Thanks for this great comment that adds tremendous value to the discussion.

Very weak argument. You could have had the same speech before AI.

I would rather say that the core product is not strong and differentiated enough to resist this new age of coding, and it's an attempt to protect revenues.

This is why I have NextDNS installed at the router level. No need for Adblocking extensions if we can't even make the requests to those ad servers.

Typical marketing sentence that means nothing (talking about the article, not you).

This story is such a click bait. A random website makes baseless claims and everyone takes this as face value.

Have you seen classes in universities? In schools? My daughter is in secondary school - they all have mandatory iPads.

I can totally see many, many students and parents use that machine for daily tasks. Yes, base specs are pretty low: 8Gb RAM, 256 Gb drive - but the price tag is also low in the Apple world. I assume the trackpad will be excellent and the promise that the battery lasts all day is probably true (all day = 6-7h max). Good move from Apple, for once.

Impressive feat. Definitely not for me though, and for sure I won't be there to debug one of these when my parents will call me because it broke their computers.

Very disappointed by this. I've been a customer for many, many years on a Family plan, but I do not understand this price raise. The only reason they raise price is definitely because of the need to answer to investors, and the necessary enshitification that follows. While I understand every business needs to generate revenues, they put on us, the customers, the burden of their rapid hiring spree and growing operating costs. It's just sad. There is just so much you can charge for managing passwords, and the family plan becomes way too expensive for the value it truly provides. We will need to switch to a less expensive competitor.

So basically you wanted to have it easy - joining a company with a certain prestige and be over the recruitment process in 30 minutes or less.

I don't quite agree with this statement. I would rephrase it like that: If Apple had built a car, this is the care and though process that we would have seen - incredible attention to details. But it would not have looked anything like what we’re seeing with Ferrari.

So much so that OP clearly asked to write this blog post for him.

Click bait at its peak.

New comment by robinhood in "GitHub Actions is slowly killing engineering teams"

robinhood — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 15:36:34 +0000

The article might be true for private companies, but as an OSS developer with one popular project and many smaller ones, having free access to a CI that, yes, sucks balls in terms of UX (ohhh the horrible click on a failed job and never be able to come back reliably), but which still work and is still pretty fast for the price I pay (ie 0$), is great. I think it's net positive for the OSS community.

Excellent comment. I do agree - current use cases I've seen online are from either people craving attention ("if you don't use this now you are behind"), or from people who need to automate their lives to an extreme degree.

This tool opens the doors to a path where you control the memory you want the LLM to remember and use - you can edit and sync those files on all your machines and it gives you a sense of control. It's also a very nice way to use crons for your LLMs.

We don't need all this - but it's so fun.

Such an interesting article. Thanks for sharing it. Nothing interesting to say apart from this. I'll sleep less stupid tonight.

It does not, since the context is absolutely not the same. Closing a major piracy actor VS actions that led to a world war.

Not every comment about Germany requires a mention of a dark past.

I honestly don't see the irony. I believe Cloudflare tries to argue for an open internet. I use some of their features on the free plan and it's of tremendous help, especially considering the price I pay (ie 0$). I'm actually super glad that Cloudflare exists.
