I call it "quitting".
Eeeehhh, might be overestimating executives a bit =P
But yeah, my first instinct is also to tell Gary to fuck off. That said, I would default to a process reason, so, the advice at the end wasn't totally useless for me.
Also, you're commiting the team to deliver something you (probably) don't have the technical knowledge to estimate, so you might be adding another week of death March after just 1 weekend.
The lesson at the end is not wrong, but the characters don't seem realistic.
That said, I have always been IC for a reason, so what do I know.
So, yeah, I agree.
Specially considering that the output would be essentially the same: a bunch of code that doesn't work.
There's some docs on storing the data in an encrypted volume or external drive, but 99% of people ain't doing that.
The only real improvement over MS's version is keeping the data local, which ain't much, really.
For Windows, Windows Terminal is pretty ok.
1. Minimizing nodes into just a name, to get a view of just relationships between resources 2. Auto-organizing the graph. You're already warning about overlapping nodes, might as well give me a way to automatically fix it. 3. Reading existing resources from a cluster
3, in particular, is kind of a whole other type of tool, to view/debug existing infra, instead of creating it, but the UI has the right shape to do that extremely well, too.
I agree with other comments that adding a default example to the demo would be nice. I imported this manifest, and it worked pretty well: https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/blob/master/guestbook...
Firstly, and to be fair, this is more for the comments than OP, can we please stop kidding ourselves? People have been trying to make tools to allow "non-developers" to code without coding since COBOL, and they all either failed, or end up requiring that users learned how to code anyway. Except maybe Excel.
Secondly, this has some good ideas, but makes the same cardinal sin of, seemly, all visual programming tools: try to encode control flow visually. No one wants to write ifs, fors, and whiles as connected nodes. It sucks. Text is MUCH better for that. You probably are very, very rarely writing flowchart diagrams in real life. I know I don't. I write state machine, architecture, data flows, etc., unless I'm being forced by some braindead tool to write control flow logic with little boxes and arrows.
The thing that is actually interesting here is the boxes that provide higher level abstractions, like HTTP requests, LLM calls, etc. Give me one or two different nodes in which I can just write some code to process input and return output, and maybe some dispatch and map nodes, and focus on providing higher level abstractions out of the box, and allowing me to build my own abstractions too (i.e., parametrised graphs). Think more functional, less imperative.
As is, that doesn't look like a tool I'd be excited to use, but I won't deny it has some potential to be interesting.
Is it? Maybe I'm out of touch, or used to a different work culture (non-US, consultant), but that's kinda obvious, you're paid because you make money.
Also, no one that knows a single teacher or nurse would ever fall into the trap of thinking that salary is proportional to job importance.
*Some* of the studies were about the potential physiological effects of hormone therapy. They used mice, but the point was to study how humans are affected by HRT.
The way the article is written makes it sound like they're putting mice in drag and asking them their pronouns.
So, SO many websites get this completely wrong.
Kinda hard to see the difference. I, too, live in a completely different world than people with much less money than me, but I can still conceive that they can't have a cleaner twice a month, order food every other day, or use uber more often than public transportation. I wouldn't even consider making a decision that impacts people's lives without having at least an inkling of how they actually live.
