Not really true for modern cloud architectures. If you have an appropriately tuned Observability stack you're probably pretty familiar with the logs.

So curiously I wonder if it's not that Anthropic/Claude can do this magically. More like can individuals at IBM who are heavy hitters just leave and create their own company and effectively provide these services because AI gives them the productivity to do so?

Maybe.

And then win the contracts to do this and have sufficient bankroll that they can be successfully sued and recover damages if they screw up?

No.

Someone like accenture might eat their lunch though

To be fair the author shows an example of using NixOS. It's absolutely another layer of indirection (probably several) but it does make that usual Linux "fun" less problematic because of its immutable nature and API design.

https://brianjlogan.com I haven't done much with it but my plans are to try and spend more time writing. Haven't even ported over most of my prior content. I've been on the web since I think 2007 learning HTML as a kid uploading files via FTP. I need to figure out a better RSS reader that I can subscribe to other blogs like Julia Evan's

Is anyone else unable to read the report on mobile? Completely broken styling for me.

Can't confirm, works fine for me (Android, Firefox).

This was a super interesting article for me as I'm working on a prototype software aiming to promote spaced repetition and some newer wave learning science as a common approach to "leveling up" in an age where AI is pushing the competitiveness of human labor.

I've thought about posting to HN but I'm a little apprehensive of when and how to post.

Anyone interested in this and/or have some advice for posting my prototype online for feedback?

Thank you!

Very interested, I’ve been working on SRS software and care about this problem too. My email is in my profile.

I ran my own home router and I used Kea and Power DNS using Systemd Containers to provide service for my whole home.

I was really impressed. I think the folks who put it together did a good job of addressing the major warts of my experience with isc-dhcp-server.

I'm sure it's a tremendous challenge writing software that's supposed to live up to modern expectations while still attempting to deliver on all of the legacy dependents and their unique use cases.

Makes me think of that article on how Cloudflare wrote their own Golang DNS Server and like some 900 whopping people use LOC records but they still support it

Small business it actually can be a meaningful way to refer people digitally and make business connections.

I think big business it's also a way of keeping in contact with former colleagues so that when you're interested in jumping to another company you can do it easily in one place.

Otherwise it's a place for sales people to pump out garbage posts.

Yeah but who the heck even reads those? Whole 'social feed' is just bunch of pathetic 'look at me how I am engaging!' farts that is disgusting. Do recruiters participate? If yes who cares. Do engineers actually participate? I would expect some grifters and bullshitters but nobody serious.

If feels cringy and disgusting, apologies to engineers here who worked hard on that but that has no place in anything related to professionals and careers. I go there once every few years, do accept meaninglessly on all new connections and log off, ignoring all other parts. If I lose the job I'll update profile but otherwise the same.

I've seen people cross-post technical content on LI, but never use it as their main platform.

In any case, the best advice I got on LinkedIn was from a mentor helping me find my first SE job who told me: You don't have to like it, but you would be stupid not to use it.

Why are there so many people making code editors?

It seems like we've hit a veritable Cambrian explosion of editors and I don't understand what market signals are being picked up where people find the editors insufficient.

Do you consider forking VSCode making a code editor? I wouldn't. Not that this is one of those, but most "new" editors seem to be.

LSP for sure. I was itching to try my hand at it when they first got big, but never got around to it.

Software is changing, everything is up for grabs. Lots of people are making Notion clones, slack clones, browsers, IDEs.

As an anecdote - I really want to see consolidation here. All my chat services under one parent application. WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Messenger.

I really don't care about the vendor for chat services, just exhausted of installing multiple clients and many of the clients being pretty garbage.

I would also like to say the same for many services. Online banking is top of mind for me right now as I have several bank accounts chasing competitive savings rates.

I'm pretty sure you don't want Teams to be the winner of consolidation. Unfortunately it's for the advantage of being included for free for ever big company using M365. We are fighting a losing battle to keep Slack.

A funny workaround I employed is running Beeper. It's a Matrix client that also provides chat mirroring for other platforms. The sync is slightly jank but it works for what I want to achieve

The mirroring stuff is FOSS and I think so is the client, the financial model being that you're limited to a fairly low amount of services proxies at once without a paid plan

> All my chat services under one parent application. WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Messenger.

There was a time where one application for multiple chat services was a thing, e.g. Pidgin, Trillian or Miranda. With thw death of ICQ, AIM or MSN this is pretty much history.
