@SiGallagher @jeremybp @sama You're forgetting one important factor of how our economy works - companies need people to buy their stuff. If everyone is out of a job, then no one will be able to afford most of the things companies make.

So you’d like to be in the pocket of the government for your entire life? Do you realise the hoops people currently on benefits have to jump through to justify their existence? You actively want that. The government barely even matters when companies have more money and more influence than them. Who do you think lobbies them?

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

@duolingo We've been kicked out of our family plan - only my wife who set up the plan still has access. She tried to reinvite us but it says the invitation is no longer valid.

@mcuban @DemattosJeffrey Interesting stuff. Have you seen any direct impacts on VC funding? Currently seeking late seed funding for my cybersecurity startup and definitely getting a lot more hesitant signals from funding sources than I think we would have had a year ago… curious your sense on that.

Let’s talk about why inflation isn’t up, as economists predicted. It’s really simple. I see it in all my product based companies. 1. They borrow money or use their available cash to front run the tariffs and buy as much inventory as they can. 3, 6 months or longer. In many cases they get a better price because the mfg knows the risks post tariffs 2. But that cash is expensive. They either lose the ability to earn interest , (4pct) the ability to invest in other parts of their biz or they pay interest on a loan (10 to 20 pct ) 3. None of the above is a positive. Not having cash or add to their liabilities is a risk. 4. They see the on and off again tariffs in action , so they don’t know how long their inventory will have the value they expected 5. So they don’t raise prices. In fact they may even discount some as a way to clear out inventory and replenish cash or pay down expensive loans 6. This isnt just small companies. This is all companies facing this. This is why Walmart says they will be raising prices in the future. The variance in tariffs has made it impossible to know how to manage costs , so you do all you can to clear out inventory and get back to cash. And take your chances on tariffs not being as big as you feared. 7. This is why prices haven’t gone up to this point

@DrMattBob @RossKneeDeep The research does not back this up. Productivity is generally better in WFH/Hybrid environments. Your assertion is not backed by the data.

During Covid, working from home seemed to be very successful and advantageous for employees. Why are so many employers making their employees come back to the office?

@rakyll My experience is the opposite - larger companies can often let a lot of stuff slip into the codebase that would never pass scrutiny at any startup I've worked at.

People coming from startups to large companies sometimes underestimate how much damage could be done by shipping crap. If you ship crap, it sometimes drags the company and cause exponential damage. People build layers of crap over crap. At a startup, the damage is contained.

@jack__smitham Yes and no. Micromanaging is more common in smaller organizations. A key differentiator is native remote vs. native office companies. The former have no reasons to change, but the latter often thought of Remote/Hybrid as temporary.

I usually don’t post about topics other than #data. But is there a more relevant news today? I was discussing with a friend about when (good or wrong, it doesn’t matter) other companies will align to Amazon. 1 year, 2 years, or more? cnbc.com/2024/09/16/ama…

@marcorus @howdataworks Hybrid and remote work is actually on the rise. Other big tech may follow suit but startups and newer tech companies will use remote and hybrid work as a tool to attract talent.

@howdataworks I don't know. I would have said 1-2 years before today because it was a process already in place, but I would have expected to stop at 3 to 4 days in office. Amazon raising it to 5 days means that (many) others will follow, and the process could accelerate.

@SarahPerezTC @HilzFuld iOS has tons of AI-powered stuff, but sprinkled in in ways that are just delightful and not like "in your face AI". And +1 what Hillel is saying- the iOS/MacOS ecosystem is just so amazing, how everything works so well together, etc... I vote stay iOS :)

@disneyglimpses Problem is that would still be too many people on G+. But maybe tier it - $10 for deluxe (or free), $15 for moderate, $20 for value, and $49 for everyone else.

Genie+ should be free for resort guests and $49/guest for everyone else. ILL stays as is. I'm not convinced that the money they make on Genie+ (particularly with resort guests) is simply lost somewhere else. False sense of incremental revenue.

Disney published a new "Fact vs Fiction" page on its Vote Disney website that refutes claims made by Nelson Peltz and Trian Fund Management. Disney specifically addressed Peltz's track record and Jay Rasulo's "stale" perspective on the media industry.

This is a *perfect* example of how an overly literal interpretation can screw you over and cause great harm. In finance, "segregation of duties" means the person who submits expenses shouldn't also be the person who approves those expenses. In tech, it means get a code review.
Michael Smith@msmith16384

@mipsytipsy @fintechdevcon Thanks for this! Have you had to deal with the new segregation of duties requirements in ISO 27002:2022 yet? Some of them seem not very fun, like (d) looks like it’s saying you can’t develop code and also operate it. isms.online/iso-27002/cont…

Great🧵on the perceived tension between compliance and modern CI/CD best practices. tl; dr; the tension is artificial - CI/CD is not only compatible, but more fully achieved the intention behind various compliance frameworks.
Charity Majors@mipsytipsy

I just got back from @fintechdevcon in Austin. It was a super fun trip (notwithstanding the 105 degree air 🥵). I gave a new talk while I was there, on why compliance and regulatory standards are ✨not✨ incompatible with modern development best practices.

@mipsytipsy I am VP of Eng for a company focused on a product to (among other things) help with compliance. This is exactly right and what we do internally as well as help other companies achieve through our product. Compliance and CICD are not incompatible.

Reuse without shame! This reminds me of something else I wanted to say. There is a TERRIBLE dearth of testimonials and use cases from engineers on how they've interpreted or implemented regulations, or the arguments they have successfully used to pass sane policies by auditors.

@CbCtravels @disneyglimpses @mmontuori @ScottGustin There are very valid reasons for changing RCID, Democrats wanted to do it in 1990s, until last year the local paper was very critical of it. Just seems like it would be very hard to prove intent 100%.
