@HeatherNSB @amazon @FedEx I feel 100% the same, @amazon. I live in a hilly neighborhood in Minneapolis and if the USPS carrier doesn't feel like driving 500 feet up a small hill with my package, they leave a slip of paper in the mailbox at the end of the hill. Huge problem to pick up.

@TheCinesthetic Strongly agree with you, with the ending of The Americans in a close second.

@CheyCab I continue to be amazed by the rationalization of this vs the artificial outrage when gas was rising when Biden was president.

@tlschwerz @Charley_Walters The current owners have wasted this beautiful ballpark, players that we could rally around, and a community that wants to love them. They need to get out of the team now.

[James Larson @lars960]

@smburns Strongly agree.

[James Larson @lars960]

@larsleafblad I’m on team Lars. Optimistic is the only way to be.

[James Larson @lars960]

@the_fit_fem Hard work is paying dividends. Looking great.

[James Larson @lars960]

@so_basic_jaclyn Just means you need to go back sooner

[James Larson @lars960]

@HockeyRenegade Great picture

[James Larson @lars960]

@CheyCab I’m so sorry to hear that. The impact is real, and is not easily reversible now that this thing has started.

[James Larson @lars960]

@HockeyRenegade Good night, looking good as always.

[James Larson @lars960]

@CheyCab Comments here are unhinged. What a world.

[James Larson @lars960]

@KateMonogamish Very pretty, great picture

[James Larson @lars960]

@so_basic_jaclyn When insecure people see you making progress, they feel threatened. Great job by your husband.

[James Larson @lars960]

@HockeyRenegade Same, that’s what hard work over time does for a person.

[James Larson @lars960]

@HockeyRenegade Uh, yeah 👍

At any other company, the person who just leaked 512,000 lines of source code, internal model codenames, and an entire product roadmap is clearing their desk by lunchtime.

Boris built Claude Code from a side project into $2.5B+ in annual revenue and 4% of all GitHub commits. His public response to the leak: the system failed, not the person. A manual deploy step should have been automated. One missing exclusion rule in a package config let a .map file slip into a routine npm publish.

The companies that fire the engineer who made the mistake get exactly one outcome: every other engineer learns to hide their mistakes. Near-misses go unreported. The next config error gets buried instead of flagged. You trade one public incident for dozens of silent ones.

Google codified this into SRE doctrine fifteen years ago. Every major outage postmortem at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft runs blameless by default because the math on incident frequency proves it works. The teams that punish errors have higher error rates. The teams that instrument errors have lower ones.

Anthropic just exposed their entire product roadmap to every competitor in the space. The response from the head of the product: here's what broke in the process, here's what we're automating, here's what ships next to prevent it.

That's how you keep the engineers who build billion-dollar products from leaving for the company that won't fire them over a config file.

@HockeyRenegade Hey! Looking good!

[James Larson @lars960]

@holisticbaddie Great job! You should be proud.
