There was a great article years back, on oped by guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani about the death of Shred music. In short: the way trends work is they get popular and then all the people already doing that thing get popular too. There is duri

Indeed. Duplicating Test and Prod can be tens of thousands of dollars (or more) a month. You have to invest big time in automation to build up and tear down any decent sized environment to save the spend there, and that itself costs money.

I have two separate and (mostly) unrelated feelings. Musk has done something remarkable as you say. At the same time, the market cap is nuts and a portent of doom. Bigger than all car companies combined, by market cap? A market crash could

Exactly so. I talk to scammers regularly. To waste their time, and also learn about what they do and how they operate. When I answer a call in my normal voice, they might hang up right away. They hang around more if I try and sound like a

OK. I will dive in as well. Programming needn't be hard for simple business problems. With how rich of tools are out there, every white collar worker would benefit from putting at least some scripting tools in their toolkit. Banging o

I recall from Chemistry: When hydrocarbons combust, the outputs generally are CO2 and Water. Driven home by living with a gearhead after college. At least some of the liquid dripping from tailpipes is water.
