Feel hand/human written code of an experienced individual should be more valuable for a business than one created by agents. Surely, agents and humans might be using the same underlying frameworks or programming languages, but the value difference depends on the breadth and depth of experience. Agents gives you the breadth but an experienced individuals give you the depth in understanding/problem solving.
Looks like this post somehow is not even on the front page of HN anymore. CF pulling some strings maybe, they don't have this incident on top of their current list.
When liability of a corporation and its owners is limited, does it benefit their business to be dilligent in every step or have a mentality of move fast and break things?
"Customers deployed on the new FL2 proxy engine, observed HTTP 5xx errors. Customers on our old proxy engine, known as FL, did not see errors, but bot scores were not generated correctly, resulting in all traffic receiving a bot score of zero."
This simply means, the exception handling quality of your new FL2 is non-existent and is not at par / code logic wise similar to FL.
I hope it was not because of AI driven efficiency gains.

In most domains, silently returning 0 in a case where your logic didn't actually calculate the thing you were trying to calculate is far worse than giving a clear error.
India’s current governance systems often rely on centralized databases, which can be prone to errors, fraud, and lack of transparency. Blockchain technology addresses these challenges through its tamper-resistant, distributed ledger system, where records are securely maintained across multiple nodes. This design makes unauthorized modifications virtually impossible and significantly enhances data integrity and trust.
Seems like we need more anti-trust cases on AWS or need to break it down, it is becoming too big. Services used in rest of the world get impacted by issues in one region.
But they aren't abusing their market power, are they? I mean, they are too big and should definitely be regulated but I don't think you can argue they are much of a monopoly when others, at the very least Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Cloudflare (depending on the specific services you want) and smaller providers can offer you the same service and many times with better pricing. Same way we need to regulate companies like Cloudflare essentially being a MITM for ~20% of internet websites, per their 2024 report.
Privatize the profits and socialize the losses, is this too difficult to understand of being the core motto of a private equity firm. A PE firm will not have patients at the top of their priority, unless legislation enforces and regulates that.
This is essentially just how capitalism works. Money is the only priority. So in ANY market where the financial incentive opposes human well-being, humans will suffer. That’s true in healthcare, where we’re often getting a worse product which is more expensive. While in other industries like consumer electronics, the incentives are aligned and humans are getting better products for cheaper.
The PE firm is a great representation of why monopolies eradicate the positive incentives in capitalism.
And this only happens after a long time and companies have had a chance to centralize vast amounts of money and power. Since there is no point that’s “good enough,” these massive companies are forced to continue growing by cutting costs (worse services, lower salary, fewer employees, closing locations) or doing absurd tricks like stock buy-backs to make their shareholders and executives very wealthy.
It’s literally impossible to avoid this situation without strong consumer protection and anti-trust regulation because the incentives for massive companies are so deeply unaligned with human well-being and society’s best interests.
We can either take strong action against massive companies or accept that this trend will inevitably get worse. It’s called late stage capitalism for a good reason
