I build tech startups. CTO @founderpathhq

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@GavMcCracken Dumb take

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@TheHinduWitcher no thanks, already been thru all the vmc we need. I'll keep in mind those for the future assets.

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

The shittiest job about being a CTO is, for sure, the security theater. For example, to get access to certain @googlecloud scopes, you need to pass a CASA Tier 2... which is basically a glorified zap scanner that cost thousands of $.

🧵

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@TheHinduWitcher @googlecloud Which one?

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@googlecloud Security theater... reminds me of security in grocery stores in Asia (Manila, to be exat) that had a shotgun with no trigger (and no shells).

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@googlecloud About that CASA Tier 2.. one of the provider is TAC Security... and once you pay the bill, you can't add members of your team on that platform. You're forced to share login + OTP manually. It's a security platform 😂

@kentcdodds @AdamRackis I used to love graphql. I think it solves a beautiful problem (1 backend, multiple frontend, different views). However, in the age of llm, I don't think it has its place anymore.

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@yacineMTB except database schema.. please do code reviews on database schemas. the rest can be forgiven.

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@thekitze RIP yarn, my favourite package manager in pre-worktree days.

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@JustDeezGuy Agreed.. Also in the age of LLM, kubernetes is way simpler since everything is text and stored in git, there's no UI involved. Create the cluster and you're good to go.

@grok what is Infinium and how much did Brookfield invest in it? 👀

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

Quick! Let's try to find which Brookfield company will benefit from attempting to shoot rockets so far from the equator, using net-zero carbon fuel 😂

Today, we introduced the Canadian Space Launch Act. 🇨🇦

This legislation will deliver sovereign space launch capabilities to Canada and help create a new $40 billion space launch industry in Canada.

We’ve reached the moon, but now we can launch Canadian rockets from home.

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

Canadians love E-transfert, but forgets the fact that
1) it's third party (interac corporation)
2) it's pretty easy to accomplish because we only have a handful of banks...

I love E-transfert myself, but using that to bash and "win points" America is very silly.

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

Man, this X update where we see translated tweets is the best! good job @nikitabier

英語のツイートの末尾によく付いてる「Imao」って誰？？今尾さん？

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@MarketPalmer_ They'd lose me 😕 I don't get much value from it. I have more people on WhatsApp than iMessage

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@pika_nekopanda Definitely this for me 😂

@yamanakanobody I travelled around the world... The only time I got refused entry/service was in Japan. I still love that country though!

[Mak Sok @maktouch]

@sweatystartup My wife does this every time. She puts things I always forgets, like q-tips!
