And this needless drama is relevant why? Can we keep that on the fediverse please?

Yeah, and we'll see them fail trying to roll their own excel. It's such a stupid economic decision to even think of that ... I can't even. So I heavily disagree, still. Software doens't need to be perfect, it needs to be

If someone chooses the 1h free hack, sorry, you're doing business wrong and focus on the wrong things. A mindset that keeps you small. You gotta invest in stuff that makes you money and solves your problems. If that's what makes m

So creating skills/MCP servers itself and basically change its own nature is not a new thing? Clawdbot was the first were it worked really well. So I'm not sure you actually used and experienced it? Cynical comment is what it is.

Sorry, this take just shows that you probably are not running a business. Having someone dedicate their whole business to a solution to one of your problems will most likely get a better result than you doing a hackjob you can't even m

They really need to correct that. I understand jack shit. Is openclaw banned under these terms? Or just abuse where I build a business on top of that? And why does it matter anyway? I have my token restrictions ... So let me do what I want.

Yes. > Would a guild system be perfect? Obviously not. Would it create new forms of exclusion? Probably. Would medieval Florentine weavers recognize the problem we're dealing with? I suspect they'd find it eerily familiar. Stil

What on earth? We could just let the processes play catch up instead of bringing medival (like literally) ideas back to life. Guilds are the worst fucking thing. We still have those in Germany and I despise it so much. Fucking IHK and other

You missed my point. Upfront cost is not the only cost in business. And I still stand by it that shared infrastructure costs for example are way more efficient than everyone doing a half-arsed version of whatever it is.

Thank you! I don't get how so many people want to see dark patterns everywhere. All arguments miss the big counterargument: in a world where you have competitors, even free ones, you can't fuck around. You need to get it working.

Both can be true: people who deliver products based on vision and all are very much needed and cracked devs who excel in technical details as well. Peter and you are of these respective groups then.

This is the lifecycle of SaaS tho. It opens up opportunities for competitors to launch and build something more nieche, which is good for customers. And then it repeats

Because these stupid takes are everywhere. It's engagement bait and causes uncertainty with a lot of folks. My LinkedIn is full of that. Just shows me how many people aren't able to think critically and for themselves, blows my mi

Outlets could be a key here.

AI is not killing SaaS, there is no real proof for that. No one wants to host, maintain, and be liable for shit other people can do better for less money. You share R&D costs with other customers. It's more efficient. This take is

... I know. But what do you think I meant when I said "Klarna" in the context of this discussion?

Breaking infinite scrolling on these apps is one good step, but for me it's something else that would be more important. I'm recovering from a surgery and can't do much besides existing. So I'd like to scroll to keep me

The argument was, at least how I read it, that europe doesn't rely on credit that much. My argument is: we do. We just don't have 20 credit cards at a 45k debt level. But we have enough other stuff.

by RamblingCTO 8mo ago
It is not. https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/private-debt-to-gd... The widespread use with "buy now pay later" also counters your wildly baseless claim. Klarna, PayPal 30 days etc.

Are you saying only French companies build defense stuff in France or it's the only country in Europe that builds defense stuff in general? Germany has quite a lot of defense companies that supply half the world I think.

by RamblingCTO 8mo ago
This. We don't have to accept that they behave that way. They enter our economies so they need to adhere to our laws. And we can fine them. No one wants to lose Europe as a market, even if all the haters call us a shithole.

Frankfurt has been doing that for ages (2 years now?). They just got better scanners. But they don't cover all terminals or checkpoints, so you gotta know your way around.

Sounds like a problem not worth solving? In my wework the handles get wiped down as per the cleanign protocol. Takes what, a second? The costs are marginal.

I felt lonely most of my life. Social anxiety didn't help. Therapy did. Now I build a life focused on that very much. I go to work at wework, talk to people *everywhere*, joined a bunch of run clubs and just prioritize social stuff. If

But postgres is a professional tool. I don't argue for "use enterprise bullshit". I steer clear of that garbage anyway. SWEs always forget the moat of people focusing their whole work day on a problem and having wider access

But hacking and tinkering is a hobby. I also hack and tinker, but that's not work. Sometimes it makes sense. But the mindset is often times "I can build this" and "everything commercial sucks". > take a half work

Because we want to work and not tinker? > It won't be quite as powerful as the commercial tools If you are a professional you use a proper tool? SWEs seem to be the only people on the planet that rather used half-arsed solutions ins

In this thread: people throwing shade on tech that works, comparing it to a perfect world and making weird assumptions like no tests, no E2E or manual testing just to make a case. Hot take: most SWEs produce shit code, be it by constraints
