Political violence is terrifying. I know. I’m holding former President Trump, and all those affected by today’s indefensible act of violence in my heart. Political violence is un-American and is never acceptable—never.

No dev has been promoted for choosing to buy a turnkey solution from a vendor. Plenty got for building from the ground up. Engineers starting infra startups usually did just this. But to make their startup successful: they need to get devs to sign off buying from a vendor.

Fascinating, the lifecyle of "buy vs build" Devs working at product companies often decide to build (b/c they like the challenge/dislike vendors). Then realize: this is hard. Some found a startup & become a vendor. Then they try to sell... to devs who would rather just build!

Watching AI "type" word by word gets kind of boring fast, and it may set the wrong expectations as in "these are facts." What else could it look like? 1. The AI choosing among millions of tokens in a blur, then sharpens as it picks a random token

John MacArthur: "I don't even support religious freedom. Religious freedom is what sent people to hell. To say I support religious freedom is to say I support idolatry. It's to say I support lies. I support hell. I support the kingdom of darkness." Disturbing.

Replying to @mattsheffield
Extremist Christians love to claim they're all about "religious freedom," but the truth is that they hate the idea. Sometimes when they're in a safe space, they admit this. Here's evangelical megachurch pastor John MacArthur telling you what they really think:
