What mythical private sector accountability are we talking about? A government agency didn’t build the software, it was a one man, private sector company. Maybe the moral is not outsourcing every last thing in existence?

The downside to bootstrapping your own company is also no work at all —- not to mention the intense stress as you burn through your savings. Starting a company in the US is one of the easiest things to do, maintaining it is one of the harde

That’s the default of the package managers (i.e. composer, npm, etc) not the language. Setting up a virtual env for Python is a one liner. Hardly messy. I’d argue that deploying a Python web app with mod_wsgi or gunicorn isn’t any more dif

The slip is that they aren’t developing AI for the betterment of human kind, just to better sell to you —- so you keep buying more crap. At least that was my hot take.
