Isn't that the point of the music business? They look at talent, then decide if select the "ramen profitable" ones and (try to) hyperscale their popularity with judicious A&R spending.

Tokyo is not safe. People who are arrested for suspicion of crimes are held for weeks by the police and threatened and beaten and tortured until they confess, even if they are innocent. The police then release them for 24 hours and rearrest them on a different charge so the two month holding timer resets.

People there have been held for months in solitary confinement (torture past a few days, per the UN) awaiting trial only to be found innocent and released.

As a foreigner, good luck if a Japanese person calls the police on you and accuses you of something. You’re looking at 40+ days of beatings and torture as the police will of course believe natives over tourists.

FastHTML has a NotStr(X) component that renders X as HTML.

I just copied a big HTML Tailwind component to a NotStr() and it worked fine.

I then split it in two, before and after, so I could make the dynamic bit from natural FastHTML components and it worked fine returning Div(before, dynamic_parts, after).

Plan to convert most of my smaller websites to FastHTML in the next few days before it's much more enjoyable for me.

This may not be as well understood as you believe. I am an educated English speaker, who has many educated English speaking friends and family, I have never heard this phrase.
"X" feels (to me) much more ambiguous than "Twitter".

If you say "Twitter", people know what you're talking about. If you say "X", are you talking about "X" marks the spot? Rated "X"? "X" the former project name for Paypal? "X" as in an unknown quantity? "X" is used in a lot of different contexts. I think if you want to use the name "X", then you should probably say "The company, X,".

Twitter is a verb, but when you use it as a noun, the listener instantly knows that you are talking about the company "Twitter". Plus, it's the name we are all familiar with.

Any code built closely around String's power-of-2 reallocation pattern may have to be reworked. I don't think there's any case when it cannot be used as a String replacement at all, except maybe when interfacing with an API that expects a &mut String as an output parameter.
Generalizations like that are theoretical, and don't always align with reality. There's nothing wrong with comments summarizing the "what", and in fact doing so is a good thing because it can describe anything from the intention of the code to the business logic. "This function merges array X with array Y, converting all the keys to lowercase because they will be used later by foo()."

The "why" can go out of date, e.g. "do X before Y because [specific thing in Y] is dependent on [specific thing in X]". If you rewrite Y to no longer be dependent on X, the comment is now out of date.

The reality is that any comment can go out of date at any time if the code it describes changes enough. But that's really no excuse for failure to maintain comments. Sure, in reality code is messy and inconsistently written, not even counting comments. Comments are an essential parts of your codebase, and while they are used exclusively by humans, that doesn't mean they are any less worthy of being updated and cultivated.

Any particular shenanigans from IBM and Red Hat aside from the EOL and transition of CentOS that was widely viewed internally within Red Hat as an absolute train wreck? For an open source and free software steward, I would side with Red Hat over Microsoft in most (if not all) situations.

That's not to say Red Hat is infallible. The internal organization of things does create misalignments around approach, path, and incentives. But it's not drastically different conceptually from any other business. There's just an inherit foundational hurdle of needing to convince potential customers that their products provide enough value over the upstream projects they derive from to agree to pay money for something they could, in essence, obtain at no-cost.^ Almost everything Red Hat does in the FOSS projects they contribute to can be a double edged sword.

^ No-cost can be a very, very loaded term. What you save on subscription costs may come back to bite you when trying to assemble or use something complex and rapidly developing. Your cost/risk tradeoff becomes staff with expertise, upstream communication, and operational reliability.
I don't think it's meant as literal rules. It's a rhetorical device.

Basically everything in there has exceptions: sometimes the compassionate thing to do would be to give someone in an inner ring advice. Just, 9/10 out of times, advice offered is unhelpful and worsens things. Obviously it's not okay for the person in the middle to say "anything", either.

But, it's a really worthwhile thing to consider. Is the person you're going to talk to closer to the trauma than you? If so, would what you're saying be better to say to someone further away, instead?

I get this is a tool, and it's up to the creator on how to use it. I was mostly curious if I was the only one who had this experience. I agree with codetrotter on the middle ground part. It would be nice if the tool could smartly add/keep certain pauses.

