The no exceptions noted piece is kinda funny. Most SOC2 auditors at least put in the minimal effort of finding one person who didn’t do their cybersecurity training, so the report’s not total boiler plate.

Probably not, in fact your auditors not being terribly thorough might be a selling point. But your clients, who are the ones asking for the box to be checked, might. In my experience, clients don't dig deeply into the report or the aud

One of my vendors recently disallowed registering ngrok URLs for testing webhooks. They said they were too unreliable — and the vendor was getting blamed for ngrok failing to deliver requests. Seems like a real shame that they’ve been aband

When requirements change, a compiler has the benefit of not having to go back and edit the binary it produced. Maybe we should treat LLM generated code similarly —- just generate everything fresh from the spec anytime there’a a change, thou

Kinda seems like we’re rapidly headed for the complete collapse of the internet as we know it. Every site that is driven by user posting seems to be headed towards being overrun by AI bots chatting with each other, either for sake of promot

While true in the abstract, this administration has also dismantled numerous things that are mandated by congress.

It almost seems like this whole feature is designed to invite law suits. Seems pretty likely usage of Grammarly's core product has cratered in the past few years. Not totally hard to imagine one of the big AI labs paying their legal fe

If your in the Apple ecosystem, Soulver is a similar app to this that is really great. I still like it better than the math built into notes for anything beyond basics.

I’ve definitely consistently seen people who can take a wildly complex bug-ridden Rube Goldberg machine that was impossible to change and break it down into a simple understandable system get promoted. These people are generally the best en

Like 20 years ago OS X server had pretty great support for it. I worked a university lab and had an account on the lab server. I could walk up to any computer in the lab and login and get the exact same desktop experience with all my files

This sort of highlights the meaninglessness of GitHub stars? React has been around for over a decade, and in that time pretty significantly impacted web dev paradigms (along with a few other mediums). It’s hard to imagine being a web develo

Word of warning: at some companies “solutions engineer” just means “demo monkey.” The sales people don’t really know how the product works or how to use it, so you are brought in to do the demo and answer questions and that’s about it (and

Exactly — that’s why SaaS isn’t going away.

I have heard this from execs at public companies as well. I think a HUGE part of this appetite is that today no one has yet been subjected to doing business on a bunch of apps cobbled together by vibe coders. They are just hearing the promi

TailwindUI isn't really what I'd consider SaaS -- it was a buy once and download software product. That means to keep making money they need keep selling new people. According to them, their only marketing channel was the Tailwind

"visually by capturing Xcode Previews" is probably the thing that will make this worthwhile, also if it's able to interact with the simulator that would be killer. Beyond that, I'd just keep using Claude Code in the term

No, but they care about how quickly new features can be added and how frequently bugs pop up. And clean code still impacts both of those, even in when AI writes the code (or writes articles like this).

To me this tenacity is often like watching someone trying to get a screw into board using a hammer. There’s often a better faster way to do it, and while it might get to the short term goal eventually, it’s often created some long term prob

The fact that they didn’t make STRICT default is really a shame. I understand maintaining backwards compatibility, but the non-strict behavior is just so insane I have a hard time imagine it doesn’t bite most developers who use SQLite at so

I bought the book of his work that was on kickstarter a few years ago, because ski maps are something I've always kind of loved. Honestly it was a little disappointing -- the maps in the book are just the paintings of the mountains&#x2

You should shop around! Some of the MVNOs are offering unlimited fast data at a similar price these days, and something similar to what you have now for cheaper.

Last time I had to call AAA to jump my car, the guy opened the hood very carefully and told me he’d had three rats jump out of engines at him that day, presumably because of the “soy wires.”

And they know when it’s right and wrong. Recently I asked Claude if I should convert my LLC to an S Corp for tax savings, and it sang the praises of how much I’d save if I did this. When asked my accoutant, he pointed out that since I live
