Every OSS drama I've seen follows the same script.
- Here's is extra work I want you to do, for free.
- We don't want to support that. Closed.
- This goes against the spirit of OSS. Why don't you want to support your customers?

I've written a new blog post on AI.
I reluctantly learnt some of the concepts and tooling in this space and highlight these for newcomers.
I felt I had to investigate rather than hate.
I also discuss the flaws of AI, the impact of AI and the future of AI

Y'know, I'm having to write a lot of code to get this AI to understand my prompt.
It's almost as if I'm writing code to tell the computer what to do.
Which is programming. :|

That article really resonated. After working for almost 15 years, mostly on legacy projects, it's obvious that code quality has little relevance to the overall "business success".
Of course, there's a limit, but we focus too much on red herrings.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.
Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

This is a fun question, “why do people use aws or us-east-1 when they could just not?”
It’s a fair question! Hachyderm has enjoyed an uptime that puts most cloud providers to shame and we’ve broken near every “reliability rule” in the book. So why don’t more people do the same?
It’s complicated :)

Ah in that case, the better question is probably “why is there no regulatory pressure for aws to make us east 1 less load bearing”
Because UE1 is load bearing for internal reasons. Customers aren’t necessarily choosing that.
As for other CSPs. AWS is generally the most reliable of the major ones…
