Given that there is a team of suits behind this thing I wouldn't be surprised if this thing is riddled with sponsored content in 6 months. Just look at bloatware apps like Glance in India, or current crop of Redmi/Vivo phones to s

It was plain intimidation by the founder and further doubling down on it made it pretty clear where they stand ethically. Whether someone wants to let the behaviour of a company's founder color their judgement of the company is upto th

At this point Apple is the only BigTech without any major investment in LLMs. Which isn't too surprising, they have historically never jumped on the shiny new thing until the dust clears off.

While your comment is valid, there's a whole generation of developers (me included) who are more aware of Node ecosystem than Nginx.

Unfortunately Amazon is one of those companies which can get away with this. Moats so strong that they could completely fuck over (as they have been doing for a while) their employees but will still end up okay as a business. CEOs with moat

Honestly Bluesky is more obsessed with Twitter and Musk than probably Twitter itself. I spend a few days on there after getting the invite and didn't enjoy the experience. Every other post was making fun of Twitter/Musk and for so

I like Elixir as much as any other guy but I am not going to chose it for my team because it was "easy for programmers to understand" If you wanted something that was easy you'd go got Golang or Java, not a language without t

You'd be surprised at how many places this is. At a place I worked the management decided that a "story" should always be completed within a sprint. So what did we do? We started using stories instead of tasks and epics inste

Even though a small example doesn't highlight the advantages well, I still prefer the PRQL syntax in this because that reads like map/filter code I'd write in some programming language. So the mental model seems easier to me

As long as OpenAI and others in the LLM space are for profit companies should start charging them heavy fees for their data. Surely there will be more novel knowledge in the world produced after 2023, and these companies will need that

It has been infinite scroll for a while for me, which was fine but seems like they did that just to pave way for their second trick: displaying ads interspersed with actual results. IMO the only things distinguishing ads from actual results
