Being one of the premiere AI companies is much more exciting to investors than "running a company using AI" which everyone can do

Should go back to the good old days when Verisign was the only provider and they cost $500 each

Isn't a Claude subscription limited to non work / small side projects though? Being regularly rate limited has a major impact on productivity

I see a lot of responses here taking the purist line: that it's not real design and customers will know the difference. I suspect it's close enough in many cases that customers won't know or won't care. Likely it will have a big impact on design employment.

Quick: let's release something new that gives the appearance that we're still relevant

Shutdown because they either stopped paying their dues or didn't agree to the recent increase

Yep if you wrote lambda@edge functions, which are part of Cloudfront and can be used for authentication among other things, they can only be deployed to us-east-1

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

> This utterly baffles me. [checks] The post isn't 25y old. Author is obviously intelligent and posses self awareness and analytical skills.

One lens on this is that according to him he hasn't sold a single share since he left the company. That would mean he has a substantial monetary reason to see that people keep believing in HP.

Had a black and white laserjet printer in the late 1980s. Was a magnificent device and super reliable.

Those 2 charts are amazing! At least the Itanium people adjusted their curves downward over time, looks like the IEA just carried on regardless!

So a 145% tariff on high tech goods will hurt the US too much? China should ban high tech exports to the US. That's gonna hurt both sides but the war was already started by Trump.

Actually I wrote it for Elon then added the headcount reduction!

From an alternate universe:

I apologize for my erratic behavior which has tarnished our brand and created unnecessary turmoil within our organization. Regrettably, we will need to implement a 16% reduction in headcount to address the financial challenges we now face. I have decided to step aside and hand over control to my deputy, who I believe will provide the steady leadership needed to rebuild trust and restore our company's vision.

I think it's smart to start with a high level language which should reduce development time, prove the worth of the application, then switch to a lower level language later.

What was that saying again? Premature optimisation is the root of all evil

Save money and go analog! Calibrate against a known spectrum. One example would be a sodium vapour street light but there aren't as many around these days.

A spectroscope is a handheld optical device which allows you to see the light distribution coming from a light source. Should be able to pick one up for under a hundred bucks.

Right now I'm wishing I had a transparent skull

Agreed from a software engineering perspective. I can't imagine who still uses stack overflow.

However I'm still in the phase where I think of opening a browser before realising my IDE with it's LLM is a better first choice.

Did you find a legit use case for blockchain? Nice work bro!

The great thing about young people is that they haven't had much time to develop a moral compass. I'd say that makes them perfect for the roles they've been given

Maybe it's a cultural thing but to me this comes across as racist

I'm not a cheerleader of China by any means but the attitude you have towards China is scary. Why does the US have to control the world in order to be safe?

First thing I would have done is upgrade the version of Gatsby to latest. Did the author try that?

If upgrading is difficult because of 4 years of breaking changes, blame Gatsby for not being backwards compatible. Also blame your original choice of going with a hokey framework.

Speaking of hokey framework: 167 dependencies and 3000 versions of Gatsby in npm.

Agree 100%. That's the default on every support number you call these days. I think it's proactive anger management on behalf of the service provider

That only matters to people who use social media. It's not like you need an id card to use the Internet

He'll get out - maybe through the embassy. It's not like there would be extradition between Russia and France with the relationship as it is at the moment.

Not advocating for it but it's called economies of scale and it's happening in every country including mine (Australia)

Agreed. You say you're not depressed but actually when your describe how you feel it sounds a lot like depression. It might be a good idea to talk to a doctor about it.

In my country, last year it was definitely a candidate's market: I had recruiters reaching out all the time and I got the first job I applied for. This month I've been applying for jobs and not getting interviews.

From the conversations I've had it seems recruiters want someone who has an exact skill match for the job. They don't care what else you have done or how many years you have under your belt it's gotta be the exact list the employer wants.

I'm now optimising my resume (CV) for the job. I summarise the stuff that I think recruiters / employers don't care about.

The other thing I've noticed now is that when a recruiter reaches out quite often that role is not listed publicly anywhere. So your profile on the job systems - linkedin and elsewhere - better look real good or you won't get a call.
