I went to the first one and didn’t enjoy myself. Saw the assholes are now cops and most of the self-proclaimed cool kids were now shilling one MLM or another. Everyone still hung out in the same groups they did in high school. They held a moment of silence for the popular dickhead who got drunk and drowned in a river after high school.

My uncle once wrapped his car around a telephone pole because an orange fell off the seat and he was trying to pick it up.

I feel like there’s a clever fruit/apple/iphone joke in there somewhere but I can’t find it and I give up.

In general, you can sue if you can prove damages. A class action probably isn’t the right vessel - you haven’t lost money, but you have the perception that money would have gone to you.

Legally, I don’t think that holds much weight.

I feel like getting some media attention is a more effective angle, especially if you can gather enough detailed information and contact a journalist.

On the flip side, if you’re vibe coding an app you should seriously consider whether it’s something you want to open source or make available publicly. There’s a social contract that comes with that.

I have 2 self hosted slop apps I build and maintain myself. I think people would genuinely get great use out of them.

…but then I’m inviting critiques and feature requests and am roped into supporting them so it’s not just a big pile of shit that wastes everyone’s time. And I don’t want to spend my limited free time making common sense improvements to improve it for others. I want to write a lazy Claude prompt with insufficient context, get it barely doing what I need, and then spend the rest of my time eating crayons and similar pastimes.

Sorry, that call sign just completely breaks my suspension of disbelief. I simply don’t find it credible anymore.

They’re ripping off our plagiarism machine!!

There are already logical explanations. They have been provided to you every time you post this before you presumably get banned. What’s your refutation for those explanations? “Wake up sheeple” doesn’t work when you’ve already been given a valid answer.

You just keep creating new accounts and posting the same crap to the same communities. Why?

I use pangolin and traefik together and expose a few of my services that way. But not everything.

I slot services into categories based on:

• do I really need to be able to access this externally?
• …with full admin rights?
• what write/delete access am I granting?
• if an attacker got in, how much damage could they do with what they could access?

Then the service is either not externally open at all, secured behind pangolin SSO, or secured behind pangolin SSO AND that service’s native auth. Which is an annoying double auth, but I feel like it’s another layer of protection in case one of them gets a 0-day exploit.

If it’s presented coherently and I can clearly map it against my own preconceived notions, yes.

If it’s a bunch of sloppy catchphrases that would require me to do a bunch of work and research to unpack their argument and THEN apply it to my world, no.

Ideal for what?! Constantly being asked to reach things from the top shelf?

My wife is about 6” shorter than me and it’s already inconvenient in a bunch of ways. A full foot apart? Jesus, my back hurts thinking about it.

Cut scope.

Too much to do? Oh well, guess I can’t do it all then. I’m not going to lifemaxx to get more done.

The shit at the bottom of the list gets dropped. If it was important, it would have been at the top of the list.

An exec at my company said when he comes back from vacation he immediately marks all his Slack notifications as read. “If anything in that horror show matters, someone will ask me again.”

Mine was always this:

Manager: How long will this take?

Me: 14 days

Manager: So it will be done in 2 weeks?

Me: No, it will be done after I’ve had 14 days of time to work on it.

Manager: What’s the difference?

Me: Am I still going to have random support escalations and will we keep having random meetings in those 2 weeks?

Manager: Yes.

Me: All those interruptions are me NOT working on the task. So it will be done in 14 days plus all the interruptions.

Manager: But this is very important!

Me: Can you then ensure I’m left alone to focus on this?

Manager: No.

Me: …

Just pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes and back in the fridge. It’ll be GoOd aS NeW the next morning!

The industry makes billions renting instead of selling their stuff, and they spend it all trying to stop piracy.

I’ve heard that from a small number of people that have been in my life.

I wouldn’t describe any of those people as “keepers”.

Someone smart once said “claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence”.

The winner seemed to be Cloudflare.

That doubting voice in your head that tells you why you’ll fail? Ask it back: “is this helping?”

If it doesn’t answer “yes”, tell it to fuck right off and then keep on doing what you’re doing.

Daaamn that was the nerd version of a KenM rejoinder! Well played.

Wire in whatever way they fall in by themselves.

Then rewire the pins on the NICs so they can communicate.

It’s not so bad once you level up your soldering skills.
