Doesn’t Ubuntu still ship with Snap? I don’t think Flatpak trumps that yet. It’s hard to say one of the other formats won when Canonical (or Fedora derivatives in the case of Flatpak) still mainline something else.

The author knew it was a bad idea

This is a joke, right? OneFlow isn’t trunk-based development and is actually gitflow with different steps. I have yet to see any org actually use trunk-based development mostly because I’ve not seen cherry-picking from the trunk adopted at any large scale.

Software co-ops are often indistinguishable from startups in the US. Without money they don’t matter and getting money turns you into a shitshow or requires full-time staff fighting for grants and other forms of not blood money. Maybe this is easier outside the US.

Fuck big tech tho

It’s a cynical way to view the C-staff of a company. I think it’s also inaccurate: from my limited experience, the people who run large tech companies really do want to deliver good software to users.

From my much broader experience, this is missing the required cynicism that C-staff want to deliver software they think is good based on the criteria cynical yes staff tell them constantly is good. I’ve never met an exec that didn’t want to deliver something good; most execs I’ve met don’t actually understand what good is or how to benefit people.

Please don’t take me as a GH shill because I’m not. I’m not sure we read the same email given your projects. Actions on GH runners are dropping in cost and there’s a new fractional cost for self-hosted. For the average user, especially those on GH runners, costs are going down. Looking at your repo, you haven’t run anything since July. Your workflow files use GH runners. Nothing in your history suggests you’re leaving the free tier so I don’t get this FUD at all. General Microsoft hate? Fuck yeah. Shitty GH service? Fuck yeah. Plenty of reasons to dunk but this was not one of them. M

The current administration believes the same stuff. She left with the admin change yet agrees with things like the current admin’s approach to AI regulation.

My initial take on the sticker was the whole “fire exit git commit git push;” I do see this other perspective now

We’re just quitting without writing? Living very dangerously aren’t we?

It’s still just another type of ID so you can do lookups on it. Nothing would change. UUIDs are used all the time.

Your response seems very enterprise-focused. I think you might be missing the kind of software development that happens before it becomes enterprise. All of these metrics are very reasonable for new products, startups, consulting, and hobby hackers. If code were moving 10X now, we should reasonably see 10X new growth. These numbers show we’re not.

Arguably we should also see a 10X something in legacy and enterprise as well which is harder to measure. If we assume a 10X dev is producing 10X more code, we should expect 10X more bugs so we should also see a rise in QA positions. We’re not, so that’s a good indicator. We should also see a rise in product manager roles to handle teams that are suddenly producing 10X per member. We’re not, so that’s a good indicator. We should also see 10X new product deliveries from companies like Salesforce. We’re not, so that’s a good indicator.

You completely missed the sections on how long these tools have been available. Your point about the internet would be valid if this article was written in, say, 2021 when Copilot and Tabnine were new and hot. It would also have maybe been valid in early 2023 when people were first spinning up workflows off ChatGPT and making 10X promises. It’s now years later and we’re not seeing any growth in any of those numbers as illustrated by the article.

I assume this is Poe’s Law in action. Elon historically doesn’t understand shit about tech so the commenter is just highlighting something that’s been GA for other tools for years.

You’re looking for something like Nightshade. The chuds into accelerating the rapid destruction of all energy resources are aware and capable of defending so it’s not as solid. I don’t know if image datasets are scraped or manually compiled so YMMV; I do know the more poison you throw out the better.

Strange; the page is shilling for a product that doesn’t use raw HTML for its site.

This reminds me a lot of LogLog Games doing the same thing this time last year. It also talks about similar issues and goes pretty deep into normal Rust responses.

There are maybe three sentences worth of content.

Wrapped.

In stutters.

That make.

It.

Super hard.

To read.

It drives me nuts on LinkedIn; it’s sad to see it’s made the jump to “longform” on substack.

This is just distributed functions, right? This has been a thing for years. AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP Cloud Functions, and so on. Not everything that uses these is built on a distributed functions model but a fuck ton of enterprises have been doing this for years.

Totally agree. I’m glad you read between the lines there. It’s out there if you have the resources to throw at it.

Like most DevOps things, it’s all about the opinionated ecosystem you hop in. It has most things and does most of the stuff you want until you decide to adapt the pattern to your use case and holy fucking shit is it hard to adapt opinionated ecosystems. That’s why I continue to have jobs.

It does with some hoops IIRC. I used act a couple of years ago to test a very distributed flow for enterprise IaC projects. I can’t remember all of the things we had to do and I think I’m conflating some of the podman issues we had on macOS with act issues. AWS credentials were an annoyance, I think, but we worked around it with some community code. Our primary purpose for act was to be the local testing for enterprise action deployment so I’d guess it’s close to yours. I think our conclusion was to distribute the actions to each repo rather than use the central .github repo for actions because of how GitHub handles overrides. My memory is really fuzzy.

If you’re going to believe this internet stranger, start with a very simple set of demos to vet me. I remember being very happy; I do not remember how the team solved it. M
