And what is your proposed solution to that? It takes minutes to move a service to a different IP, this is a gigantic whack a mole

I can only applaud the dedication to write such a long and precise article about such a niche topic

Same, I’d pay for more physical buttons

Thanks, this is a clear explanation, thanks for sharing! I’d be curious in follow ups on other formats like PNG

+1, by the time everybody sworn about MCPs, skills became a more efficient alternative. People learned to aggressively context manage, then longer context windows and agentic made that a lot less important. If the technique is any good, it will be baked in the next version. My philosophy is to avoid plugins / MCPs unless strictly required, and to have thorough prompts. This way I’ve successfully avoided to be in the way of progress by forcing obsolete optimisations on my LLMs

But that’s not true though. You still have to convince humans. You still have to deal with what people in power feel (clients, leads,etc) This still adds wall time. I saw 0 serious analysis confirming 5x productivity gains. In the coding part? Maybe, and that’s not even certain. But pure coding is only one order of making software, or solving problems with software

You can configure your preferred languages in YT settings, so it doesn’t do that. The setting is obscure, but it’s there

I work in Trust&Safety, and can vouch that the passion for gore things has not left the internet.

I will say it built my resistance: if you were an internet user in the late 90’s, you ‘ve seen since really broken stuff

+1, I wonder how many will stick to it. The decision tree is pretty simple : - are all the devices / soft they use compatible with Linux ? - do they know enough about Linux to solve their problems ?

If no to either, they will pay for Win11

+1. I worked on an internal corporate eCommerce in 2005 built entirely on DOM + XSLT to create the final HTML. It was an atrocious pain in the neck to maintain (despite being server side so the browser never had to deal with the XSLT). Unless you still manipulate XML and need to transform it in various other formats through XSLT/XSL-FO, I don’t see why anyone would bother with it. It always cracks me up when people « demand » support for features hardly ever used for which they won’t spend a dime or a minute to help

This. I am a manager, and frankly, getting a bit tired of people who just cast some degree of in person presence as “pure desire for control”. People require coordination (that’s partly why manager / project manager / product manager roles exist), and that coordination is orders of magnitude easier and faster in person. Sometimes just in the course of going from meeting A to meeting B, I will solve <=3 minutes stuff that would take me 2-3x the amount of time via chat or quick ad hoc meetings.

I am against full RTO 5 days a week, because for focused tasks, WFH is way more productive. But hybrid is not entirely stupid. Sure, if 100% of your work is focused work (say SWE work for instance), anything other than full WFH is a loss to you. But unless you work 100% alone with nobody else, 100% optimal for you may not be 100% optimal for the project / product / organisation. And I’ve seen first hand how conflicts brew when people can’t just go in front of a white board and hash out differences in person

Tl;dr : it’s wayyyyyyyy more nuanced than “RTO is stupid you control freak”

Fish is awesome, but there are times you need POSIX/ bash-like shell syntax

It’s a certainty at this point, they will need the revenue stream

+1, systemd is very usable, and works. I would really not go back to what was before

Case in point : fly from EU to US, no shoes off. Same planes, flying over the same cities.
