Shit like this is why whenever companies say they’re “customer focused” I say they’re full of shit.

No one wants this but M$ has so much investment tied into this that they need to make people want this.

You can also check out nebula. A good chunk of them are there.

That’s definitely part of it. But some of it is also because marketers are always looking for a way to shill their garbage and pretend it’s “word of mouth “

You seem to be taking this a bit personally…

A lot of AWS are wrappers over said in house solutions

And there’s a push to move off of those to proper AWS

I’d rather have no software with my mouse than this dystopian nightmare.

Haven’t been on new Reddit in a while (anytime I go I use ‘old.’).

Is the first 70% of the screen really an ad?

What the snake oil people never bring up is that companies do try and replace devs with AI and prompts.

Then realize it doesn’t work as non-engineers don’t have the skillset to do it and then come crawling back to engineers to fix the mess.

Wait they still have this issue ? I remember it being annoying in 2017. How the fuck have they not fixed it???

I wish there was a place that had agdq and speedrunning clips. Then I could leave.

Twitch is atrocious for archived content.

No he’s one of the good pedos

Amazon had a process notoriously called “The Iliad” where it was a literal journey to unsubscribe from Prime.

That’s sick. Much easier to do and much easier to scrape and compile.

It was Reddit

I saw this suggestion on the site that shall not be named.

Find a Nexstar or Sinclair owned channel, note the advertisers in there, and start shaming them for paying money to advertise on those networks. Literally 50% of their revenue comes from ads so gutting that would make a difference

Wasn’t their entire thing that we needed free speech and shouldn’t let big tech be in charge of that?

Oh that only applies when people say things they want to hear? Got it.

This feels like one of those paid fluff pieces companies put out so that smaller ones feel like they’re “missing out”

Yeah it’s the same skillset I use with Junior devs except I don’t have the hope AI will grow out of its bad habits

My favorite was when I was at Amazon watching leadership do the mental gymnastics to justify the move. At some point they just said it’s happening and we’re not listening to you.

This is a drop in the bucket for Amazon, sorry “Anthropic”.
