Just installed my plug-and-play panel this week in my small garden. 400W so not enough to power all my appliances. But I'm happy that I'm at least a little hedged against the negative geopolitical developments we're going through.

Anthropic support is reserved only for famous devs on X with > 100k followers.

I feel like all new AI tools only integrate with GitHub though, like Claude Code. We're actually thinking of moving from GitLab to GitHub, just for this reason.

All these tools seem to be GitHub-centric. Any tips for teams using GitLab to store their repositories?

We use it extensively in our codebase. We started without any types, and added Sorbet later. It's similar to Typescript as that you can gradually sparkle your code with types, building up the typing coverage over time.

I just completed a big refactoring. We have a good suite of tests. But Sorbet has provided an added layer of confidence. Especially when it comes to the treatment of null values. Sorbet will raise an error if you try to call a method on an object that may be null. So it forces you to think through: what should happen if the object is null?

So the tests combined with Sorbet typechecking made that we could just almost blindly deploy refactoring after refactoring, with only a handful of bugs for several 1000s of lines of code changed.

Useful resource!

Seems far-fetched. No one is forcing you to buy an S&P 500 fund. And you could have sold your S&P 500 shares the day Tesla entered the index.

"Every industry that has enough political power to utilise the state will seek to control entry." - George Stigler, Nobel prize winner in Economics, and worked extensively on regulatory capture

This explains why BigTech supports regulation. It distorts the free market by increasing the barriers to entry for new, innovative AI companies.

Agree. I can't stand the coldness of brutalist architecture, it's dystopian. It's disagreeable in summer, let alone on a grey winter day.

For most startups that raise money, tech is hardly a big cost. Most of the money goes towards fueling growth through paid marketing and so on.

We adopted Sorbet for our codebase a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier with that choice. Sure, it's not as powerful as Typescript (e.g. no way to specify a union of constants like `type Result = 'ok' | 'error'`), but it's worth it just for the nil-check alone. And it's great for documenting too. It's easy to forget what type a method expects for its parameters.

I remember visiting this underground city a couple of years back, and thinking, what were these people so scared off in the outside world that led them to build this? It's an incredible feat, I think even with today's tools, let alone back in the day. Very intriguing.
