Yeah, they’re basically just saying to learn the basics of project management, customer support, etc via professional services before starting a product-centric business. I don’t think you have to start a PS firm first, but working for one would likely be helpful

Tech specs : we duct taped a battery and electric motors to an Elise /s

Check your local government auctions and Craigslist-like services and you can score older enterprise gear for cheap or free!

Not having an insta isn’t weird or what turned her off - being fucking creepy and weird about it then lying is what turned her off… Jesus

Being active on a social network is not the same as having a social life - meet people, make friends, and make an effort to reach out to them. THAT’s having a social life

After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role… Holy shit does GitHub suck. It’s organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don’t know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.

Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github

It’s just funny given the community backlash both companies have faced in recent days

It’s funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They’re past their series F - they’ve got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it’s been downhill since.

Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)

Which I get - I’m starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue

Hmmm, we have a company who’s success has been largely due to it’s large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community… Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who’s success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

I’d be on the lookout for some cheap XM4s as they are worlds better than the XM3s but that is probably just me being salty about the dogshit battery life of the XM3s

Yeah, it started when Russia invaded in 2014

Half and half. It was a college football team so half we’re still in their teens, the others in their early 20s

APC is nice in an enterprise-like setup and the management software is really mature. That said, you don’t get much for your money and for a homelab, I’ve been happy with my Tripplite UPS which was about half the cost. I got the expansion battery as well and the whole setup cost me less than $700

I feel “protecting” them by walking on eggshells around things related to their culture is just a continuation of that fetishization(sp?) when we should all just be sharing and celebrating one another’s culture. Obviously don’t mock, but anything that is good natured as this event seems to be is exactly what humans should be doing

Maher is such a self-obsorbed piece of shit scab - the man has a net worth over $100MM and he’s giving crocodile tears over his staff. Do like Griz did during the pandemic and keep staff on payroll and pay out of pocket

SMS support - signal went from being a one stop shop for messaging to yet another standalone messaging app that suffers from a lack of network effect unlike its competitors. The all in one approach was it’s single greatest asset in getting people onto the platform.

There were desires to open up the platform prior, now it almost entirely forces you onto Signal exclusively and any discussion of other clients is expressely forbidden in its official support channels AND in it’s unofficial (yet run by foundation members) channels like it’s reddit sub

And yes, hopping on a shitty bandwagon of features its competitors have is a massive waste of dev hours and indicative of its downward trajectory

I feel since she took over, Signal has been on a steady downward trajectory. Increasing the barriers to use, more centralization instead of federation, and the stupid fucking Stories feature.

I feel bad for Chubb, that injury looked horrific. DGD
