@ryanflorence Oh so it’s not connected to internet? Interesting. I just assumed they were using the Mac mini as a server.

@DustinTownsend mac mini in the office doesn't have to worry much about security aside from being stolen from the office.

Talked to my friend who owns a small business
He replaced their CRM with one he built with Claude Code a few months ago
He is not a programmer, has never seen the code, doesn't know what stack it used
It runs on a mac mini in their office

@mbriggs_dev Building stuff == dopamine. AI multiplies that exponentially. The cycle of prompt -> {dopamine} -> repeat can be like playing a slot machine.

Why is there so much anti-LoC rhetoric?
At some point, more features, edge cases, security, and reliability require more code. There’s no magic abstraction that lets you build an operating system in 500 lines.
Unless you’re building a todo app, you’ll need lots of code.

There is likely going to be mass revolt around software devs due to the amount of software churn in the AI era.
We can stop this. We’re probably won’t though.

Dear Software Devs. FUCKING STOP. STOP UPDATING YOUR FUCKING PRODUCTS. IVE NEVER ONCE IN MY LIFE INSTALLED AN UPDATE AND SAID "wow, this software is so much better now" NO! ITS ALWAYS WORSE THAN WHEN I INSTALLED IT! FUCKING STOOOOOOOOP FUCKING UP YOUR OWN FUCKING SOFTWARE -🍷

I've been a Tesla convert for years. Model X, Model S Plaid, Cyberbeast. But the Model Y we just got still blew me away! It feels so tight, so well built, so right. Unbelievably good car and good value. It sending an Aston Martin DBX 707 and Taycan Turbo S out of the fleet!

@walterwhitepill 4. Pay in full for the 20% discount using a credit card with 0% interest offer.

Finance IQ Test
I owe $13,000 in medical debt for the birth of my son (after insurance on a Silver Blue Cross Blue Shield plan). I have two options from the hospital:
1. Payment plan, 36 months at 0% interest
2. Pay in full by Aug 1st for a 20% discount
3. Not pay

@PalmerLuckey I would pay USPS a subscription fee to not deliver all that junk. Who in their right mind really likes getting junk mail?
English
It is wild to see the ideological reversal associated with USPS.
Hundreds of green socialists crying "No, you have to let the capitalist megacorporations raze hundreds of millions of trees! You have to let the government force-feed consoooomer advertising to your family!"
Palmer Luckey@PalmerLuckey
It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail. Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

OK this is a superb characteristic of Google Cloud Run I just learned
Building zonal redundancy is a bunch of work… when a platform offers it, it’s worth paying attention to (don’t know of many platforms that do)
Thanks @steren
Steren@steren
FYI, Cloud Run gives you *zonal* redundancy out of the box, which means that if GCP loses a zone, your worloads are automatically moved to healthy zones in the region. You can also build multi-*regional* architectures with automated fail over using service health.

the new immersive sound max mode in the Tesla spring update sounds great!
You can really hear the song come to life as you slide the slider up.

@addyosmani @johncrickett Pascal was also my first programming language. The most interesting thing I made was tic-tac-toe.
English
@johncrickett Loved Delphi. Pascal was my first programming language and it enabled me to build so much.
