If you think about it for like 5 seconds, it’s kind of wild that engineering priorities could ever be dictated by anything EXCEPT for sales.

[Richard Artoul @richardartoul]

sales driven engineering is not a dirty word at warpstream

@joshu It’s not just a way to store your worthless paper money — it’s a platform for actually purchasing and holding those worthless shares for eternity.

@richardartoul We ain’t seen nothin yet…

@EthanChoi7 @ceo_clickhouse Is 1 nine of uptime good for an infrastructure product?

[Caleb Grillo @caleb_grillo]

@richardartoul Gemini is integrated into Google Docs, but no idea if it's any good. Seems like a slopcannon by design, but maybe it'll listen to instructions

Evergreen documentary

OpenAI and Anthropic right now

@marklarosa Spa is incredible, and this year’s powertrain regulations do not do it justice. Travesty.

@richardartoul @jcristo2 They’re not burned. They’re smoked to 145-150 internal temp. Good try though, you’ll get em next time

The enshittification of Ferrari continues.

[Car and Driver @CARandDRIVER]

The 2027 Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale is the first car with a gated manual shifter to come out of Maranello since 2012. While the 12Cilindri lets the driver row their own gears, there is no physical connection to the powertrain, so the experience is actually a simulation. Ferrari will only build 1499 copies of the 12Cilindri Manuale, which each feature an 819-hp V-12 engine and will start at around $675,000.

@krisajenkins huh, I just wrote a post about this kind of trap (different angle but similar theme): https://t.co/XxYcMVqT4U

[Caleb Grillo @caleb_grillo]

you can just do things (but it's a good idea to do them responsibly)

Heels off the ground. Terrible hip mobility. Can’t even deep squat.

Not a founder.

Next time you think of giving up, remember this photo of Elon in 2008.

@ryanvilim @richardartoul Believe it or not, users that want this are NOT rare. Antiquated rules about who can be trusted to buy stuff that saves their company oodles of money are normally the bottleneck. Many orgs *require* the enterprise sales song-and-dance, which is, objectively speaking, bizarre.

@richardartoul @addisonhuddy Sounds like a supply chain that’s gonna need A LOT of rocket launches, funny how that works
