It’s almost like Microsoft sells security products and runs the most insecure JavaScript package manager to build those security products and couldn’t switch off of it even if the engineers in the org recommended a more secure JavaScript execution context— and that’s realistically why anthropic bought an engine.

> Ai promises to eliminate labor, so businesses correctly identify AI risks as free debt.
These aren't promises, they're just hopes and dreams. Unless these businesses happen to be signing contracts with AI providers to replace their labor in a few years, they're incorrectly identifying AI risks as free debt.
I absolutely agree with you and I’m hyperbolizing to highlight exactly how incorrect that “promise” is
Realistically, the execs see it as either them or their subordinates and the idea of a captain dying with a ship is not regarded as noble amongst themselves. So they’ll sacrifice the crew, if only for one more singular day at sea.

I think there is a different way to look at it. My personal experience is that enterprises that are at the forefront of adopting new ways of working, are now much more comfortable taking risks with building applications and insourcing SaaS functionality. The amount of custom software build is actually increasing and the codebase are getting more complex. Is there a price to pay down the road? Maybe.
The definition of technical debt
We took risks today in the hopes that these decisions will make enough money to offset the labor cost of the decision.
Ai promises to eliminate labor, so businesses correctly identify AI risks as free debt.

So? 73% of Saas startups are DB connectors & queries.
The difference is, if your company “moat” is a “prompt” on a commodity engine, there is no moat.
Google even said they have no moat, when clearly the moat is people that trust them and not any particular piece of technology.

Feels like this is a missed opportunity to innovate by figuring out how to intermingle “canon” between languages

If React is what’s powering the start menu now, I’m more curious about why Maui doesn’t power the start menu.
.NET Maui running on windows seems like a more logical first step to prove the organization buys their own dogfood.
I’ll put a bowl of water in the moonlight tonight to bring blessings to the generations of authors farming our collective reality framing.
Rather, we all talk about people being in a bubble. (and these days, everyone is in a bubble) The PMC is for certain in their own bubble and I really have no idea what the inputs are. They're totally alien to me.
The managerial class found my LinkedIn findings irritating
I just got a job recently after getting laid off three years ago
I spent a lot of time in the San Francisco Bay Area talking to people
That data is simple:
100% of the people excited about the prospects of AI are currently employed.
And even then, I do sense a wavering in the voice where they’re making sure to tell their manager that they use ai just enough to not need to be replaced by a different person or the machine they’re training.
