I like the minimalist approach some phone companies are taking, physical keyboards, no distractions mode but it’s missing a privacy approach, stock android is NOT secure

I manually fixed a merge conflict today without using AI.

Time to add voice to the home setup!

El gobierno mexicano utilizando IA para generar vídeos con texto ilegible, errores y deformaciones en pleno desfile.

¿De verdad nadie pudo revisarlo?

¿Cuántos freelancers, personas individuales o empresas mexicanas pudieron haberse beneficiado de ese trabajo, en lugar de simplemente aventarlo a la flojera?

@ProtonDrive Then stop using google play services for notifications on the apps please

We've identified an issue with an authentication component which is contributing to impact. To address this, we've developed a remediation strategy and we're applying it to a portion of infrastructure to test its efficacy. Once we've confirmed this resolves impact, we'll apply the solution more broadly. For more information, please see EX1464935 in the admin center.

Say hola 👋

@sysxplore Hola! 🫪

Internal platforms do not fail only because the tech is weak. They fail when nobody owns the boring middle: migrations, exceptions, documentation, support, and the awkward process changes users actually feel.

[Axel @codegax]

Its here! Yes, I know they are in a bunch of drama but a gift this good is hard to say no to 😁

[Axel @codegax]

@ProtonMail criticizing Google while relying on Google services for Android notifications is… not great.

[Axel @codegax]

@mantancino_ This is why I distrust language popularity charts as architecture evidence. In enterprise systems, the boring constraint is usually not what people like. It is what the org can hire for, support, review, and keep alive for years.

[Axel @codegax]

@nucocloud Yes. The dangerous part is not using one vendor. It is letting that vendor become part of your architecture contract without saying it out loud. Pricing changes are painful. Behavior changes are worse.

[Spencer Schneidenbach 🦈🇺🇸 @schneidenbach]

I'm hiring a fullstack tech lead for my company

.NET and JavaScript a must (we do lots of React, so that's ideal)

Must be personable and be able to talk to clients

Experience with AI, Azure, the "dev lops", squeals (we call it SQL for short)

Please RT for reach

@StockMKTNewz The interesting part is not "AI replacing vendors." It is whether Starbucks can own the workflow well enough to maintain the tools after the demo. Internal software saves money only when ownership is real.

[Axel @codegax]

Building internal tools to replace vendors only works if the company also builds internal ownership. Otherwise you just replace a subscription with a permanent support problem.

[Juan Cruz @juancruzz]

un momento.. que paso con perplexity?

[No context Hazz ⛩ @HazzimIO]

Normalize owning servers again.

[Axel @codegax]

@mipsytipsy @StackOverflow That line hits harder inside large orgs. If engineering managers do not keep the standard clear, the standard gets replaced by whatever is easiest to measure. Usually speed, tickets, or visibility.
