Well as I got older I understood that what anarchy-libertarians are saying is not what they think.

When I was younger I thought they really are against hierarchy and that society should be equal in all aspects.

But as it turns out, they are against current hierarchy as they don’t have much to say in this setup. But once they would get to be “in” and calling shots that’s where their world views change.

You are mixing stuff up.

Floodgates were already open somewhere in August 2025 around that time we got Sha1-Hulud and phishing of NPM contributors. Those supply chain attacks were happening all the time since then in smaller and bigger amounts.

Other thing was Mythos, project Glasswing and start of really AI assisted vulnerability research. This on the other hand gave us plenty of new CVE to patch. If some project had in June 2025 0-3 new vulnerabilities, June 2026 it had 13-18.

It is just a rollercoaster in cybersecurity last 2 years already. But Hugging face incident is IMO not that noteworthy if you tried doing any task with AI agent on your own.

You are going to provide me with a budget for that solution?

Easy to drop a sentence in a discussion. Harder to implement.

I guess like that: “we are Microsoft, 95% of your things runs on us, you want to stick to the rules? - OK that’s additional 10% on each and every license you have with us. You are still here or are we done?”

I think you want to replace fresh vegetables and fruits with processed ready meals.

Being available is not equal to a person being able to afford it.

Maybe you were writing about middle class and not the poor?

Humans murdered all megafauna quite effectively. If there were any I guess humans and their cousins ate them.

Going with this idea further basically all data goes via Microsoft one way or another.

They just started updating the UI and I am pissed off.

I don’t want them to change UI. I have plenty of work to do and have plenty of other tools that I use daily.

I have my workflows, I am swamped with work and now I have to change my workflows because someone changed options in UI where ones that O used are not there anymore.

Atlassian migrated EU data to EU based servers. I still had to click approve but they did that for me.

For me problem is that people don’t understand that there are different levels of expertise.

Like if you can write an SQL query, you know difference between DDL, DQL, DML you are already an expert compared to average people.

Of course knowing that doesn’t make one database expert as you might not know how indexes work under the hood and might not know how to maintain a database.

Picking and mixing right levels of expertise is also hard because you never know what’s the next job will be.

I am not going to make up 3 things but it meaningfully replaced Google search that became unusable crap.

Downside is that OpenAI is already having ads on their chat interface, so I guess it will be crap any time soon.

I absolutely see all the crap devs who work on 5 tasks at once create.

Basically I try to explain to them they are not paid by amount of tasks they pick up but amount of tasks that are DONE and DONE doesn't mean "yeah it kind of works, I don't have time to fix details because I have 10 other tasks".

Super annoying, yeah we can make follow up fixes - but that's more work not less and if all would be done right just now topic would be closed.

Well no, I don’t think you can install anything that generates power without registering.

I remember in past people would make small wind turbines for their own use and would get fined in Europe. Because they expect you to sell the electricity and then buy it back - like you can’t use it directly as far as I remember, without paying taxes and stuff.

Banking apps are not “websites” by coincidence they happen to be apps using same technology to show the interface but there is huge difference between website and web app.

This distinction is important especially because people are notoriously confusing the two and expect web apps to be like websites and conversely implement websites with tech that is supposed to be used to build web applications bloating internet pipes with JS where HTML and CSS would be sufficient.

Don’t forget we don’t live in a pacifist utopia. Companies don’t work on the same ideas just because they think they can make it better.

Companies work on the same ideas because they want to own IP, data etc. and then charge money.

The other way around they work on the same ideas not to be charged by others and control their business.

“software industry” is not some big happy hippie family. Patent wars, browser wars, OS wars - well we get a lot of open source for free but that’s not the norm.
