Ive been doing this for enough time. Code is rarely the hard part. Code rarely matters at all in my career experience. Shipping a working service or product matters and theres a lo…

Honestly that may be just the reaction the company was hoping for which is both valuable for you and them. You save time not going through an interview for a place you might dislik…

Its funny how some people react to these? I suspect you see them as time wasters which is why you end the interview. I see them as ice-breakers and rather enjoy them because they a…

AI makes you vomit because most uses of it are hamfisted attempts at doing a thing. People are going to eventually figure out how to polish and refine the usage and outputs so you …

Somewhat, but not totally unexpected: 1. Xbox is a known mess right now. Probably 2 or 3 years before it is sorted out or spun off as its own venture. 2. Windows devices are bread …

I dont think its a good model for America but if I were starting a country from scratch I might consider it. But I would also do stuff like a heavy death estate tax and disallow mo…

Doesn't seem that wild if youre doing large green field dev with frontier models. Im spending about 2-3K a week on personal projects and 5K a week on corporate stuff.

Their competitors eat them. I would not be surprised to see Oracle's cloud business get absorbed by IBM or Microsoft. Maybe Amazon. The extra DC capacity is valuable to a couple co…

Seriously its easy to build prototypes with AI and benchmark...

They absolutely paid someone off somewhere, let's be real.

You completely misunderstood what I was saying.

Hellscape? You mean money train! Fixing all these messes is gonna employ an industry of senior, principal and staff engineers for years.

Democrats aren't winning the Senate. They are not lock ins for the House either. I dont know what is so difficult about this for you.

Nothing of substance will change in 2026. That goose is cooked already after all the gerry mandering

Hahaha... regulation lol. That aint happening in the US. If you do see regulation it will be so crippled as to be meaningless but it'll give something politicians can talk about as…

Makes sense, get the kids addicted to gambling and pull them into the platform.

There might be some Aptiva EDO RAM sitting in my parents basement... Ill have to look next time im out there. Im not sure if I ripped it out and stored it before we sent the comput…
