@mrfundman You can not like it, you’re welcome to your opinion. Just don’t be a jackass about your opinion

Yes it’s stainless steel. Yes it’s bulletproof-ish. Yes 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Yes it has self driving. Yes it looks like a spaceship from the future. Yes it’s made in USA. Yes if you don’t like it you don’t have taste.

@starthrower @wholemars 💯 Rivian. Not a fan

@wholemars not if it looked like that. nothing Tesla about tis design.

Tesla CyberSUV Concept — Built on Cybertruck platform — Steer by wire, 48 volt, rear wheel steering — Charge up to 500 kW with 4680 structural pack — 7 or 8 seat configurations — AI5 self-driving — Starts at $79,990 Would you buy one?

@Dave_DotNet Very useful at my last gig. Wasn’t EF Core, ymmv. BUT I created an adapter that deeply integrated in the core query engine where filter was universally applied (unless specifically loading deletes). You can’t rely on adding filters manually everywhere; that’s where you get weird

Real life experiences with soft delete within Entity Framework #dotnet

@cybrtrkguy Now take the cash you were putting into paying extra and apply that to inputting into a mutual fund. You’d be way ahead of that 6% loan interest you’d be paying

Just paid off my Cybertruck, less than two years after taking original delivery. 🥳 In 2024, purchasing a $100k vehicle made me pucker. Our payment was well over a thousand bucks. For the last 2-3 years, I've been aggressively building my digital marketing & videography business, and 6 months ago I quit my job and dove in full-time. While both purchasing a $100k truck and quitting my job were both insane risks at the time, we've been unquestionably blessed with sustained business and endless work. Late nights and working weekends to create content, build websites, photograph events, write articles, film weddings, you name it. I now own my Cybertruck exclusively, free and clear. Blessed.

@sri9s Already has for me. 30y software dev and Ill never have that position again. I work completely solo now simply managing the AI

They say AI will create entirely new jobs we can’t even imagine yet. So, name one

@housecor 💯

I thought AI would lead to worse code. I was wrong. My code is better than ever because I'm more willing to refactor when AI does it for me. I'm more likely to improve my code when I don't have to worry about how much work it requires. I just sick the clanker on it.

@yash_patel2003 As 30yr developer veteran - yes, yes I do. Look at the cinema being created right now with AI

@avrldotdev Do you really think that's going to happen? Like if you are the CEO of a tech startup would you trust AI that much that you leave everything for it?

Software engineers, what's your plan when AI develops better taste & architectural/systems knowledge than you in next 3-4 years?

@aaronjcash Embrace it. This is good. This only adds momentum to EV infra build-out

Supercharger full with half non-teslas 😩

@greggertruck Hahaha. Same boat

What would extending my garage about 4 more inches cost?

@realcezarc @yacineMTB Makes sense for that one, FE dev. But makes zero sense for the org nor business.

@yacineMTB Graphql makes sense if you’re a frontend dev and don’t want to deal with backend devs. Does it still make sense post-LLMs?! Now gRPC makes sense if you’re a backend dev and don’t want to deal with …

Graphql is genuinely the most retarded idea ever. There used to be an entire career around graphql Honestly the best part about automating programmers is that I don't have to hire people, which means that I don't have to tolerate bad engineering decisions

@GregOwen70 @grugcapital Oh ho ho. Look at Richy Rich over here with more than two buckets!

@grugcapital There isn't enough information to know how many buckets I have. This only says how much water is in two of my buckets. I could have dozens of other buckets used for other things.

This question is asked at Citadel for $650k/year roles: If you have one bucket filled with 3 gallons of water and another bucket filled with 2 gallons of water, how many buckets do you have? 99% of people fail

@Vodkasour1 @JeffDaw09911702 @grugcapital Doesn’t even tell you the total of how many are filled

@JeffDaw09911702 @grugcapital The answer is you have no idea how many buckets you have. The question does not specify if filled buckets are to be excluded, and it definitely doesn’t specify if you have any other buckets standing by. It just tells you how many are filled and asks you how many you have.

@davepl1968 Younger gens will think you made this up with AI

Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier. This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!

@johncrickett There was a blog post a few years back making the case for postgres being the entire stack. It has so many extensions for things like REST, user management, etc. And is such a stable and distributed platform, it actually made some sense.

Should your database do it all or just store the data? I was part of an interesting debate yesterday between those wanting to avoid lock-in and those wanting fewer dependencies. Which side do you fall on? For me, I'd rather do more with fewer dependencies.

@Umesh__digital @kapilansh_twt Nope

@kapilansh_twt through encrypted email, outlook and has one feature for that.

how do teams actually share .env variables securely because the options I see are - Slack DM (terrible) - email (worse) - shared Notion doc (somehow even worse) - 1Password or similar - something I'm missing

@kapilansh_twt This is a smell. Anything sensitive, like keys, should be put into a secure key store. Devops should be in charge of it and not a general concern for a dev.

@KilowattGirl73 You remove them. Bin them. Add center caps. You’ll look better and solve two other problems all at once

Ok Cybertruck Peeps! What are we using on the Cyberwheels to get the brownish orange discoloration off of them? It’s starting to annoy me and nothing I have in my arsenal is working. TYIA 😊

@kristijan_kralj Late stage dev here. And I agree. Took too long than Id like to admit to learn it

The hidden cost of "enterprise" .NET architecture: Debugging hell. I've spent 13+ years in .NET codebases, and I keep seeing the same pattern: Teams add layers upon layers, to solve the problems they don't have. IUserService calls IUserRepository. IUserRepository wraps IUserDataAccess. IUserDataAccess calls IUserQueryBuilder. IUserQueryBuilder finally hits the database. I've seen a lot of classes having one-line methods whose sole purpose was to call the next layer and that's it. But to change one validation rule, you step through 5 layers. To fix a bug, you open 7 files. The justification is always the same: "What if we need to swap out Entity Framework?" "What if we switch databases?" "What if we need multiple implementations?" What if this, what if that. The reality: Those "what ifs" don't come to life in 99% of cases. I haven't worked on a project where we had to swap the ORM. But I've seen dozens of developers waste hours navigating through abstraction mazes. This happens with both new and experienced developers. New developers asking on Slack all the time: "Where to put this new piece of code?" But senior developers are too busy to answer that message. Why? Because they are debugging through the code that has more layers than a wedding cake. The end result? You spend more time navigating than building. Good abstractions hide complexity. Bad abstractions ARE the complexity. And most enterprise .NET apps? Way too much of the second kind.

@thequeenbeetle Rollout has to start somewhere

What, I, a non-Tesla obsessed ordinary person who isn't on Twitter sees - Teslas being manually driven by a human. What Tesla investors see - a fantasy that they've gone all in on

@Jones1 I pay for $20 for touchless and achieve 80% of this cleanse in 5m
