A couple years back, I spray some DEET on my shoes, 5 seconds later, a tiger mosquito tried to bite me on that spot (and yes on the shoe itself, just insane to see it trying ).

They already loved that shit.

Based on my own experience with vibe coding difficult stuff outside of my expertise, I definitely got better outcome with Fuck you, shut up and do it, ffs, you are moron.

First so called vulnerability, isn't how a lot platforms are actually built? Share a link/copy a link, and more often than not, I am sure to have read a warning like "anyone with that link may access that file".

Now should I mention all the screw up I have seen in several Saas 1b+ valuation, including DocuSign/ and more security oriented ones (PIM related etc?).

For any softwares, you need a minimum critical mindset and experiences that you don't usually see.

The build time and space for rust is awful for fast iteration e.g change a thing, verify.

Guess how 90% of the code today is done in F500? Offshored to the lowest bidders in India/elsewhere. I trust more what claude is spouting than any code from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech_(India)

We have the infamous "Dropbox" is a weekend project, well now I'd say we are in the era of it.

And I bet I could build within 5 working day a Saas replacement of Domo.

There is no moat anymore.

Not really when I get up to 2-10 times the throughput of the state of art open-source library on their own benchmarks.

And I don't have 10k -100k to blow on Nvidia cards nor to buy a few 100gb of RAM.

We arrived to that state today with Codex and Claude Code. I really don't know what people are doing wrong?

Another difference worth pointing, Jobs wasn't seen as a pedo or nazi. And we haven't seen him begging already convicted Epstein to go to his island to enjoy the wildest parties. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/28/elon-mu...

Meanwhile our architecture team that surely supported 0 real life k8s went with no vendor, on premises deployments, claiming it was as easy as booting a VM, after 2y, there is 2 apps running and supposedly all future apps will be deployed on that cluster.

I cannot wait for the end of this month to leave that place.

I scanned a page of a particular book, and several models recognized it was from that book. And it almost felt that it resurgitated the content that it knew than real OCR.

I have been out of openai azure deployments for a whole,1year+, but we had often spikes in latency, escalated to the Head of Azure Europe, and still no official clues about them, meanwhile they were trying to get us in some kind of collaboration announcements. And it was the only reasons we had a few meetings with that guy.

So yeah Azure sucked ass and plenty of outages or latency, like 3min for first byte while usually it was max 30sec to 1min, if not even faster (memory is a bit fussy)

Network and social status is more important than your experiences.

And media loves outliers or bullshitting on the self made part.

It's parody of French rural hunters, and in this section, it's about the mental gymnastics they have about differencing themselves from the "bad" ones, while the rest of the sketch you see them shooting at any movements, littering the forest, explaining multiple hunting "accidents".

And the autosub doesn't do justice.

In France, in the 80s-80s, a comedian trio did a sketch on rural hunters, and the final was about the difference between the good hunter and the bad hunter, the whole sketch was like 6-7min and 1min was about the good and bad hunter.

I keep remembering this sketch each time I read about the differences in prosecution in the US between social classes.
