DHH’s takes were the worst, even before AI existed. He’s rich, I know, but being rich doesn’t make you a great engineer. In systems, money doesn’t matter.
You hate dhh because of his agentic coding takes of 2026. I dismiss dhh’s technical opinions since ~2007 when he said a SQL database is just a big hashtable. We are not the same.

comment clustering animation instead of a straight line, each comment follows an arc so the transition feels more natural

New experiment: can my cloud agent build and test multiplayer iOS games? Devin connects to a Mac in the cloud, boots and builds the game in Xcode, launches 3 iPhone simulators, connects all 3 clients via websockets, and plays them against each other using computer use. For verification it uses both vision and non-vision signals: screenshots of the simulators (vision) to confirm what's happening in the game + programmatic evidence like relay logs (joins/messages per player).

“I met President Zuma in his house at Forest Town (JHB) in October 2023 before MKP was announced, I made a commitment on behalf of the EFF that there won’t be any insults between the parties because Julius Malema’s politics at the time was to always insult people and especially President Zuma. That’s why he stopped until Mbuyiseni Ndlozi thrashed MKP in Soshanguve upon realise that the MKP was destroying the EFF electorally.” - Floyd Shivambu

Kubernetes v1.36 -- Feature #1 HPA can now scale to ZERO. Finally!!! The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler had a limitation: - It could scale down… but never to 0 - You always had at least 1 pod running - You were still paying, even with no traffic With Kubernetes v1.36: - HPA can scale workloads from N to 0 pods - And automatically scale back 0 to N when traffic returns Advantages: - True cost optimization - Better resource utilization - Perfect for event-driven & burst workloads

When other stations were out of range, SA kept the Artemis II astronauts talking to Mission Control. SA National Space Agency (SANSA) played a critical role in NASA’s Artemis II mission! Our Hartebeesthoek Ground Station provided vital tracking and telemetry as the Orion spacecraft looped the Moon—keeping humanity’s first lunar crew in over 50 years connected to Earth. Our specialized antennas and "hydrogen maser" atomic clocks, provided the extreme accuracy needed for Doppler measurements. 🌕👨‍🚀
