I agree that you have to work insanely hard to build a successful startup. Shut up and do the work though instead of talking yourself hard on a podcast.

I want all of this too. I think this is also an interesting time to recognize that this isn't a vibe-code lift. In order to accomplish this, it will take a ton of great engineers empowered by AI to make great decisions. Not AI with a /goal.

@karrisaarinen I have a draft blog post swirling around this exact topic (but not refined enough to publish yet). I think the key thing is I (personally) don't want a NEW GitHub. I want GitHub to be better. For example: - GitHub issues should be as beautiful and good as Linear - GitHub PRs

@nikitabier Took me a month to get through - was finally approved this past week. Apple called yesterday though and gave me some pointers. They also mentioned they’re way behind right now.

@jshchnz @sentry How are you guys managing your costs around that?? I’m over at CloudZero and we’re trying to help wrangle all this!

@iamdavidhill @T_Zahil @opencode Yeep…my fault lol. I went to the docs and couldn’t find it and assumed it was behind a private preview - that’s on me!

@sama Could we get the API team to fix the usage API so we can help your customers see what they're spending money on? It'll help them spend more over time if they can see where it's going!

@dhh Did you have to do anything special on the install for the G14? I had issues where the wifi card in mine wouldn't work - and no drivers that were offered

@dhh Agree with this 100% - what's wild to me is that none of them seem to work reliably....is this an open market to make something better? Or is it the world's way of telling us we need to just saw stuff it to home automation nonsense?

I have an appointment with @optimum to fix my Internet in the morning, they sent a really cool text saying their advanced troubleshooting department might be able to fix it - they called, and it was the same unplug replug dance. So, really great idea, not great execution.

If you are a Rails (or Laravel) developer and not studying Fizzy’s source code, especially @bitsweat and @jorgemanru ‘s PRs, you are missing out on a ton of excellent learning opportunities. It’s a gift that keeps giving, the deeper you go. And having all that git history available is chef’s kiss 👌

Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of

Love the concept, what do the customers think of the autonomous agent though? Most times when I run into these they just reference documentation and close out despite being a legitimate issue.

Kubernetes migration almost killed our startup. Where we were: - 8 EC2 instances - Ansible for deploys - Boring but working - $1200/month AWS bill Why we migrated: - New investor wanted 'cloud-native' - Engineers wanted K8s experience - Competitors were using it - Seemed like the future 6 months later: - 3 engineers spending full-time on K8s - AWS bill at $4500/month - Deploys took longer than before - More outages, not fewer - Product development stalled We rolled back: - Moved to ECS Fargate - 2 week migration - Back to $1800/month - Engineers back on features K8s is amazing for scale. We weren't at scale. Technology should solve problems you actually have.

Learn to ship. Shipping is a skill distinct from coding. Shipping is designing, coding, QAing, story-telling, teaching, marketing, selling, pivoting, iterating… It used to be that coding dominated in importance because of coding ability scarcity. AI will push you to go further.

@mitchellh So I'm thinking a little small minded here, but this obviously opens the door to having a really cool remote management tool. But could this enable a full neovim env in the browser that just works? What is it you see this really unlocking that I'm not thinking about?
