I'd already swapped to T3, at least it might survive the founders getting acquihired since it's open source.

Testing doesn't imply TDD.

Any addition of labor will push down wages just be increasing competition for jobs, even if they are all paid the same.

Completely agree with you. Every time I see yet another template language adding some clumsy for-each loop syntax I sigh. Just let us use a normal programming language. As an example I give you every template system ever invented. Devops tooling is full of them.

LifeTime Grand Prix has at least _some_ testing.

The AI and Tooling support point is really just an extension of the Community and Ecosystem point. Even before LLMs React had an advantage in that every question you had was probably already on StackOverflow and there are mature React libraries for almost everything. Now some people might use an LLM to answer the question they previously would have gone to StackOverflow for but the outcome is the same: there are advantages to using what other people are using.

If you're right for 30 years in tech you're right, even if things eventually change.

Does Azure? I think there's AWS then everyone else.

The article describes what happened and it had nothing to do with Unisuper. Google deployed the private cloud with an internal Google tool. And that internal Google tool configured things to auto-delete after a year.

Mandatory licensing would be wild. If LG invent something that makes TVs better should they have to licence it to Samsung? Or should they just be able to make better TVs and use their invention for market differentiation?

At a place I was consulting about 10 years ago one of the internal guys on another product dropped the prod database because he was logged into his dev db and the prod db at the same time in different windows and he dropped the wrong one. Then when they went to restore the backups hadn't succeeded in months (they had hired consultants to help them with the new product for good reason).

Luckily the customer sites each had a local db that synced to the central db (so the product could run with patchy connectivity), but the guy spent 3 or 4 days working looooong days rebuilding the master db from a combination of old backups and the client-site data.

Lots of the fancy keyboards coming out at the moment are settling around the layout the advantage has had for decades (although usually without the nice curve the advantage has).

Do you dual boot? I've got two bootable OSX partitions on my mac and this hit me when I updated.

Erg, I ran into this on my mac twice when I upgraded. I have two bootable OSX partitions and it hit on both upgrades. I'm not really a mac guy and it took a _lot_ of messing around (and learning that DFU exists and what it does) to sort out. Just lucky that my daughter has a mac so that I could even use DFU without having to take the thing into an apple store.

Around the time I got my A500, my neighbour's dad bought a PC that ran California Games in CGA at about one frame per second. I'm sure there were much better PCs available, but it didn't impress us kids much. They _did_ have Leisure Suit Larry though...
