Once again, I cry for what I don't have in SQL Server. Range types look cool!

No, I don't think I will.

I'm not understanding the value here. If I'm writing markdown and avoiding notion, what does this provide my team that git does not?

I can easily write the markdown docs and they will render fin in most git forges.

Specs for who though? For other engineers that could work, but specs are the interface between business and engineering when agreeing on work.

I doubt that my PM is going to like equations.

In the age of LLMs where doing the building is automated ideas are what are valuable.

Why would a founder use your tool and give it their ideas for you to consume (and possibly pull an Amazon and snipe the best ones)?

Now that's what I call a distraction from the Epstein files!

I can't say I'm surprised. If your business model is based on shipping features (and ignoring quality) then forcing staff to use LLMs makes business sense.

That said this is saddening.

It's more likely that they focused on the book's content rather than the cover art for 5 years

It's called out that some of the titles being pirated don't get sold as DVDs by Amazon. I have to wonder, how then can I legally own that media ever? if I can't as they won't sell it to me, isn't to that a problem?

I worry for you if you're microwaving aluminum foil.

I appreciate this, but I don't think I can stomach looking through it.

Yeah, chaos isn't what I want around my data tools. Opposite actually.

If they are feeling it, the worst scenario has happened.

I'm so confused by what they think using copilot to either find/build an emulator for a 50 year old machine that can run Basic demonstrates.

Getting a little to Arrested Development for me.

It also should be on your employer to provide a compatible device (especially when it's your personal device that's not secure enough for the business)

Sometimes a job is a job.

Yeah, not gonna be sad about that. I've always wondered how well those handles stand up to consistent below freezing temps (with some snow & sleet mixed in).

I can't imagine this going well. How many government PCs are still running xp, let alone all of the other old tech that the government hasn't had the budget to replace.

Please don't give them ideas like that, even in jest.

Not even, there are some months where I make 30+ prs at work (no llms, just a lot of code responsibilities).

I'm going disagree with you. My assets don't wake me up at 3am when they stop working....the best software is no software.

My line of reasoning with an example:

I own a car, and the car itself isn't the value I get from the vehicle. The value is being able to go distant places easily. If I could snap my fingers and travel instantly I wouldn't own a car.

So, software is the value delivery vehicle, but generally not the actual valuable thing (remember that the vast majority of software are CRUD apps that are a step above excel that mainly handle bookkeeping).

If it's any consolation for the Gen X folks out there, those of us that are younger are also "feeling the pressure". It sucks.

Is there a need for selling of solutions via the package manager? Most of the software that I install that's paid asks for a license key or asks you to sign into your already paid for account.

You could contribute to the Ashai project if them not yet spending their OSS time budget on the latest m-series chip when they have a backlog is such a problem for you.

MS Teams shipped being able to edit MS office files but not .txt's. This news about Win11 breaking notepad isn't that surprising. They've been cooked for a while now.

Yeah, naw. My team ended up firing an engineer who could have been reading comics or something for the first hour or two. The guy usually showed up to meetings but didn't deliver any work for three months.

Email and calendar go together like bread and butter.

Modern medicine is pretty metal.

I'm not understanding the value proposition here. The benefit of a government is is that it's backed by a government. This looks like nothing more than a fan club card.
