If the goals relate to maintenance and viability, we’re looking for a minimum threshold of implementation. Amazon and Microsoft have a lot of stars, both have ‘more than enough’ to care. If the goals are marketing or targeting or mass-marke

The cloud has never been about absolute cheapness, but value for money and time-value in starting up. The classic Enterprise model is to fire up a business operation using cloud providers to extend geographically, and quickly validate the b

Same answer, wrap you usage and use the wrapper for agonistic testing & coding. That’s the entire point: my domain code ‘stores’ something, my implementation decides if that is S3 or a fixed kind of error or writes to a disc. If my doma

… “Smile while you train”, ie make training fun, results in not training? That is nonsensical. You can’t figure out how to make lifting fun? Bruv, google Eric Bugenhagen. Shirtless, 70s rock, singing out loud, a tye-die hairband, strong

A wise grinder once told me a powerful secret, the key to perfect running form: the sides of the mouth curling up in a giant smile. Phoebe running, rejecting social norms, gettin’ dirty, futzing with trail plans… there’s no rules, have fun.

So, why not write to a shared wrapper/facade? If you split the interaction API out to an interface detailing actual program interaction with the service, then write an s3 backend and an FS backend. Then you could plug in any backend

So we have a bunch of imposter syndrome techies who would 5x with just a hint of encouragement, and now we’re trying to 2x them with LLMs, but in order to get there those same techies will have to gas up and inspire the LLM with the leaders

I don’t know if people think this way anymore, but Python gained traction to some degree as a prototyping language. Verify the logic and structures, then implement the costly bits or performance sensitive bits in a more expense-to-produce

From the browsers perspective those are the same thing though. It’s a paradigm boundary. The real answer is to have desktop applications that work like applications (buttons do what feels right), and websites that work like websites. SPA, i

I published my first website in 1995 (and while it wasn’t even a little popular, eventually a spammy gay porn site popped up with the exact same joke name, leading to a pretty odd early “ what if you search for your own site ” experience).

VOCs and carcinogens are a health hazard. Asthma, kids development, allergies, and occasional migraine trigger. It’s not random we call it ‘dank’ or ‘skunk’ and if it’s good it should piss off your neighbours. It’s 2026. Dry flower vapes
