This is like the equivalent of discriminating against the user agent of the web browser: people end up forging because there is no other choice. In this case lucky figma sucks as a product so it’s not a big deal though.

I know of very few companies that do this. I am still holding off buying a new pc but when I do framework is the company for me.

I’d argue this has been the case for quite a while. Over a decade ago I wanted to leave my university degree after 1 year because I had self-taught myself programming and compsci skills to a higher level than the university could ever give me. I only stayed because I knew several top tier companies at the time required those degrees to hire. I stayed for the certificate, not to learn the skills.

Good programmers state they use models like GPT 6 Astra without obtaining good results: it makes me feel I live in a parallel universe. But the explanation is not that hard: good programming in the past and now requires a different skill set, even if there is some overlap.

Never let a cool technology mask the factor of skin in the game.

The wildly opposite ai programming takes are a sign the folks calling it over are missing what's possible, because they were limited by what they came from. Dream bigger! others: "it's over, guess it's all rust from here" me: "omg there's so many things I can build in Elixir"

I see you and raise you. Australia completely banned nuclear plants. Our power grid in South Australia (my state) sucks and we pay some of the highest prices in the world. And the worse part, ironically we have the highest concentration of uranium in the world. Beat that!!

(🌶️ take) You need better engineers to work with LLMs

Now this is what the future will be, precisely trained models, not the catch all giants currently being released. General purpose will always have its place but specifically trained for a specific problem just makes sense.

Finally, someone who gets via negative.

People on x write some romantic sounding posts that says business is as simple as <INSERT TOPIC>. They’ll say project management, technical skills, or some other point they’re trying to push. Not sure if it’s just to say something online or to get a bunch of views but the reality is things aren’t that simple. To not do badly at business takes a bunch of skills they don’t teach you in any “school”. You ain’t gonna learn it in a 175 character tweet. Learn by experience not from some snake oil sales person.

Omarchy is blowing up. I've never been involved with anything in my career that has grown this fast. With Ruby on Rails, we had years to build solid institutions, teams, and relationships. With Omarchy, we've been forced to figure it all out in twelve days. It's exhausting, but also incredibly exciting. It was never sustainable with just Ryan and me running everything. That's how it was, more or less, up until Quattro. Lots of other contributors, but all the responsibility was on us to make sure the ship stayed afloat, the servers didn't crash, and fixes got pushed out quickly. Now it's time to build a proper institution. Durable, resilient, and competent. That's what we're doing here on Basecamp now. I'm spinning up teams for every facet of responsible distro management, and I'm getting an absolute outpouring of interest for all of them. Everyone wants to be part of this. We're winning hearts, minds, and volunteers at an astounding rate. Great! We need all of it to succeed. Because make no mistake: There are many people who'd love to see this rocket blow up before it reaches the moon. Aggrieved Linux users who don't like the sudden attention their exclusive hobby has received. Competing Linux distributions that are seeing our numbers explode. Mac stans who've sunk their identity into an apple. And, of course, any of the haters I've picked up in my quarter-century career speaking bluntly on the internet. They're not going to succeed. Because we've already become unstoppable. There's too much momentum, too much money, and too much support now backing this effort. We're living the Mandate From Heaven meme at the moment. And we are here to fulfill the prophecy: The Year of Linux on the Desktop! That has been a joke for two decades. But by the end of the year, nobody at Apple or Microsoft is going to be laughing. They're going to be scrambling. Because neither of these proud organizations currently has any method to counter the speed, vision, or ambition with which we're going to accelerate into the future of personal computing. This is the moment. This is the opening. This is our chance. For thirty years, we've been subject to one OS overlord or another. Dictating how we compute. Choking off competitors through platform malfeasance. Tollboothing the distribution. That ends now. Because Linux is going to win. And Linux is free. As in beer, speech, and source. But just because it's inevitable doesn't mean it's going to be easy. We have a lot of work in front of us if we actually want to make our mark. But there's never been a better time for this kind of delusional ambition. The age of agents is the unlocking factor. It sounds like a LinkedIn slogan, but it's true. Where the application of tokens goes, the innovation follows. We can fix everything. Let's do it together. Let's go. --- This is what I sent to the dozens of new volunteers who've signed up for teams within the new Omarchy organization yesterday. But we might as well broadcast our mission and intentions to the world too.

Far, far down the list to building a beautiful family, the worlds most invaluable asset.

Soon even the local supermarkets will be releasing their frontier AI models 🤦‍♂️

Sounds like a bunch of follow up "explaining", while evading the real reason claude didn't respect the standard after all this time. Just fix it without the "explaining" part.

Love the enthusiasm but I’m convinced you need the haters to an extent. It helps fuel the pathway to proving them wrong. Also, if people are crusading against it then it means he’s on the right track. It will also inspire the haters to create better alternatives. We all win!!

Influence can go a long way, many of my clients end up in circles with support teams only to get denied by a generic response like the one from spaceship. @dhh isn’t justin bieber famous but has significant leverage in the tech industry. He will make linux on the desktop happen.
