Vibe coded an app and IT won't let you push to prod? We can help!

[Retool @retool]

93% of CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs we surveyed are alarmed about vibe-coded apps in their orgs.

Today Retool becomes the governed runtime for all of them.

Was in the #Retool sales kickoff this week. Exciting stuff here and more is coming. AI is great for prototyping, deploying to Prod, not so much, unless you have a framework like Retool that nails the security and governance side of things.

@reason Hey did you stop using editors? In this article: https://t.co/AZiJmoH4AR he claims violent crime rose, and the link IN THE ARTICLE shows it dropped. WTF - read Radley Balko's piece that actually makes sense https://t.co/TvQFQdNDcp

@ethanjweiss Is it any surprise that Vinod Khosla is a rent-seeking douchebag? This is the person who bought a house on a beach in Half Moon Bay, then tried to restrict public access to it! https://t.co/sLKHX5OJgi

[Spike Cohen @RealSpikeCohen]

On this day in 1985, Philadelphia police bombed a residential neighborhood, killing 11 people, including 5 children, and destroying 65 houses and leaving over 250 people homeless.

Why?

Because a handful of people were resisting arrest.

Prior to the bombing, Philadelphia police fired 10,000 rounds into the neighborhood indiscriminately, before ultimately deciding to airdrop bombs on it, despite knowing there were many children present.

All of this, in order to capture a handful of members of a group called MOVE, who were resisting arrest.

I'll repeat that a 3rd time:

The Philadelphia government fired automatic weapons and dropped bombs on a community with children, then allowed the fire to spread, because some people were resisting arrest.

Afterwards, the city rebuilt the buildings they destroyed. They were poorly constructed and fell apart quickly. The community is still scarred to this day.

No one from the government was prosecuted, of course.

When government tells you to give up your guns and let them "protect" you, this is what they mean.

@politicalmath @iowahawkblog Would be a lot more fun to see these grandstanding senators demand google and Apple come down and answer their questions about why they aren’t applying their own policies, but that would take intelligence.

@JosephSteinberg @EdKrassen So like Mencken: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
