It started 10 years ago, but have def escalated the last year IMHO.

Im sorry to say it, but i feel a lot of Europeans have lost a good deal of trust in the US.

A pragmatic article, always nice. I was surprised that gitlab and github was stillton the list. For me moving to self hosted forgejo was one of the easiest transition i had. But i did not have complex CI/CD needs

Agree. context matter. As a senior developer you need to understand complexity, risk, upsides and and downsides. Understand the business side. If you are a startup or a big company that is already a cash cow makes a difference when changing a core featrue of the product etc... context context context

sisve — Thu, 07 May 2026 19:57:32 +0000

Yeah, the problem is that I do not think the agents is good at reusing scripts and stitching it together.At least for me it's recreating to much similar. I hope we will see platforms like windmill.dev find the optimal solution for this. I have not been able to test it enough. But have a platform that gives you some observability out of the box and protect secrets from llm is nice

Yeah this is not ARR but run rate revenue. when i was doing SASS we always used ARR, not run rate, but it seems to be a thing

I cant say what all companies does. But my google seaches and and chatgpt Do not agree with you on that. They stick to actual sales.

As far as I understand run rate revenue is just a fancy way of saying that "the last month we had sales, and if that continues for a year we will have a AAR of 30B. meaning it's not 30B yet, but the sales numbers indicates that we get there by continue selling at the current speed. But to have revenue of $100 and get $30B in ARR I guess the period looked at needs to be seconds....

(Run Rate = Revenue in Period / # of Days in Period x 365)

We move slow. But the clima for change is here now, it's been brewing for a decade or so. Expect Europe to not use more money on US services the next two decade. So with inflation you will really see a significant decline. My 5 cents

Yeah. For me threatening to invade Greenland was a super red flag. I have not cared about US privacy & security laws. Even if people have talked about it and snowden exposed a lot, over a decade ago.

But by treating Greenland...

I see a real shift in the political environment from the EU [1]

That is not how EU does things. If you want no regulation and access to capital you should go to the US.

AI will take over a lot and the biggest AI company will be in US and China. But there will be room for Europe also on the top 10 list.

But there will be an environment that is creating sovereignty from US much more the before. We have learned our lesson

My _feeling_ is that a lot of EU/European politicians has talked a lot more about the need to be independent from the US after Trump threaten Greenland. At least in the nordic countries. Not only concerning data & privacy, but defence, communications, space etc. All areas. The wheel has started to turn. You will not see it if you look around. But in 10 years time, maybe more, Europe will have stopped depending on the US. And that will hit US hard. We pay a lot of money in services to the US.

Even with e/os/ or another u De-googled version of android?

Not directly to you but in general: I do not think (most) of Europe is going the same direction as US. I actually see a lot of hope in response to EU leaders about digital infrastructure, communication & security. we have started to stop realing on America, but it will take 10-20 years before you see the entire crash trump made

I would like to see the prompt they are using. I asked CLaude to generate a password and email to a new user and im quite sure he used /dev/urandom in some way. I would expect most llm to do that as long as they have cli access

I think that is a bit to easy. MAY is described ar optional.

SHOULD - Should really be there. It's not MUST, you can ignore it but do not come crying if your email is not delivered to some of your customers ! you should have though about that before.

Sure. I can agree with that. At the same time, the reason people aren't doing it is not solely a skill issue. It's also a matter of time, energy, and what you want to prioritise.

I believe I have good enough control over it to fix issues that may arise. But then again, CC will probably do it faster. I will most likely not need to fix my own issues, but if needed, I think I will be able to.

"Critical" plays an important role in what you're saying. The true core of any business is something you should have good control over. You should also accept that less important parts are OK for AI to handle.

I think the non-critical part is a larger part than most people think.

We are lagging behind in understanding what AI can handle for us.

I'm an optimistic grey beard, even if the writing makes me sound like a naive youth :)

I moved everything on github to a self hosted foregjo instanse some days ago. I really did not do anything. Created some tokens so that CC could access github and forgejo and my dns API. Self hosting is so much simpler and easier with AI. Expect more people to self host small to medium stuff.

That is 100% true. You cant be fired for picking AWS... But I doubt its the best choice for most people. Sad but true

Impressed with what Node is doing the last years, deno and bun has really made Node focus and improve. It was stuck for a while

Did you do hot updates? I ser that is mention in the post, but I thought the community has walked away from it? Or at least that its mixed feelings about it?
