Some sort of devops or system or problem refinery. Smooth out everything but make sure you have all your dysfunctions together in one spot that gets scrutiny.

I wonder if Software’s AI thing is the same as when everyone decided hvac and plumbing jobs were for a underclass. All the plumbers in my town at 60+ years old. Are all the developers going to be 60+ years old in a decade or two?

Vibe coding is a really fast way to copy and paste from Stackoverflow so fast that it builds a whole application. Accelerating the only programmer workflow that most developers know.

My daughter found “Babymonster” and their song “drip” which goes: > baby got drip drip drip drip I hear > bubba gump shrimp shrimp shrimp

Revenge candidate platform: 1. Rush into nationalizing SpaceX and any other company that took over $1billion from taxpayers. Fire all execs and managers. Install fired usaid/et al to fix things 2. Give us all the IP/patents before courts can get all about stuff 3. Destroy debt records

Is there an effort going on today that has a list of the things that are being broken and the best people to put in place to repair them? Like rather than voting for president based on personality, we vote in an entire coalition with a strategy?

I’m excited to see more organizations building the software that fits their needs rather than buying something that’s close and mashing their organization into that shape. Stuff like ERP systems can now just describe your company. Don’t need to pay oracle or whoever. Just add features you want.

Listening to Search Engine about ampersands and discovered Ben & Jerry’s also does an ampersand. Not just Dave & Busters. ❌ Dun & Bradstreet ❌ AT&T ❌ Proctor & Gamble ❌ Johnson & Johnson podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Are people measuring the build vs buy dynamics of 2025 vs prior decades? Feels like build was vastly more expensive for a minor improvement over Excel for 99% of software until LLMs. Now writing a script to handle the data, a python app to do more complex stuff, a react frontend, etc… very easy.

I was listening to some old You’re Wronf Abouts earlier while driving and the Shaken Baby Syndrome one came up. Since it’s been 7 years, I was like “Wonder if Jeffery Havard was killed or freed”. Turns out neither. The justice system is simply awful when people are convicted during prosecution fads.
