@nathan_covey The best is Microsoft. Agent doesn't work, first human or three have absolutely no idea how to help.

I've never had an AI support agent ever actually solve my problem. I have to escalate to a human every time.

@sbworld @paulg

@paulg Do you think someone asking you that question should start a startup?

Someone asked if it's a good idea to start a startup when you have nothing notable on your resume. Absolutely. All that matters in a startup is whether users like the product, and users don't care (either way) what's on your resume.

@karomancer Yeah I'm not doing anything hourly if I can help it. I either plop out a project or I'm on retainer. Worst case scenario is.. I get an actual job doing this (which is fine too). I just wanna solve problems.

@BobTells oh hell yeah I think in the age of agentic coding, retainers are the way. I'm finding hourly doesn't make as much sense anymore (plus, you don't want your payment to be tied to your labor...that's a surefire way to just make ends meet and not save a lot in my experience!)

Dear fellow software dev contractor/freelancers: How many repos are you working on actively right now?

@karomancer My last company paid a guy like me way too much and he did nothing like this. Taught him a few tricks as I got canned, but I'm already way beyond that. So hoping I can find someone that puts me on retainer for x hours/month.

@karomancer No secrets. Working with MS Power Platform stuff.. so preset controls/layouts/etc But basically a one stop show to see all the live apps, documentation, code behind them, power automate failures, bug reports, etc.

@dougboneparth Voted for Gordon

@BenjaminMuses @Quasicodo But but but, it was about free speech! Or at least his convoluted version of it.

@BobTells @Quasicodo 100% the solution is obvious but he paid 44 billion dollars for this website lol

the most effective tool in their toolkit is simply turning off monetization...

@BenjaminMuses @Quasicodo Yeah.. guarantee its the decision maker on this.

@BobTells @Quasicodo And revenue from everyone paying for twitter blue. Quite the dilemma

@Quasicodo @BenjaminMuses They would lose ad revenue

@BenjaminMuses They would lose between 0 - 10 accounts. #justdoit

@Austen Does everyone just think it's magic?

Not gonna lie this seems like a good thing for US taxpayers to fund

@jaredrosnerd Kuwait for me, hit 128

The hottest summer I ever spent was a winter in San Francisco

@AmberIllig @VCBrags I respect the honesty. Dirtbag move but somehow better than lying

@VCBrags they said the silent part out loud

“Is a woman (ideally between 25 - 33 years old) and doesn't have children” 🤨🤨🤨🤨🧐🧐🧐

@nintendobenzo @buccocapital Knowing who he is doesn't change things

@buccocapital Most Americans just aren’t even paying attention. Most probably have no idea who this even is.

If we ultimately have a capital-R Revolution in America, historians will look back to this as the moment that woke the people up; where the coordinated, rhythmic chant of "Enough" began to ring out in town squares across this hallowed nation

@ad0rnai Bummer, I'm moderately off-putting

I am hiring someone who is: - terminally offline - not in any group chats - has covered the curriculum of the great books program - idiosyncratic - slightly off-putting

@mayonjohn77 @annu960x @Notwokenow 25 years is good for anyone pulling a gun on someone to rob them.

This wasn’t, “oops, I accidentally pulled a gun out on a guy, put it in his face and robbed him. I didn’t mean to do that.” Unless the kid lived under a rock, everyone knows that robbing someone, especially with a gun, is wrong. There are zero excuses for that behavior. That sentence is the consequence of his actions. Own it and deal with it. If you can’t do the time, then don’t commit the crime.

This 18 year old man’s family breaks down when they hear the judge issue a 25 year sentence for armed robbery. Caden Fontenette and 2 other young men used firearms to rob the Bulldog Convenience store. Judge West said, “Things have just changed in such an incredibly dangerous way with young people doing what I just saw you do on that screen. I cannot imagine the fear that person had that was working in that store. Just trying to go to work, make a living and go home. He has three people come in and not just grab a little quick something and run out, but terrorize him for quite some time. Pulling him around, yanking him around, putting guns in his face. All three of you.” Judge Raquel West also pointed out that Fontenette has been involved in violent altercations since he has been in jail following his arrest. He will be eligible for parole after serving 50% of his sentence. Well before he turns 40.

@Zizaran It's not 99.42% of players. If I do it 100 times and win all and you do it once and fail, we're 100 out of 101

99.42% of players win against Saresh and I actually know a guy that died to him!!

@aarondfrancis Not even close.

Are designers cooked? I tried Google's new Stitch product! (no, of course designers aren't cooked, but stitch is super cool) youtu.be/tm9im-3g8fY

Why would @Microsoft get timezones right for their booking page? Luckily their ai bot couldn't help and now 14 overseas support staff are going to email me. This aint the way.

@Quasicodo I'm actually building around the dependency haha.. but for the moment yes it is.

@BobTells what...dependability oscillates...that sounds like a problem...

Claude is absolutely fucking useless tonight
