is reasonable for a parti…

    Maybe I'm a luddite, but this seems far fetched, to me. I just don't see a path for LLMs to make all kinds of changes to a codebase from non-technical people, correctly. Yes, LLMs …

    At least they are honest about it: > The planning is happening openly, including a voluntary separation window. That creates real uncertainty for our team over the next few weeks, …

    Curl is a lot more complicated than, I believe, you think. Most people know of it simply as a CLI to hit an HTTP(S) endpoint and write it out. But: 1. It supports basically any fil…

    I haven't been following it well but isn't part of the NYT lawsuit against OpenAI that it sometimes spits out NYT articles verbatim?

    I just had to upgrade my plan because I ran out of tokens because medium effort had dementia and things only worked on high. Good to know I'm getting my money's worth...

    I imagine that is because modern Broadcom is a different Broadcom, Avago bought and took the name in 2016.

    I have a few reasons: 1. I subjectively just like it better. Things like dtrace, jails, the init system, just click for me. 2. I think it's good to not support a Linux mono-culture…

    I am using it on a 12th Gen Intel (so a few years old), and it works great. I'm sure I have naturally acclimated and subconsciously work around things that I don't realize but susp…

    I agree with you. But I have to say, it is an uphill battle and all the incentives are against you. 1. AI is meant to make us go faster, reviews are slow, the AI is smart, let it g…

    I work with @lawnchair, so we both have been complaining to each other about how slow GitHub PRs are for awhile. It's wild that THE feature of GH is so bad! I have been using Argus…

    HCP wasn't any prize when they got bought, though, right? HashiCorp Cloud was more like a fog in terms of growth. A bunch of products got lost a long the way (Boundary? Waypoint?) …

    How does Encore handle the following scenarios? 1. I want to deploy to a testing environment where I may want to use different users, different sized services, or even mock service…

    The way I look at it is that TF has a limitation on state size. And when you hit that limit, you have to either slow down a ton or do a (big) refactoring. As comparison, if a progr…

    It has not been a challenging finding candidates for OCaml. For the most part, people who like OCaml are chomping at the bit to find a job writing it. And for those that don't know…

    The sense I get from some comments is that if you need a type system and to compile to an executable, Rust is the only option, otherwise you can use pretty much anything. But, as y…

    I'm the CTO of Terrateam. For "why not rust", I have found the downsides of Rust not compelling enough to use it. We don't need close-to-metal performance. We don't really need the…

    Certainly there are specifics between the type systems that differentiate. TypeScript generally chooses to enforce types in an ergonomic way whereas OCaml chooses to enforce types …

    Exactly! OCaml is the language I like to solve problems in, and I'm excited to solve problems in, so that's why Terrateam uses OCaml (I'm the CTO). You can do a lot (but not all) o…

    Hello, CTO of Terrateam here, the creators of Stategraph. As you said, the common practice is to use locks on state to guarantee that operations don't step on each other. This work…

    If I'm reading these five why's correct, essentially they just copied the code without caring, and then didn't want to let caring get in the way of their product announcement, and …

    I believe the DORA report has some information on this. Terraform/Tofu dominate, by far.

    The high-level vision of Stategraph is that the entire world's infrastructure should be representable as a single root module, with proper isolate and RBAC. It should scale and be …