My assumption is this trend started with YouTubers looking at their stats on when people leave their video. Presumably when a video has a pause, it is a moment someone can think, and thus also think about perhaps not watching the video. People like me who stop watching because of the lack of pause, stop at a seemingly random moment, so there is no clear signal in the stats.

While I have no experience building software teams, I did navigate a few situations where a relationship between a business and a software vendor went sour. How long two parties can talk past each other is impressive sometimes. Once everyone is on the same page, seemingly insurmountable problems go away faster than you think.

No matter what you decide, it sounds like in the short term there's no getting away from them. As such, I would attempt to open a dialog focussed on mutual success. If this is a niche, chances are you are as important to them as they are to you. Show genuine interest in the problems they are facing, rather than expressing frustration. Are they struggling in general? Perhaps there are ways to help them get back up to speed. What about you as a customer (e.g., too distinct a workflow) makes things extra complicated? Look for specific points of friction, and how to address those.

A viable option, at least to get started, could be to use them as a building block. For example, handling that data exchange you mentioned. Establish a simplified format that is still detailed enough for them to do what they need. Then have your own logic, however complex, construct the input to their system. Add something in the opposite direction as well. Over time, you'll have more and more components that are easier to replace, because of their limited scope. Finding another vendor or building more custom solutions won't be all or nothing anymore, which is exactly where you want to be.

Doing this in-house? I feel the challenges are already plentiful without that. Instead, lean more to the side of having a couple subject matter experts interact with a small(ish) software house. It wouldn't be the first time that eventually one of theirs jumps ship, tagging on a colleague or someone else from their network. Basically the team would build itself, organically.

On a final note, I just wanted to say this sort of stuff fascinates me. Likely you wouldn't have time for anything like that, but I'd love to see in detail what your business is doing, and how said software is holding you back.

Joined a new company recently. They kept telling me their codebase was a mess. Yet I've been finding it to be remarkably refreshing. There are extensive comments everywhere. Lots of white space (remember to let your code breathe). Existing linting policies are extensive and thorough. The code is well structured and remarkably easy to follow through where that does what. I think it helps that it's a very small team with maybe 5-6 people max over time. It's such a pleasure to explore the project while learning the system and starting to fix some small long term issues. Really, really nice.

Not even close to safest vehicle unless mean space vehicle. Space Shuttle was in orbit for 21k orbits and traveled 542 million miles. Which gives 28 deaths per billion miles.

> I enjoy difficult work in my area of expertise a lot more

Real question: is it difficult work if that's exactly the part you like and you are not paid more when you do it more? What makes it difficult-- just the fact that LLM can't do it this year yet?

I wouldn't call my work "difficult". Boring parts can be hard but with the right stack there are very few. Stuff like back and forth to understand customer requirements is difficult but that's not even my job.

> let's just say

I didn't ask how much you get paid exactly, I asked if you get paid more (adjusted for inflation) for effectively doing more work now thanks to LLMs.

> work expands

And if pay doesn't you may ask yourself if LLMs are eating at your pay:)
Here in India, it's a wide mystery why most startups prefer to headquarter in Bangalore. It made sense two decades ago but today there are several other Indian cities like Vizag, Nasik, Noida, Gurugram, Chandigarh, etc. which are more equipped, have better infrastructure and even lower cost of living. Still most folks prefer Bangalore just because it has been like that since ages and popularly called the "IT Hub". But logically, it doesn't make any sense at all!

Assuming the parent poster means neither inflation or deflation (read: platonic, theoretical, likely impossible) then that's good, it means the economy is getting distributed in an seamless and unbiased manner.

That means it doesn't matter if you happened to have most of your economic assets in cash, or in potatoes, or in uranium ore, or in a house, etc. It means that there's no weird externality which is tipping the scales or "choosing" winners and losers.

Slight inflation isn't better than perfect balance, it's just a reluctant compromise, since it's the safer direction in which to fall when dealing with an unstable equilibrium.
Still. These incidents should be so rare, that when they occur, it is more likely to be leadership failure than a series of unfortunate events.
