You clearly have no interest in understanding who he is or his *key* role in this whole situation. Happy for you that you are not hurt, many aren’t, but you are not helpful for the many who undisputedly are damaged. You are throwing pebbles in from the cheap seats. If you are not going to invest any time researching and understanding this situation then just go take a motorcycle ride, remember to wear a helmet.

@SHass90 @spittinchiclets @ScoutingTheRefs Fair point. I misread it.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@SHass90 @spittinchiclets @ScoutingTheRefs Made up and published immediately??? See point (ii)

@v239856 @BoringBiz_ No. Not yet. Hint, Twitter wasn’t cut 80% because of AI. It is now the leadership fashion to make dramatic cuts for any reason. AI is now one of those reasons, but this trend has been in play prior to AI becoming a viable reason for cuts.

@mattorb I knew OG Google was ‘the one’ when I started shrinking my query length and it still, almost telepathically, gave me the results I needed. Now I give LLMs less, not more to figure out which ones are Alta Vista or the next Google.

@SatiristVulcan @honeybadgermom @audrawrongspeak It’s in the first chapter, legit quote.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@yukihiro_matz The relative consistency in coding standards, idioms and best practices should also lend well to LLM code generation, especially when combined with a steady framework like Rails.

@zilasino I found RSpec’s DSL approach awkward/unecessary. Whenever I tried to use the more advanced lifecycle and setup features of RSpec they didn’t work at all or were inconsistent with the docs. Whenever using it with Rails the test data setup/lifecycle is not in sync with Rails’.

@ianlandsman @_swanson Other factors: Regulatory prevention of acquisition only intended to eliminate competitors in order to establish market dominance. Zero interest rate driven investment gravy train gone, probably for good; endless subsidizing of market share no longer feasible.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@ianlandsman @_swanson Shopify may not realize those savings directly via Once, but indirectly this will shine a light on the obscene inefficiency of the SaaS marketplace. The 'free then gouge' pricing model driven by VC market capture chess games will collapse and Once is only one factor of many.

@smashedracquets @WallStreetSilv Definitely an attempt to slew foot and prevent the player from having a clear lane to the slot. It just got out of control, but I don't see how this was something inevitable. Looking for something that might have spun him involuntarily, but sadly, I just don't see it.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@BrandOnePix @NHL_AaronWard Right?! How do you justify the ridiculous offside review policy but you can't call for a review on something like this? It makes no sense.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@SpiritofPines The ownership/service experience is vastly different. I think that had as much to do with Toyota’s decision as anything. I always have a positive service experience at Lexus. I begrudgingly endure my Toyota experiences.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@cotneit @37signals @dhh So coffeescript back to javascript (when he deemed it was good enough, also publicity stunt)? Understand the dude's history. Why do a publicity stunt for something you make no money from? You are missing the main point.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@schleyfox @Airbnb Large consulting organizations are going to use two overriding criteria in their decision: (1) what skill set do I currently have on my bench and (2) how easily can I hire that skillset in the market. Technical merit is a distant 3rd. They also love, love, love a rewrite.

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@schleyfox @Airbnb Developers love a rewrite, but it rarely is the right thing to do for the organization (super for building resumes). What bias did they bring to the table?

[Brad Schneider @bradsnide]

@paulg I can't think of any previous technology where 'what you see' is so different from 'what is actually going on under the covers' combined with the relative ease of determining who understands that and who doesn't. Perhaps that is the filter weeding out nontechnical founders?
