@tferriss They’re likely collectively overvalued but individually undervalued. Rationale: It’s a winner-takes-all market because people switch to currently best one without hesitation. It’s unclear who’ll be the winner, though.

Do you think that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other foundation model companies are undervalued or overvalued? What's your rationale?

@ChShersh You’ve already accomplished that. You react in C++ every day here on X.

Here me out. React but in C++

@ChShersh btw, this feature is unsafe in Rust

I’ll start. Mine is employment.

What’s your favourite C++ feature?

@ChShersh @zerut16 Haskell did not?

@zerut16 It cured my depression

why do u love c++ so much? @ChShersh

@fchollet For most companies, the cost of a SaaS is not the main problem. It’s the cost of switching from one SaaS to another. The SaaS-pocalypse will likely come from integration, like if MS Outlook suddenly included approval of vacation day requests or travel expense reporting.

Google uses Workday. Huge contract. You think Google, the software company most prone to rolling out internal tools for any random employee task, couldn't make its own Workday for all these years because the *code* was too expensive to write? It would have been 1 week for 1 Google dev top

Cloning any random piece of SaaS is something that could already be done before agentic coding, and the economics of it haven't changed meaningfully. Before, writing the clone would cost 0.5-1% of the valuation of the legacy SaaS company. Now it might be 0.1%. It doesn't make a difference -- if you can pull it off profitably today you could also have done it profitably in the past. The code is a very small part of the process of making such a clone successful, and the reason legacy software has often bad UX is not because code was expensive to write.

@robinalexander_ @rosidaggi Yes! Yes! Yes! Endlich nicht mehr sieben Tage warten

„Machtwechsel“, der Politikpodcast Ihres Vertrauens, erscheint ab jetzt in neuem Gewand – und das gleich zweimal pro Woche! Hier schon einmal ein Trailer. Und morgen (Mittwoch) früh haben @rosidaggi und ich einen ganz besonderen Gesprächspartner ... 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=ex3-8G… oder hier hier: open.spotify.com/episode/7BTTQZ…

@Alex_TheAnalyst One day you will wake up and say to yourself: “From today on, it’s gonn be C++.”

The amazing thing about life is you can completely re-invent yourself whenever you want! Most people do it during big events in their life - Moving across the country, new job, going to college, etc - times where you are starting over or starting fresh. Honestly, you could just do it now. You could wake up tomorrow and decide to change tons of things. Start working out, start taking classes, start wearing different clothes. Anything you want! I completely changed myself after college. I was about to move across the country to do an Internship in Dallas and I shaved my head. Just to try something new! And I wouldn't ever go back to who I was or how I was living before. Take a chance and trying something new. Become the person you want to be.

@hmemcpy This insurance application has probably been designed with "Faktor-IPS" (faktorzehn.org/en/). The code looks auto-generated.

that's what you get for 56k euro annual salary

@tsoding Things that used to be difficult can now be created with a magic spell. Suddenly I’m a powerful sorcerer. Alas, everybody else is too.

I think I'm starting to understand the appeal of gen AI. It makes people think like they are winning at some game while the game they are playing is actually the wrong one. Just like gambling. Casino always wins.

@ainyrockstar Wer Sport in einem Fallschirm machen muss, kann gar nicht konkurrenzfähig sein.

Was auch traurig ist: Dass wir keine konkurrenzfähige Eisschnellläuferin mehr haben.

When you have trust in your relationships, they take less effort to maintain and manage. Who's someone you respect and trust? ⬇️

Hey @apple, I can't insert images into PDFs anymore on Tahoe! What's going on?

@ThatArrowsmith Living in Europe, my impression is that hardly anybody really wants to advance anything here. It’s as if most people felt entitled to an eternal vacation.

My timeline on every app is filled with Europeans desperately trying to prove that they're better than the US. But I never see Americans making the same kind of post in the other direction. Funny how only one side feels that they have something to prove.

Why is C++ called what it is? It’s neither “++” nor solely C anymore. It’s just a part of C with classes or object orientation added to it so that its code thickens…

@ThatArrowsmith Are these AI bots or AI “experts”? Why do they comment that? To get you to click on their profile?

AI has become the background radiation of human discourse

@unclebobmartin So far he’s been unable to force the EU to get rid of cookie banners. Disappointing.

@pthibaut « Peut-on encore les sauver ? » est la traduction littérale de « Sind die noch zu retten? », mais je crois que Der Spiegel a fait un jeu de mots et c’est plutôt « Ils sont fou ou quoi? » / « Ils ont perdu la tête? » / « Ils sont cinglés? »

@ChShersh Always ad linguam, never ad hominem 😂

On the Internet, it's easy to cross the jesting banter line and suddenly start sounding mean. Remember that dunking on technologies is fine, and you shouldn't be offended when someone says something bad about your favourite programming language. For example, if I say, "Go is dumb", and you reply, "No, C++ is dumb", then it's perfectly fine, we have a good laugh and move on. But when I say, "Python/Go/C/Rust/JS/PHP/Perl/Java is dumb", and you reply, "No, you're stupid!", then you crossed a line by replying with ad hominem to a random person on the Internet. Don't do that.

@DellAnnaLuca Most school teachers have seen businesses probably only from the consumer side and lack crucial business knowledge. From their point of view, equality is achieved via redistributing wealth from those who acquired business knowledge by themselves to those who didn’t.

If schools cared about equality, they’d teach salary negotiations, price expectations, and related tacit knowledge.

@ChShersh AI = one large artificial neural network trained on curated data LinkedIn = millions of tiny natural neural networks trained on bullshit

@rhoeppner What’s the difference

Some of replies to my posts smell like AI. I can’t prove it. But they just feel like generic slop with artificial positivity without saying anything meaningful.
