@rightscon more relevant than ever, this conf.

@orithellama just wondering, as I incorporated last week AI in my code flow, and it literally means I can drop subcontractors. I'm still amazed.

@Ghido @KatieKeithBarn2 @Cloudflare @kinsta So I guess you move away from Cloudflare? This starts to sound more an internet of prio's. Who pays more gets traffic prio

@Marketing_Nerd_ Pushy sales are horrible. When I walk a store in .. and i smell a minor mobe into my direction ... i'm gone. Apple had/has somehow the balls to trust on this human intuition. A very underestimated sales pitch: the non-pitch

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

One of the big three RAM manufacturers, Micron, has announced they are exiting the consumer market completely.

A server snapshot that takes only 2 seconds is very scary. It's like it's broken and you don't dare to rollback on that one.

It's time for Microsoft to have another XPSP2 moment. No more AI, no more features. Just fixes.

When I was working on Windows XP, Blaster hit. It was a big enough deal that we set aside all feature work.

For the next several months, all we did was improve security. We didn't add "security features"; we fixed bugs. Lots of bugs. Until there weren't security bugs to fix anymore.

Then we fixed the ones we didn't know about yet.

Put more simply, we stopped trying to "add value" to the product through features that PMs thought users would like, and instead we focused on the things that had been important for a long time, but overlooked.

Like performance and configurability today.

Rather than trying to improve and add value to the system through new AI features -now-, I argue it's time for Microsoft to stabilize, improve, and make the system more performant. And more usable for power users.

Just for one release. Just till it doesn't suck.

If everyone wants to work with 'Free' online tools, don't complain.

AWS is down and then the internet stops working.

But the blockchain, it never goe ... wait a minute. Scratch that.

This sector is a joke.

Everyone preaching decentralization and censorship resistance but in reality ... it's all 100% reliant on the cloud.

Hoi @BNPPFBelgie, is er een probleem met jullie backend om banksynchro te doen?

Er komen geen verrichtingen meer binnen vanaf 17 oktober (via @saltedge).

Met 3 andere Belgische banken geen probleem.

Source of internet service outages (in Europe).

[Meredith Whittaker @mer__edith]

PSA: we are aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

[Kristof Bernaert @vanbernaert]

@sdxsdx_ @m4rio_eth @signalapp twilio VOIP is down too here in Europe

[Kristof Bernaert @vanbernaert]

@donaldmorganjr there are more services down here in Europe. I guess a internet outage somewhere.

@digikey Hi, meanwhile we finally received the goods. But nevertheless, this was rather a very unpleasant experience to get goods delivered.

[Kristof Bernaert @vanbernaert]

Just to share my purchase experience with @digikey, sadly the worst experience ever.

Orders paid with credit card always cancelled, forced to pay afterwards with wire transfer, no follow-up, order cancelled, money gone.

Any similar experiences around here?

Cutting of your sales by blocking traffic that comes from chatgtp?

Why would you do that? 🧐
