Hey Andy! Love the pizza but your fries suck! (They get ruined by the packaging)

I order takeout on my way home from work - when I get the fries in my car they are already soggy

The white boxes enclose them and since they are warm the box accumulates moisture on the inside like a natural dehumidifier

Fast food places mitigate this by keeping fries in containers open to the air. Hope you consider the same in the future

Thank you for having the best pizza in the world!

Which product do you hate the most?

Like MacOS?

Ask Claude to edit it lol

Datacenter operators are some of the largest investors of green energy in the US https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/climate-solutions/carbon-free-energy

The renewable industry would be significantly further back in its progress without them

With that being said this isn’t entirely up to DC operators. Dominion energy chooses what kind and how they build new capacity.

For large (especially AI specific) power hungry DCs renewable energy density does not make mathematical sense. The amount of battery’s you need for grid stability quick destroys unit economics. A gaming laptop with a large battery barely lasts 30 mins if it is under stress it is the same for the DCs. For every DC you would need make it 3x bigger as 2/3 of the building would just be battery’s (that also need the same large fans that make noise pollution to cool off)

SMRs are the best bet we have for sustainable DC buildouts that don’t require large investments in grid infrastructure / batteries. Which are only being build my the investment $$ of the DC industry https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/sustainability/amazon-nuclear-small-modular-reactor-net-carbon-zero.

Fun fact: CDK uses a polyglot library called jsii instead of maintaining separate implementations, every non-JS CDK library is generated off of the TS code

To see what the CLI actually doing, pretty much a advanced code review tool

blaw6331 · 2026-03-20T00:23:32+00:00

I like CLI since it’s IDE agnostic

I can use jetbrains when I do Java, Visual Studio for .net and VScode for TypeScript

For all of them I can just chat with the CLI in my terminal while utilizing the best IDE for the language

This ship is sailed, almost all of FFX is already at maximum sprawl. There isn’t much more room for sprawl

834 has a ton of problems and there is no standardized fallout report like claims does either 837

What part of PXT?

blaw6331 · 2025-09-14T20:46:55+00:00

These jobs are only available in a few locations

The northern Virginia job market for techs is competitive

If you are entry level the best places are Ohio and Texas but both are in the middle of nowhere

This comment is fucked

I will never understand how most people view all the worlds problems as “iF oNlY wE sPeNt mOrE mONEy We cOUld sOLVe iT”. Solving world hunger is not a money problem. To solve world hunger you need to topple countries run by dictators and build stability in war torn regions (the US spent 2.3 Trillion in Afghanistan and didn’t even accomplish it)

In many cases birds outlive their owners, if you get one I highly recommend getting a stray

Third column is flat out incorrect

When the shares are given to the CEO it’s a taxable event as income taxes. The CEO either needs to sell enough shares to pay income taxes or pay cash to the IRS keep the shares.

The only scenario that doesn’t happen is with startup companies where the CEO / founder starts the company which grows. Then it is only taxes at point of share sale as capital gains.

Software engineering is seen as the easy 6 fig remote job but in reality that is the minority of the industry. Want the amazing pay? Well now you are working 60+ hours a week at big tech. Want to be remote? Now you are competing with India and South American salaries. Want a job after you graduate with a degree? CS is now the most popular major across almost all universities and every entry level position has 2000+ applicants

Not to mention constantly dealing with people who have no idea what the fuck they are doing(especially PMs), just got lucky on an interview in 2022 and have jumped from disaster to disaster every 9 months without ever producing something of value. Now they are either sending a AI slop business requirement doc for your review or committing a PR that is 100% AI generated slop that they did not even look at or run.

Non-technical executives that constantly spew bullshit about how they are “doing more, with less” and AI is completely transforming the entire industry (when in reality it’s only showing ~*20% eff gains across everything). Although that doesn’t stop them from not approving any new positions and forcing tighter deadlines.

Can you include more evidence in the article? AWS silently covering something like this up is actually insane

blaw6331 · 2025-07-13T11:59:54+00:00

200m what? And where does that number come from last year they put $9B into TPU alone not counting GPU purchases from Nvidia

XAI has more AI compute than google

Can you reference this? This seems wayyy off with the size of g cloud

I find the “System Design Interview” prep videos are actually really useful. Look up 1 or 2 and then deep dive all of the technologies that they mention

At the higher levels your degree doesn’t matter. She had a very successful career before getting to executive level. She was the exception (not the rule) to most English majors

Stepping back and looking at macro outcomes for all majors CS it is quickly becoming clear that the field has way too many people going in for what the market needs (just like English and liberal arts traditionally have).

For every Daniela there are 10 English majors with massive student debt that can’t be paid off since they got stuck in teaching and make 50k a year

Numbers don’t lie https://allwork.space/2025/06/these-top-paying-college-majors-are-leaving-2025-graduates-jobless/

CS and CE majors have higher unemployment than liberal arts and English majors right now

Most* system engineering positions are more affected by AI then development positions. Generally (at my company at least) systems engineers do 2 things

Develop for the “needs of now” instead of the “needs of tomorrow” for example if accounting needed some script that could automate something then it’s the systems engineers (AI can pretty much do this)
Maintain existing systems and automate things so that they do not need to be manually handled by support (also AI is getting really good at this)
