I work for an industrial air compressor company as a mechanic and tech guy. Formerly a software engineer and manager for some companies you've heard of.

Hot take: ex-eng managers have an unfair advantage with AI agents. We already let go of “I did the work.” “Agent, fix this” is just what we used to say to the team.

is it just me or is Opus 5.5 very into telling you how much something is going to cost today?

AI might be fancy... but I will always still trust @aarondfrancis to tell me how to manage my timezones. 3rd time re-watching this year to make sure I'm doing it right.

The new Startup Bios from @brianmcc is epic. Can't wait for more!

Instead of “OMG I’m too overwhelmed with life please make it stop”, I just called it “vacation mode”.
Pausing my podcasts till Monday. I need some calm.

I keep hearing "if we'd known about you a year ago we would have gone with you over <competitor x>.
I'm not sure if time travel is a thing but 10 months ago we weren't even a thing...
I think patience is the name of the game at this point.

I told the kids if anyone stole candy from their haul without asking they'd lose it all...
...daddy just got a big bag of candy. Took all of a few hours before there was a stuffed mouth and a guilty look.

AudioBrevity has been a side thing for over two years. Over 100 people use it on-and-off with some power users. It's grown to cost over $80/mo to run for free, so I'm trying a new style of covering costs. A community pool of credits.

...and I opened every summarized episode to everyone, logged on or not. Not quite as many as @podscanfm from @arvidkahl ...he's got a few more there. :D

The PHP vulnerability wasn't easy to exploit, but please know that it *is* exploitable.
Please make sure you patch if you're running your own servers!

4 months ago I cloned Airtable for a client in 5 days because they refused to pay Airtable $500/mo
months later, I’m still maintaining it
every two weeks it’s another edge case, a UI tweak, or a "quick 10-minute request." They’ve easily spent 10x more in headaches than the $2,000 they would’ve paid Airtable
just proving that SaaS isn't dead. Cloning isn't enough, if you want it to be same quality as original it becomes a full time job
and at this point isn't it easier to just pay?
This is an awesome explanation.

Woah... didn't even think about that yet... I've just been patching.
I think if we didn't have agents to do remediation we'd currently be looking about about, oh, $500 billion or so in engineering costs in the US alone backfilling software security issues against *checks notes* substantially every deployed system in every industry.
