haha. hubris thy name is tzumby.

look up what isaac asimov had to say about genomic analysis.

the entitlement people have towards free, open source software, is incredible.

this isn’t even a “new” problem. if you were around in the early 00s or before you probably worked with a BOfH sys admin that didn’t let you update system packages. that person cared deeply about system integrity and enforced it with policies around package managers.

having outsourced all of that stuff over the years to the cloud, it seems like people forgot this reality existed and can still exist.

the mob freak out is really a projection of a skill issue and it’s sad.

what a fascinating take. i just scrolled the github thread. there’s very little, if any substance.

your perception must be very interesting to have gleaned anything but seething AI rage.

github hasn't absorbed agentic coding, though. agentic coding has absorbed it, and as a result it's quality is suffering.

the thing about github that is so maddening is linus gave us the secret with git itself. then we reinvented centralized source control using git and called it github, and here we are.

my father made reading The Agony and The Ecstasy a requirement to go to Italy when I was a sophomore in high school. It's a thick tome, but a great read if you're a curious kid.

as the others said Michelangelo hated doing that painting. He's a very tragic, albeit heroic to me, man. I'd recommend that book if you're at all fascinated by him.

last.fm was so promising when it came out but i have to say i didn’t discover anything using their platform.

chatGPT is incredible, just giving it a single song and some context, it can recommend at a rate of something like 85-90%.

the only place i’ve gotten the BEST music recommendations were the oink and last.fm forums. humans, still, are the best recommendation infrastructure.

i love you guys.

haha — this is the exact comment i was hoping to see! indeed, i was joking. The Watchmen graphic novel is very important to me as it opened my eyes to the concept of “who watches the watchmen” which I was ultimately eluding to here, albeit extremely facetiously.

This is GOLD Jerry, Gold.

but who detects the down detector detecting the down detector detecting the down detector

iran did this to themselves. any other view is simply insane.

they’ll easily make this up at the parks at the new tron ares ride

are you dabbling at all in the “no build js” stuff that Rails 8 supports? i did it for that corporate project and their deploy time went from 30 minutes to 5 minutes. it’s also such a headache reliever but removing most of the confusing aspects of the JS ecosystem for me.

i came back to rails after a very long hiatus to help a company bring a 10+ year old rails project to Rails 8.x.x from Rails 5. It took a bit to get back in the saddle, but every new project I’ve started since that’s a SaaS/CRUD app of some kind it’s in Rails.

I’m finally at the age where productivity is infinitely more important than anything else.
