Maybe, but does Team Foundation Server even exist anymore? What is the MS branded service that degrading GitHub is supposed to drive people to?

I would guess that AI has given me a 30% improvement in pace? I don't know, it would feel like riding a bike on level ground instead of downhill

Writing is a way of thinking for me. In a venue like HackerNews I can write something that I think I believe and someone will probably take the opposite viewpoint and tell me why I'm wrong.

Sometimes that helps me change my mind if I'm less able to defend what I think, sometimes it solidifies that I was right because the response isn't substantive.

Heroku's final chapter was being acquired, we are now entering the afterword. It was revolutionary when it was introduced and for a long while after that - but their mistake was getting sold to Salesforce, they can't even make a competent CRM, of course they can't innovate a developer experience platform.

In the last couple of months Google's results have improved for me, I'm no longer seeing stack overflow clones, there are fewer content farm results too.

There is an attached PDF with the full decision, Pages 27, 28 on reference some related cases that informed the decision.

Even if it is, it doesn't matter. The US Court of Appeals created precedent that allows for the scraping and aggregation of publicly published information with that LinkedIn case.

No offense, but if you can't design and write a compelling landing page for your service that works you don't understand your product or customer enough to be in the line of business that you're in.

This is the race to the bottom kind of shit that is designed to help you crank out no/low effort content that search engines like but provide no value to an end user.

Rockstar developers can duct tape a bunch of bullshit together and make a good demo, and after 6 months when they get poached by another company you'll just have to hire actually competent people. They'll have to untangle the your geniuses opus of bullshit and rebuild it into something that works. It will take time and it will be expensive.

I'm not too bothered by people wanting to hire rockstars though because there will always be a market for people like me to come in and clean up the mess.

Isn't there a way to default back to a rendered image if MathJax isn't supported?
