@Koustubha_D Which tool did you use to make this video?

@petergyang @mercury Ask a question or invoke a skill step is the real bottleneck.

Imagine a fully loaded 737 fully crashing every 48h, killing everyone on board.

That is how many people die in car crashes. If self driving cars were only 10% safer than humans they would still save many, many lives.

@mesutkosedagi @kadikoybelediye Her tweetini gördüğümde aklima gelen ilk sey, goreve geldigin ilk gun caddedeki bisiklet yollarina diktigin engellerdir.

Daha iyisini yapacagiz dedin seneler gecti..

Dedemin CHP logolu ceketini aday gostersem Kadikoyde, o secilecek tabi, sizin rahatlik bundan.

@rohindhar That’s a steal considering the lot size. Originally listed for sale at $14.5M in 2022

[Gercek @gercheq]

@lennysan Reaching $100M ARR is no small feat. It typically requires closing many enterprise deals, each with a lengthy sales cycle. Frankly, these numbers often feel like marketing hype. Realistically, hitting this milestone likely means relying on a few big-ticket customers.

@yongfook @MrOngDedy Why don't you get that list answered by AI and send it back to them?

You don't even need to read the questions, just make sure you at least skim through the responses and that's it 😅

@gilgNYC @noahkagan I wanted to reply and tell how do you feel about axes vs snipers.

I have zero problem with jews and Israeli people but if you are supporting the current government, you are putting fire on this conflict.

Looks like @paulg just replied to you both https://t.co/JHll3H3LPY

[Paul Graham @paulg]

65 doctors, nurses, and paramedics told the New York Times what they saw in Gaza. What they saw was a pattern of children being shot in the head.

[Gercek @gercheq]

I thought driverless cars would be much cheaper. @Uber costs $10 vs @Waymo $20 for the same distance and the same time. How does this make sense?

[Gercek @gercheq]

@elonmusk Reporting live from San Francisco downtown. All is good. One of the best cities in the world. Can’t wait for others to catch up.

[Gercek @gercheq]

@dagorenouf You know software listing sites offer $20 for a “genuine”review, right?

99% of your user base might not care about a gift card, but AppSumo users would arm wrestle for it.

Leverage their enthusiasm—turn low-hanging fruit into a loyal orchard. 🍎

@dannypostma @stripe Here as well 👋 Did you get a professional head shot at the booth :)

[Gercek @gercheq]

@theandreboso Writing content is easy, distribution is the real challenge. What’s your strategy for getting it in front of people?

[Gercek @gercheq]

@jasonlk @FeliciteMoorman It still sounds pretty profitable 🤩 thanks for putting it together. Way beyond expectations, highly recommended.

Scrum is a cancer.

I've been writing software for 25 years, and nothing renders a software team useless like Scrum does.

Some anecdotes:

1. They tried to convince me that Poker is a planning tool, not a game.

2. If you want to be more efficient, you must add process, not remove it. They had us attending the "ceremonies," a fancy name for a buttload of meetings: stand-ups, groomings, planning, retrospectives, and Scrum of Scrums. We spent more time talking than doing.

3. We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention.

4. We spent more time estimating story points than writing software. Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint.

5. I had to use t-shirt sizes to estimate software.

6. We measured how much it cost to deliver one story point and then wrote contracts where clients paid for a package of "500 story points."

7. Management lost it when they found that 500 story points in one project weren't the same as 500 story points on another project. We had many meetings to fix this.

8. Imagine having a manager, a scrum master, a product owner, and a tech lead. You had to answer to all of them and none simultaneously.

9. We paid people who told us whether we were "burning down points" fast enough. Weren't story points about complexity instead of time? Never mind.

I believe in Agile, but this ain't agile.

We brought professional Scrum trainers. We paid people from our team to get certified. We tried Scrum this way and that other way. We spent years doing it.

The result was always the same: It didn't work.

Scrum is a cancer that will eat your development team. Scrum is not for developers; it's another tool for managers to feel they are in control.

But the best about Scrum are those who look you in the eye and tell you: "If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong. Scrum is anything that works for your team."

Sure it is.

My entire business plan is to do what I want, when I want, with whom I want and do very little of what I hate.

[Kenneth Auchenberg 🛠 @auchenberg]

In 2022, Stripe deployed its core payments APIs 5,978 times (16.4 times a day on average) ...

API reliability is now consistently in excess of 99.999%, and, during the peak week of Black Friday and Cyber Monday , exceeded six nines (that is, 99.9999%, — the equivalent of around 600 milliseconds of unavailability.

(It takes about 300 milliseconds for a human to blink.)

[Gercek @gercheq]

@Jason @dallin_stagg Disagreed.

Being solo is 100 times better than being with a shitty co-founder who wouldn’t hesitate to burn the ship when the shit hits the fan.

Too much drama with 2 co-founder setups. Odd number of founders is probably the best setup.
