@James_M_South I have literally trained my muscle memory to hit WIN-X *twice* (rapid succession) every time before I attempt to invoke the key for the command I want for just this reason. After a few days it's second-nature. Agree should not have to be a thing, but not unworkable.

@FalconNW @NVIDIAGeForce @ASUS_ROGNA Haha - - USB stick-sized 1080 there 🙄

@hhariri Reality and parody have been on a convergence path for some time. The gap has been concerningly narrow such that these are often indistinguishable from each other now :(

@wiseAss301 Because the dirty little secret is that you're watching a soap opera with some CGI sprinkled on top.

It's not AI or Nukes that will wipe us out. My bet is on stupidity. https://t.co/e1lRFeyODe

@fiercekittenz Change your job, or change your job. That's insane, and a clear sign that you need to move on. That culture will grind you down to nothing, the only variable is "how long" 😢

@hkarthik @karpathy One benefit to automating software engineering is that the bar for requirements definition will have to be set considerably higher than now.

Monoliths can be loosely coupled.

Microservices can be tightly coupled.

It's up to who is building it.

@davidfowl "... surrounded by a comprehensive test suite", yes. Absent that, not at all 🙄

@hhariri It's just another example of the fallacy of relying upon cost + time as governors on a tech becoming over-broadly available. We'll see the same when quantum computers start breaking current encryption in record time, and we'll be similarly unprepared for that.

@hhariri Honestly, this guy is the #TuckerCarlson of financial content.

Honestly, into what circle of HELL do I consign the people who send me calendar invites without first checking my FREE/BUSY blocks to validate that I'm free for the proposed time slot? Is there a circle of hell for narcissists --?

My son, who is a software engineer, just told me that people who know software just had their Elon Musk realization.

Twenty years ago they said this about C++, Java, and SQL. Forty years before that, FORTRAN and COBOL.

Everything has a shelf life. Accept it, or transition to something other than tech.

(I don't mean to gatekeep, but this is a practical reality of this industry.)

If you last checked in on AI image makers a month ago & thought “that is a fun toy, but is far from useful…” Well, in just the last week or so two of the major AI systems updated.

You can now generate a solid image in one try. For example, “otter on a plane using wifi” 1st try:

Event Sourcing news!

(1) There is an awesome Discord server: ddd-cqrs-es
(2) @gregyoung is working on a book! 🤩
(3) Event Log pattern without aggregates is still Event Sourcing, even though it works with Kafka. Greg said so himself.

Thread time. Here's the thing about @tesla. It's not a car company. Tesla is a company that has to make cars in order to sell its real product: Emissions Credits.

Let me explain. Back in 2012, the EPA put out new, strident emissions standards for new vehicles fleetwide. 1/
