Software development methodologies compared.

#software #development #agile #waterfall #ai #developer

Three different software dev philosophies. 

Waterfall: wheel first, wheels and body next, full car at end. 

Agile: skateboard first, motorcycle next, almost finished car last. 

AI: car with only back window and front tire first, car motorcycle next, duck last.

Iran like "We want to kill Donald Trump" and I'm like "Get in line, lol"

I mean, get in the front of the line, but get in line. lmao

When a conservative says "the poor will always be with us," it is a statement not of fact, but of intent.

Can't say enough about all that Ruby and Rails have done for my career. I am a Rubyist for life. But: Ruby is bigger than Rails, and Rails is bigger than DHH. Today's announcement from Ruby Central makes me sad and angry. Maybe Ruby and Rails need to be bigger than @rubycentral.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a great game. In many ways, it reminds me of an old favorite, Final Fantasy X.

@bamboombibbitybop Namecheap works great for me. I'd avoid AWS, especially if you need PTR.

Is SEO pointless now since LLM companies are ingesting the whole web?

I always found clients asking me about SEO to be an annoying ending part of delivering a web app side job.

Going forward I can just say "Oh yeah, just wait, the scraper bots will be by soon."

Ok, kill it then. If your business is not feasable if you have to pay for the ressources you need for your product, it's not a business anyway.

The former Meta executive claims that a law requiring tech companies to ask permission to train AI on copyrighted work would kill the industry.
