@ForrestPKnight After having a github interview for a position I can honestly say that there is a lot more they don't explain. Like flowing code data on the backside to training LLMs. ugh the world. :(
Is it possible that GitHub is struggling more and more these days not just because of the Ai generated code going into it, but all the possible training happening in the background? That data is getting slaughtered right now.
@elonmusk It's sad though cause people will always be jealous of your wins and never be able to see past the $$. Thank you Musk for always pushing forward despite all the things against you.
In 2023, we spent $3,934,099 on AWS + other hosting. In 2026, our hosting + support bill is down to ~$1m/year due to the cloud exit. Even including all the hardware buying, we will already have saved ~$4m by the end of this year. And going forward, it's ~$3m/yr in savings 🤑
I'm about to do something I think I've never done before, which is assert every bit of whatever authority I have as the person who discovered and wrote down the rules of open source.
After ten years of drama and idiocy, lots of people other than me are now willing to say in public that "Codes of Conduct" have been a disaster - a kind of infectious social insanity producing lots of drama and politics and backbiting, and negative useful work.
Here is my advice about codes of conduct:
1. Refuse to have one. If your project has one, delete it. The only actual function they have is as a tool in the hands of shit-stirrers.
2. If you're stuck with having one for bureaucratic reasons, replace it with the following sentence or some close equivalent: "If you are more annoying to work with than your contributions justify, you'll be ejected."
3. Attempts to be more specific and elaborate don't work. They only provide control surfaces for shit-stirrers to manipulate.
Yes, we should try to be kind to each other. But we should be ruthless and merciless towards people who try to turn "Be kind!" into a weapon. Indulging them never ends well.
First time watching the Blackberry movie. I have to say I much prefer that keyboard over the soft keyboards you mostly find now days, if only they just improved the software.
@dhh In my last 27 years I have seen this even with smaller "tech" companies over and over again. It's always so sad to witness and boggles me this hasn't been realized sooner.
"It takes ten years for the culture of a great company to fall apart once the CEO seat is given to someone without an engineering or product background. That's been the story of Boeing, Intel, and now Apple." https://t.co/tD7ZzjO3jS
@sjvn ohh man I have a whole bunch of these cards. They were fantastic for War Driving back in the good ol days. Could open up the plastic hanging out and get a small BNC connector added on. Good memories there.
@dhh Thank you for Omarchy. It has been a breath of fresh air and gave a reason to switch off Void Linux back to Arch and be able to get right to work on dev projects without too much hassle.
