This 16-year old student built a browser... in C++... writing hundreds of thousands of lines of code... This would be hard enough work today, but this was in 2003 (!!) He's had a very successful career since, and he works on browsers today, as well. You probably use his work:

I just met a person who can't tell Python from C++. He has never written a single line of code in his life, yet he feels he can build anything he wants. He told me point-blank: "I challenge you to tell me something I can't build using AI." I tried to explain, but I couldn't

As someone who spent a few years in payments: 1. Stripe takes this much for small businesses. For large companies it’s less! It’s why eg Amazon uses Stripe vs building their own credit card processing! 2. Building *just* credit card processing is very expensive (cont’d)
Stripe takes 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction Stripe Connect takes 0.5% more PayPal is even worse.. How is nobody building a better solution for SaaS companies? Someone's gonna disrupt this and make a fortune 👀

NEW POST Threat modeling need not be a specialized activity. Gayathri Mohan and Jim Gumbley update his 2020 article explaining how dev teams can do this little and often - and how it can be applied to platform teams. https://t.co/qLEd24nUXU

Threat modeling is a risk based approach to cyber security requirements analysis.

Jak sekta. Tak można chyba najlepiej określić ludzi, którzy mimo tego że wiedzą iż ich kandydat: - to przyjaciel gangsterów - kolega skazanych sutenerów przymuszających do prostytucji - oszust - złodziej - porzucił człowieka, którym miał się opiekować - zostawił podopiecznego

@AndrzejDuda Szczerze to myślałem, że nikt już Ciebie nie przebije - ale potem Prezes wystawił gościa bujającego się z neonaziolami i sutenerami, który bez skrupułów okroił schorowanego emeryta na mieszkanie, którego poparłeś. Nigdy więcej degeneratów waszego pokroju w roli głowy Państwa.

if you think you can build calendly inhouse with 15 hours of prompting and vibe coding you have no idea how software works

Us developers have learned the hard way that: 1. Prototyping is more like 10% of the actual work - even though the business folks thinks we're 90% done 2. Shipping prototypes to production is possible but generally a bad idea Vibe coding is prototyping. Others will learn -

This is possibly the most Dutch story: A Dutch developer lived her whole life on a boat on canals and builds a game... about a boat on canals! Just amazing. Getting the game on Steam - it looks quaint and relaxing.
i’ve worked on this game for 2 years now and its so surreal to say this, but its coming out the 26th of March!!! (in 3 weeks!!!) its called Spilled!, there's a demo on Steam :)

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.
@AdamLowisz I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off. What I am sickened by is years of slaughter in a stalemate that Ukraine will

@Nawrocki25 @NawrockiKn Zluzuj majty Sutenerze. A czyje rządy były przez 8 l. Kaczy Czopku? PiS. To do PiS miej pretensje idioto, że na prawo i lewo wizy wydawali i przez Polskę na zachód przelała się fala migrantów. Ty kaczy Czopie do pięt Tuskowi nie sięgasz. A teraz się odpierdol od Tuska i UE.

Jeśli w czasach pokoju, prezydentem jest infantylny idiota o rozwoju emocjonalnym na poziomie 10 latka, to pół biedy. Jeśli w czasach przedwojennych. prezydentem jest infantylny idiota o rozwoju emocjonalnym na poziomie 10 latka, to wszyscy mamy problem. Na szczęście już
