the lesson congress learned from the Hillary Clinton coronation getting derailed by Obama was to absolutely never ever vote on anything important

absolutely nothing in going to happen in the US congress until 2029

we're essentially one year of three into one of the least effective lame duck legislative bodies we'll ever see

I think owning GitHub is a prestige play, not necessarily thought of as a profit center.

Now however, it's competing for resources directly with the corporations core strategic plans.

GitHub having issues is embarrassing, but the shareholders don't really care.

When you're the uncontested market leader, you don't budget operations to be perfectly reliable, you budget to not be too unreliable. All those 9's are expensive after all.

The AI boom caught them napping though, and they're slipping well into the too unreliable category

cloudflares lack of spending caps and and usage alerts is a seriously unnerving approach

I shutdown all my little informational hobby projects this year that I've tinkered with for decades

They all shifted from mostly paying for themselves (or being so cheap it didn't matter), to essentially producing zero income while resource usage leapt up in magnitudes

I couldn't justify the stress and hassle of making sites, that a few dozen people a day might find useful, into some complex hyperscalable obligations just to feed the bots

on top of that, you need GitHub Copilot for the PR reviewer functionality in GitHub

he literally paraphrased the 14 words after doing it

"It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured."

it's an absolute joke anyone disputes what he did

Yeah, the followup to that "censorship of conservative opinions" complaint is always "which opinions are those"

It's a perfect analogue for asking confederate fans, "state's rights to do what?"

it's a race of parallel discoveries sprinting towards commoditization and indistinguishably

any real breakthrough will be instantaneously reverse engineered and replicated

none of the not-googles can win, because there is no win state
