Readit NewsEven if 10x cheaper, internally built Saas tools don't come with service level agreements, a vendor to blame/cancel if it goes wrong or a built-in defense of "But we picked the Gartner top quadrant tool".
Also, is this even true? The author's only evidence was to link to a book about vibe coding. I'd be interested to hear anecdotes of companies who are even attempting this.
Edit: wow, and he's a co-author of that book. This guy really just said "source: me"
It's occupying the segment that subreddits historically have. However, it's perhaps-intentionally search-opaque. You can't Google to find a message/link/download that's gated by Discord. And it also gives a sense of community, where someone who had more attention and time on a computer than a sense of what to do with those things can go have casual conversation with… someone.
All the talented engineers pouring into AI realising they’ve just been used as tools of the ad-tech market to serve more ads to people. That’s their real purpose.
Please get out and go and make something better. Before even your most treasured moments, like reading kids bedtime stories, become commodified with ads.

In 2000, no country in the world accepted gay marriage, up until 2013 gay marriage was banned in California because the Californians elected to do so (it was overruled federally against the wishes of the Californians).
In 2025, even a majority of Republicans (by some polls) support gay marriage. The far left always moves the goal posts. Once they legalized gay marriage, they considered it the norm instead of a wild idea that Republicans should fight to remove.
That's why you see the rise of Christian nationalism. Many consider the average Republican to be too far left (similar to how leftists consider Democrats to be too far right).
Personally, I'm for the Matrix opinion. In the Matrix, the future humans live in a simulated 1999 because it was considered the peak of human civilization. Socially, it was.
The goal of the far left has always been equality. It's the same goal that legalized interracial marriage.

We've always had an issue with Christian Nationalism in the US, and they use any excuse they can to push their agenda. If it's not gay marriage it's immigration, or trans rights, or whatever other wedge issue they can create a moral panic over.
It's vital to remember that nationalist goals are absolute, but they will lie about it. They say they just want to protect women's sports to get their foot in the door, and then they're banning gender affirming care and looking to re-criminalize gay marriage. There's no reason to compromise with nationalists.
But, with a whopping 32.5 correct answers out of 54, Home comfortably takes home the gold.

This feels a lot like a technology that's not quite ready. This is why I don't use Siri either. The functionality is limited to quick searches I could do easier myself.
Still, it's interesting to see Google take the lead here. I bet the ability to connect to such huge tools like search and maps must be a great advantage.
I've never been though, so take this with a grain of salt.
