Because unless you are the only person maintaining your codebase other people in your organization will start using the cool new syntax sugar and optional functionality. So you will be forced to deal with it as it starts showing up in your codebase.

Why are people complaining about money going into FOSS?

There is no way the price tag is less than tens of millions right?

You are posting on a website that is hosted in a data center right now. You use data centers at your job to send email, share documents, run software. When you go home and watch netflix, that video is streamed to you from a data center. All of the internet, your phone, and modern digital entertainment and life is run through data centers. My guess is that you don't seriously want to turn all of that off because 'reasons'.

Github is owned by Microsoft, its not like its some boostrapped startup who has a closet of servers that are melting.

Opus 5 is so wordy, it doesn't feel any better than 4.8 at coding (at least not for what I use it for), I hopped over to Grok4.6 after the announcement the other day and its been pretty good so far. It also is very fast.

the "no moat" stuff is dumb. There are only like 4 companies in the world that have cutting edge LLMs so there is definitely a moat.

Its all drones and one F-15, its not like dozens of F-22s or F-35 are being shot out of the sky

If you own a $20,000 car and I steal it, is your loss not $20k? (excluding depreciation etc)

Lets prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping the assembly that is generated by our compilers...

People are only allowed to take funding from investors whose politics align with yours?

A counterexample proves that the conjecture is false, not sure what you are talking about. And we can play word games all day about what counts as a "new brilliant scientific idea" but the fact is that no human had been able to solve it.

Speak for yourself dude. I programmed a game engine in Java in 2011 right after I graduated college, and it powers a game that I launched on Steam in 2015. https://github.com/FourSeventy/sylver_engine

I was recently interviewing candidates for a senior software engineer in Boston. I did about 20 interviews and only got 1 follow up/thank you email. I didn't send rejection emails to candidates that didn't send a follow up.

Like two days ago Claude solved a century old math conjecture

1.) The c-suite is like 6 people, reducing their salary isn't going to make much of a dent.

2.) The c-suite are compensated at market rate the same as anyone else. If the CTO at Patreon is making 400k/yr you can't just cut his salary to 200k, he will leave and take a job somewhere else.

Well if the company goes out of business because its not making enough profit then all product launches will cease.

I watched this dudes youtube channel where he makes music for years before I ever knew he was the CEO of pateron. It was a bit of a wtf moment when I found out.

Just what C++ needs, more bloat lol.

Are you serious? If I told you to your face "you are shitty at your job" you don't see that as a personal attack?

So is this guy going to dress down any project that decides to move off of Zig? If Mitchell Hashimoto decides to move Ghostty off of Zig to C or Rust will we get a scathing blog post about that too?

Tell me you know nothing about business without telling me you know nothing about business.

The Async I/O in PG18 is what got me to jump from 16

"Take home closed book" exam is asking for mass cheating. It was probably happening way before AI too. AI is just an excuse now.

Short it then

ridiculous comparison

I think the 'models have no moat' thing is overblown. Only like 3-4 companies in the entire world have cutting edge models, that means there is some kind of moat...

Stripes revenue is ~$20B seems pretty big to me...

No its full blown communist.

This isn't about income tax or capital gains tax, it's about the government seizing half of a privately owned company.
