All the sites that I'm personally aware of are either NOT behind Cloudflare, are large and targeted, or are behind Cloudflare because they have actually experienced a DDOS attack(s). I don't know of anyone that is just sticking

Yeah, you need less admin, depending but not none. And AWS pushes you towards devops heavy solutions.

You can't. That's the use case FOR AWS/GCP. Once the differential between having a in-house team and the AWS premium becomes positive is when you make the switch. A lot of the discussion here is that the cost of the in-hous

I didn't say I was 10x faster so I'm not sure why you are accusing me of lying. What AI does is replace most of the junior engineers, some of the intermediate engineers and speed up your senior engineers. That's why you are

This is what I've been finding. Currently, if I have a junior level task, I take the email I would have sent to a junior developer explaining what I want and give it to ChatGPT/Claude/etc and get a reasonably good solution t

I have a lot of patience for disagreements and alternative solutions. But at some point you need to "support the group" and not re-litigate at every opportunity. I see that as the difference and when it becomes complaining and to

This is one of the hardest things to teach new developers doing code reviews: your way isn't better, it's just different. And, sometimes it may be somewhat better but not worth changing for working code. This is especially true

This is the hardest part of dealing with a chronic complainer: they think they are the only one "noticing a fire" and "getting sidelined" for raising flags. Often there isn't actually a fire, they're complainin

I think there are a bunch of people who would be ok with some kind of independent verification that was at least pseudo anonymous.

Not just being inflammatory, but most people who have a "if the government says they need to protect the children, I'm happy to give up a bunch of rights and privacy" reaction tend to be in the "ok with authoritarianism&

It's up to the people who WANT age verification to ensure that it can't be abused rather than up to US to prevent it from being abused after the fact. Invoking the "slippery slope" fallacy when the country with the great

We had a VP recommend "lines of code" as part of performance system. I showed some CVS stats of some of our key developers; one of our best performers was at -20K lines of code over 5 years.

I've been using LLM's pretty regularly for just over a year (my PyCharm AI license just renewed). My experience before that was pretty mixed and fell into the "sort of worth it" category. It's improved to the point
