Agreed!!

I would have loved something better but sometimes you just have to make do.

WebSphere was 99% Java (except for a few pesky dlls) and I never saw any oddities, it worked the same as it did on the old x86 VM I had which was woefully under spec. Our entire software platform was on WebSphere.

It really was a meaty box, which was a huge help because the tests originally (before IA64 box) used to take all night to run.

I have a funny story about a windows IA-64 box.

I was working for a large bank and it was all windows, including production. We used to run WebSphere Application Server on Windows. I was looking for a dev server to run unit tests on, including integration tests which required an actual WebSphere instance. The infrastructure team said they had “a box” going spare and it turned out to be IA64 on Windows.

If my memory serves me correctly WebSphere only ran on windows for IA-64 up to 6 and we were running on 7.

I had to do a bit of hacking but I did manage to get it working using the dlls from the 6 version. It was fine for running integration tests and a pretty fast box considering.

Luckily my pixel was fully unlocked- phew.

Personally I appreciate the clarity and technical enforcement vs banning accounts.

I switched OpenClaw to MiniMax 2.7. This combined with Claude over telegram does enough for me.

OpenClaw used to burn through all my Claude usage anyway.

Uh oh. I just brought a pixel 6a from Swappa, was hoping to use a different os. Not arrived yet though.

Ha! I just saw one of these this morning on LinkedIn, an engineer complaining about AI / Vibecoding and thought exactly the same. I find these overreactions amusing.

I don’t know why this is so controversial it’s just a tool, you should learn to use it otherwise as the author of this post said you will get left behind but don’t cut yourself on the new tool (lots of people are doing this).

I personally love it because it allows me to create personal tools on the side that I just wouldn’t have had time for in the past. The quality doesn’t matter so much for my personal projects and I am so much more effective with the additional tools I’m able to create.

Anyone on hackernews know why ? I see so many posts like “xyz datadog alternative” presumably this is a poor message then ?

It’s about observability and strongly related to Honeycombs o11y 2.0 vision.

I think sales and consulting can be a bit of a cheat code here.

You spend most of your time with customers and so you just kind of navigate their politics without actually involving yourself.

The money can be better so it’s a better deal and you’re mostly shut out from the politics of the organisation you work for anyway.

“I don’t do 1-on-1s, and almost everything I say, I say to everybody all the time. I don’t really believe there’s any information that I operate on that only one or two people should hear about… I believe that when you give everybody equal access to information, that empowers people. And so that’s number one… Number two, if the CEO’s direct staff is 60 people, the number of layers you’ve removed in a company is probably something like seven.”
