She probably committed mortgage fraud

The Amazon laptop might be in Arizona, but the North Korean on the other end is in, well, North Korea.

TBH: the weird part about the story is that they ONLY measures 110ms latency. Would expect it to be ~2x that.

How much is electricity a regional vs national market? MN can’t just sell electricity to TX, right?

If you have a backlog, you have more work than you have developers. Firing people doesn't help with that.

Narrator: “The margins were *not* close.”

I’ve never run into that. How?

@radiofreetom.bsky.social you’re gonna need to present a word study on “federal” before most ppl understand what you mean.

These aren’t mutually exclusive. 5% of AI projects could cause 40% increase in efficiency overall.

Smallbiz is also far more likely to just let employees have at it and see how to make AI work for them, instead of formal implementation projects

Maybe it’s a clickbait type headline but it’s also a elitish in a way I highly dislike

Will this cause problems? Of course. I’m still supporting Access apps that should have been turned into real apps a decade ago.

But those Access apps also let companies create things and scale when a real dev was not available

Vibe coding is and will give non-devs the ability to create software that otherwise would simply not be created.

It’s really REALLY easy to underestimate the power and efficiency that brings to non-techies outside of the Bay Area.

This is also troubleshooting at a conference I am *exhibiting* at between sessions, so time was of the essence!

Would I have gotten there on my own? Eventually, sure. But llm + gemini turned this into a 15 minute fix instead of ~2ish hours.

Answer: the docker config automatically used the most latest version of mongodb. An unprompted server restart loaded MongoDB 8 instead of MongoDB 7, which is not compatible with the v7 DB files.

85% of private businesses? By dollar value? It can’t be by absolute number when only ~5% ever make it past $1m in gross revenue.

The difference is that AWS is effectively Amazon's core product and Google's is search (ads).

At least by profit.
