[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.

The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"

He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"

The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"

The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?

Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"

The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."

The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.

This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.

Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.

🚨: This is how the 4 moonbound astronauts will travel 400,000 km from Earth, which would be the farthest any human has ever gone in all of humanity.

This is incredible.

This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic.

It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

vibecoder asks claude code to build a chat app, gets a working prototype in 20 minutes, immediately tweets "just killed slack and discord"…

brother you don't even know what a distributed system is. you don't know what database replication means. you have no idea how websocket connections behave at scale or what happens when 50k people are online at once and someone's message needs to show up in 200ms across 3 continents

slack has engineers making $300k+ who have spent a decade solving problems you don't even know exist yet. race conditions, eventual consistency, message ordering, presence systems, file storage at scale, search indexing across billions of messages

your app works on localhost with 2 connections. that's not the same thing as "killing slack" that's a college homework assignment

the prototype is maybe 0.5% of what makes these products actually work in production. the remaining 99.5% is infrastructure, reliability, edge cases, and years of iteration on problems that only surface when real humans use your thing at scale

and the worst part is the confidence. "yeah its not perfect but ai one-shotted it, just need to adjust a few things and deploy" - the few things you need to adjust IS the entire product. thats like pouring a foundation and saying you basically built a skyscraper, just need to adjust a few things

ai is genuinely incredible for building tools and prototypes. i use it every day. but there's this weird thing happening where people who have never shipped anything to real users at scale now think the hard part of software is writing the first 200 lines of code

it never was bro

@capt_vimes Запамʼятав Дурбілета молодшого по єдиному досягненню на посту міністра КМ – відміна обовʼязкових медичних довідок для відвідування басейну. А ще книг обліку доходів для ФОП. Потім – скандал з викраденням ідеї, яку додали в Моно. Далі ці всі хренові реформатори тихо зникають.

@taranenko Блет! Щоб що?

Може таки мондорини, @mudzhyri?

I was driving my new BMW i4 this morning.

536 horsepower. 0g CO2 emissions.

I approached a major intersection on the Leopoldstraße.

I needed to turn left.

I checked my mirrors.

I executed the turn flawlessly.

Behind me, a man in a Ford Fiesta leaned on his horn.

He was furious.

He pulled up next to me at the next red light, red-faced, rolling down his window.

"Hey! Are your indicators broken, asshole? You almost caused a crash!"

I rolled down my acoustic glass window silently.

"Sir," I stated calmly. "My vehicle is in perfect working order."

"Then why didn't you signal?" he sputtered.

"Because of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)."

He looked confused. "What?"

I explained.

"My intended direction of travel is Personally Identifiable Information (PII) under Article 4."
"By activating my amber indicator, I am broadcasting my future location data to unverified third parties without your explicit consent to process that data."

"Do you have a Data Processing Agreement with me? Do you have a 'Legitimate Interest' under Article 6(1)(f) to know that I am going to the recycling center?"

"No. You do not."

"Where I am going is none of your business. My trajectory is encrypted."

I rolled up the window. The light turned green.

I left him there, processing the regulatory framework.

@taranenko Ну ей, ану не розчаровуй!

[stan @zlatkin]

@redjahred Співчуваю, друже 🫂

[stan @zlatkin]

@taranenko А як ще розважатися, з картатою сумкою в поліклініку трамваєм їздити?

[stan @zlatkin]

@redjahred О! Не з��ав. Дякую!

[stan @zlatkin]

@redjahred @beriFM Тобто опалення до грудня можна не включати, але колеса перевзути обовʼязково? Топ!

@redjahred Держава в смартфоні як вона є

[stan @zlatkin]

@redjahred Потім знов будеш продавати бо купив iPhone? 😁

[stan @zlatkin]

@redjahred Просто один, як і камера 🙂
