I feel better working at a company when the support staff are also working for the same company.

I had to re-read this three times. My sarcasm detector must be on the fritz.

And a ton of the top end ruby staff have left. Many of them ended up at shopify. There is a growing about of non ruby/rails code at github, but most of the system that people think of when they think github are ruby/rails.

The highest of compliments.

I just rewatches deadwood and i read your comment in the voice of al swearengen. I also tossed in a few "hooplehead" references for good measure.

I keep hearing people claiming that water is just as much as issue as energy for operating these DCs, but that just doesn't make any sense to me. However, I haven't had to step inside a DC for almost two decades.

I think the pressure on SaaS margins won't be from customers vibing their way to Figma or DataDog but because gen AI will bring a lot more credible competition in many segments. DD and Figma are probably awful examples because those companies are constantly pushing the envelope, but there are a lot of rent seeking SaaS providers that are going to be in for a rude awaking.

I have no doubt that we can create a really miraculous future. I am just increasingly pessimistic about our collective desire to do so.

I am sorry that i didn't take you at your word. Please accept my formal apology.

There is a reason ICE wasn't shooting unarmed civilians prior to operation metro surge, which only started in December, 2025. Standard ICE operations are targeted and generally quite. Operation Metro Storm is neither.

These are intentionally provocative and involve agents performing traffic stops and harassing people on the street for no other reason than (it increasingly appears) the color of their skin.

Lets see them deploy 3000 agents to West Texas or Hialeah for a few weeks. I am guessing those local populations might have a few problems with it as well.

There is a lot of room between unfettered immigration and having a roving band of apparently unaccountable agents violating 1st, 4th, and 6th amendment rights while also gunning down unarmed citizens in the streets.

We could try mandating e-verify with increasing penalties before we start asking people for papers and kicking down doors.

I have never had to even think about the steps a firm with massive utility requirements would need to take to secure supply. So assuming you could wave a magic wand and instantly build out a datacenter in northern Virginia right now, the local power utility (Dominion Energy in this case) would not be able to provide power?

What are the dependencies for installing the gem? I assume the machine will need rustc/cargo to compile the gem.
