The Bill Gates-Steve Jobs rivalry. "These two guys, they would, they would take a crap on each other at any chance they could." They were polar opposites. The core of the debate was open vs closed systems. "If you were sitting around in 1995 ... You would have thought that the open system makes more sense. Bill Gates and Microsoft are the future. But if you're sitting around in 2026 and looking at all this, it looks more like the closed ecosystem, the Apple ecosystem, is actually the success."

So the irony here is that when you look at that field, it seems like we've reached levels of intelligence that virtually no human can match because many of these security holes are about stringing combo moves together. You find one little vulnerability here that by itself might not be the worst thing in the world, but then you combine it with four others, and suddenly you have RCE, remote command execution. Humans who are able to do that are very rare.

Whereas something like Microsoft, they made VS Code as a loss leader. Copilot's probably operating on a loss leader. These things are all getting you so tied into, GitHub, remote workspaces, CI, Copilot, you become this trapped in permanent person and if that price rises, the switching cost is so great at some point that you'll never be able to switch.

Exciting PlasticList update: We were honored to work with @bobaguys to identify and eliminate the sources of BPA contamination, and their teas are now BPA-free! They have fully transitioned to BPA-free receipt paper, which PlasticList confirmed to be BPA-free through independent lab testing. They have also switched to brown sugar in BPA-free packaging. We have been impressed with their commitment to get to the bottom of the issue and move fast to remove BPA from their supply chain. If you want healthy and delicious tea, I highly recommend Boba Guys! Quoting @natfriedman Advice for Food Companies Since we launched PlasticList, we’ve been heartened to have quite a few food companies reach out and ask for help interpreting their results and tracking down and eliminating their contamination.

it's all about communication and support. don't treat remote workers as second class citizens. run better meetings. record decisions. make sure people are building relationships #AskTwitterEng Quoting @Engineering OK for real this time. Last question! What's one piece of advice you want to share with other engineering leaders looking to build collaborative remote teams? @michaelmontano @iamcal #AskTwitterEng Related
Talk to as many people as you can. Read everything available. Take part in as many virtual 'social' activities as possible. So much of what you get out of an internship is about what you put in, and that requires much more effort when you're remote. #AskTwitterEng Quoting @Engineering Question 10: any advice for interns looking for / starting remote internships? 👩🏫👨🏫 @michaelmontano @iamcal #AskTwitterEng Related
hmm, good question. much of the prior literature has really been about evangelizing remote work, rather than practical advice for either making the transition abruptly as we just have, or the accelerated transition we'll see over the next few years #AskTwitterEng Quoting @Engineering Question 9: Any good book recs on remote work? @michaelmontano @iamcal #AskTwitterEng remote work Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
