The companies that end up doing this will be more like Google with technical managers.

The other companies will stay where they are at right now.

Learning to manage code bots is way easier if you know code. Managing code bots when you don’t know code leads to how SWEs have been mismanaged in the past.

Maintaining systems is where the costs are at. That is also where the profit is at.

Cry in story points. Like a real scrum master level 9000.

It seems like retries are sometimes best left to the human being in front of the screen. Works well enough.

Then where are the HDMI ports on Nvidia's current data center GPU product lines?

And the change in failure rate and technical advances are a de-facto change in actual depreciation vs. accounting depreciation.

Electricity gets converted to heat which has to be removed through the cooling system.

Performance per Watt is the key metric for data centers full of GPUs.

Kernel option nohz_full in grub config.

Also disable hardware SMT as a kernel option in grub config. Then the cores can clock down way more often and L1 data cache size doubles.

XFCE and X11 tripled my laptop battery life vs. whatever Wayland+GNOME Ubuntu (2024?) brought by itself.

Powertop and tlp also help.

Happy camping.

EDIT: the lower heat dissipation also halved boot time. That one surpised me the most.

EDIT2: Disable "atime" with ext4 option "noatime". Saves a lot of power, heat, trimming, and re-writes on your SSD/NVMe.

For "faster shutdowns" manually run systemctl start fstrim.service. Not exactly sure why fstrim.timer seems unreliable.

The joke is awesome.

Wow. GitHub gaining the same reputation as DNS ("it's always DNS"), printers, OSI layer 8, and PEBKAC is actually a bit of an achievement.

Hat tip to Microsoft.
