I still think about when New Relic wrote a blog arguing that customers should leave vendors acquired by private equity (PE) b/c prices will go up+quality will go down. It was a stab at Sumo Logic just bought by PE.
6 months later New Relic got bought by PE...and deleted the blog

Recently I saw my GitHub account from somebody else computer and I noticed my activity being almost zero in opensource. We have also moved back a few years, and it looks like it has been 3–4 years since I actively contributed to a project.
Not sure how I feel about it, but it was a bit unexpected 😅

Overall I think #nixos is doing a great job. I use it every day but from my standpoint the effort I need to put in place to do something that I will do with a couple of kubectl, docker command is hard to justify.
But I get it, a lot depends on your standpoint as I said

@depot.dev is doing a lot of work those days analyzing and sharing their finds about how their users interact with GitHub Action. Common mistakes or easy wins when it comes to optimization.

Why 98.5% of organizations have slow actions/checkout
We analyzed over 60,000 checkout steps in GitHub Actions runners. 98.5% of organizations could be missing out on massive performance gains.

@rawkode.dev I am playing around with communication platform. I am trying out discourse but they have a list of supported auth provider (google,facebook,linkedin,discord). It does not look like they have a generic one.
I would like to use Zitadel with it. Wondering if you trying it already

I agree with Viktor. Based on my limited used of CoPilot the suggestions are often too extensive compared to what I am expecting when writing code. Overall I prefer to use the chat or aider because I feel LLM are way more useful as buddy than for code completion www.marginalia.nu/log/a_125_ai...

Do you like to write code manually like a 🦕 ? Do you want to keep doing that and get paid for it? Find a place that values durable code.
Good for us durable code is almost everywhere. Every organization, even the one that uses LLM a lot has somewhere durable code

Disposable Code Is Here to Stay, but Durable Code Is What Runs the World
Every day I seem to run into yet another post with someone solemnly opining that “writing code has never been the hardest part of software engineering. And hey, that’s smashing.

I am wondering if is the market or something else
