Share a bit. I don’t want to belittle the category of software. People did amazing work in the world of payroll software (agile manifest etc). But at some point a csv is created and it has a row per payee and it happens twice a week. Shopify pays out millions of businesses and moves billions a day. And we took 20m of financing ever before we went public (and had it all still in the bank when we did).
The scale of nonsense that’s happening with government bespoke software is just unexplainable without fraudulent intent. But it also tracks with everything else you hear about government efficiency (minus maybe military). It’s not that it costs 10b to make a payroll software that is the problem. It’s that it costs this much for anything that the government tries to do itself. The only conclusion is that the government needs to do a lot less.

I built enterprise scale payroll. I’m supposed to know a thing or two about how payroll evolves, scalability (100s of 1000s of paystubs), accuracy, compliance. And the cost of building and maintaining these systems.
This is shocking by just about any yardstick I can think of.👇

10 billion dollars in tax wasted trying and failing to make software that generates a CSV file with 450k rows in it twice a month.

@hazan0608 Cars sound good on paper, but then your floors are covered with dirt and fluids. You could do so much better:

Please consider doubling your spend @jgebbia, and splurging on the Zebra Steel G-750 .7mm
Slightly heavier, with a tactical stealth ascetic and satisfying actuation on deployment.

Come say hi next time @zachdive For those asking about the device in my hand: it is a Muji Gel Ink pen in Black. 0.3mm. For $3.40, it is the best pen money can buy.

@dmacpher Sir, it would seem that it is held together with a rubber band but you've omitted the obligatory duck tape.

@gmforbes35 “It’s not just X — it’s Y” is an AI slop antithesis.

The long dash line between "car" and "it's" is called an "em dash" and is a classic tell tale sign the text is AI generated.

Always despised Discord and trying to keep up with communities on there - but working with agents on Discord is 10x better than Telegram.

Try to get Claude to generate HLSL shaders for MonoGame and let me know how that works out for you….

@MartinShkreli @luljoshin He’s got you confused with the dynamic duo of Banting and Best.

you know shits getting bad when the guy who made insulin cost 5000% more for easy profit off poor Americans and then used that money to pay $2 Million for a 1/1 Wu Tang album that was eventually seized by the US Government on allegations of fraud,
starts agreeing with ur side….

@bscholl @joshelman Why not electrochromic film? Probably lighter and is pretty cool on the DreamLiner....

@joshelman Maybe we should remove window shades on Overture 🤔

I am always amazed how many people with window seats on an airplane shut their windows.
I still have so much awe looking down from 40k feet and got a great view of Mount Hood today once we got below the clouds.

Half the Internet: don’t you know this is a terrible idea?
Other half the Internet: plutonium would work better!

A much better solution is to mix uranium into the concrete. The driveway will stay warm year around and never needs any kind of snow removal.

60CM of snow in Scarborough! That's a new record since they started keeping records in 1938. I can't say I've ever had waist-deep snow in my lifetime of living in Ontario. Wowza!

@TdLeaker Not going to happen. We sold out our predecessors and the Canadian Dream they built. Better to leave.

@PalmerLuckey @ekwufinance I’ll do it for $11M and wear a dress at the same time.

@ekwufinance It is just a backdoor nuke plant ban. No different than mandating that 50% of oil rig workers be female.
English
This is why Western nuclear reactors are delayed and plagued by cost overruns.
- UK's bidding process to select the developer of nuclear reactors cost £22 million and took 2 years
- It included 350 pages dedicated to hiring disadvantaged groups.
- Firms had to prove their social value.
- 50% of the people working on the contract had to be women.
This is how you regulate yourself into irrelevance.

It’s just the psychosis from second hand cannabis smoke, Alex.

Hey X pilots: help me out. I am on a 787-9 in seat 1K, flying Istanbul to JFK. Weather was heavy low clouds and rainy. Takeoff was normal but two minutes in there was a LOUD bang and a bright pink cloud of sparks (apparently) just outside my window. The plane shuddered but kept climbing. We leveled off and circled for about 15-20 minutes at 13000 feet. Total silence from crew. Then the pilots announced the plane was fine and we had been cleared to continue onward. Everything’s been normal since then, we are now over the Atlantic. What happened?
