@iNishant Lol, it's same here for me. They never fully understand the gist of changes no matter how detailed the PR or the Agents.md is.

@RishiJoeSanu But we do need new cities right?! Our last new city was Chandigarh built in 1950s.

AI is so good at searching codebases that I can't imagine doing that manually now.

Another beautiful morning and another cybersecurity leak. Brutal days ahead in software world.

[GitHub @github]

1/ We are sharing additional details regarding our investigation into unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories.

Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

Honestly thought we were just bad at ops for a while.

Turns out a lot of early-stage companies deal with the same mess.

That’s part of why we’re building Jupikit.

You start a company thinking about product, growth, hiring.

A few months later you’re digging through Slack screenshots trying to remember why a payment happened and searching invoices for GST details again.

Didn’t expect this to become such a big part of running a company.

Video from 2018. In 2019 Parandur identified as one of the preferred site for new Airport. You voted for drama your offspring will pay the price.

Yall aren’t ready for this conversation, but the “Fix Everything Easily Switch” is literally just Neoliberalism.

For a brief period of time I thought RLS was cool. I was so wrong.

[Jamie Turner @jamwt]

RLS is bad architecture. there's a reason convex doesn't do it

I know it's Monday morning, when I get woken up by scam calls

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

Here goes the last 9 of GitHub, we are officially in the endgame.

Even that half decent super power comes from the writers themselves so idk what is the comparison for

[Heisenberg ☢ @internetumpire]

@DeaDu_ Batman wouldn't win against anyone with half decent super power without a writer saving him.

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

@RishiJoeSanu Maybe we judged him too harshly

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

@RishiJoeSanu I like that the word "slopulists" is catching on.

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

@monali_dambre f1tv is still available in India tho, have been using without any issues.

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

Cloudwatch is the most egregious one out of this list. Absolute dogshit performance and borderline useless.

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

The essential AWS engineering cheatsheet:

EC2 → servers
Lambda → fake servers
EBS → hard drives
S3 → slow hard drives
VPC → LAN cosplay
IAM → permission denied
CloudWatch → "we have datadog at home"

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

Imagine wrecking your team budget by creating too many PRs. So much for being productive.

[ben hylak @benhylak]

thank you, that'll be 25 dollars please

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

Max had a great recovery today p6 from p20. Can't complain.

[Ajay Karthik @ajaydottxt]

Ruined the my Sunday morning perfectly. All the work Leclerc put was for nothing at end.
