Having access to a tool doesn't make you an expert. Consider a chainsaw. If you know what you're doing, it helps you get the job done. If you're clueless like me, you'll do lots of damage.

Still thinking a lot about the the parallels between people arguing in favor of generative AI because they claim it"removes gatekeeping" from being an artist and people in this administration who are entirely unqualified for the role and power they now hold but believe they are entitled to it.

The Google Cloud outage yesterday is really interesting, seeing how many companies are reliant on it. I thought it would be a lot less. Seems Google got a lot of people from Azure and AWS in recent months… forgecode.dev/blog/gcp-clo...
