Especially interesting that the company started succeeding during the time period that he was off playing with Twitter and running that toy into the ground.

I agree with you. That's why my comment talked about objective quality, not subjective value. You are debating subjective value to my argument about objective quality. If we are talking subjective value, then yes Tesla definitely wins.

I love when people say this. Because it tells me that they have never actually driven a sports car before. When tesla owners say "sporty" they mean acceleration. Yes Teslas have mad acceleration. Not disputing that. But thats not

The quality of Tesla vehicles are objectively terrible. I had looked at purchasing one 4-5 years ago when they were all the hype and I walked away from the test drive dissapointed. Yes you push the pedal and it go fast. Everyone with a Tesl

I've heard some auto analysts suggesting that Tesla's trick to drop their car prices was not necessarily an act of desperation, as much as an action of opportunity. While all other car manufacturers are upping prices and increasin

After watching the video, it seems that they are distinguishing it by the fact that it was a man-made object created for the specific purpose of producing music. This of course still allows for other pre-existing natural objects to be used

I've built many CLIs with Cobra and haven't found it all that intense. I've built incredibly simple, single function CLIs up to some incredibly advanced CLIs that the entire company relies on daily. I like Cobra because it gi

The confusion comes in the color versus the process. I've seen some recipes call for "cook down onions until translucent and caramel in color". This is the most accurate definition of what most recipes want when asking for ca

I was confused when I saw them mocking error budgets at the end. It shows that they don't understand what error budgets are. What they describe themselves doing is basically an error budget by a different name. We have an error budget

I agree with you, but the article specifically mocks error aggregators and says that there is more value in relishing each error. This is counter-intuitive, but seems to be what the article is suggesting.

This article comes off as "holy than thou". While maintaining what seems like ignorance in the "haute culture" that they mock. Their primary point of "read every error" is one that almost no one would truly deb

Both Docker and Jetbrains are working on software projects just like the rest of us. There is still boring shit work to do that no one else wants to do, so they need junior devs to shovel it off to. So yes, they have juniors, mid-levels, an

That is a valid thought experiment. I would say it isn't too dissimilar from nuclear weapons. A handful of powerful countries have access to this and any smaller country doesn't. It creates a large separation between 1st world cou

The fact that every job on the planet requires a bachelors degree now has done a real dis-service to the entire education system. It spawned a whole host of new institutions that only want to pump out degrees that cross the absolute minimum

Who's going to tell OP about RSS Feeds? After that I want to hear when OP learns about copyright law. You can't just republish another site's work (especially one that has lots of lawyers) as your own.
