they will respond and never give up, until they perform a cashectomy on your wonderfully novel business built on switching everyone off github
No repo left behind. We’ve replicated 99.99999% of our Git repositories on Azure. The last 0.00001% are our busiest. This new blog post explores how changing the way our quorum serializes writes opens the door to replicas that keep no persistent state of their own. github.blog/engineering/arch…

Installing adversarial bots to monitor and review your PRs can be so powerful but:
Lately I've seen Codex's bot suggest so many changes, often putting into question the entire underlying architecture behind the PR.
These directives "seem reasonable" to Opus 5.5, which happily creates more and more machinery to make Codex happy, and Codex is never happy, so it becomes a token theft spiral.
Sometimes I have to fire Opus from the case, warn the new session about Codex, and then we're flying again.

if you find yourself in a room with enterprise sales professionals, ask them
1. what are your tips for keeping food off your clothes when you drive and eat
2. where are the best bathrooms on the local interstate
and wait for the stories / arguments
pro tip: avoid anything with onions in it; those are ketchup whips

Truth is, and as corny as this may sound, a lot of Americans were pulling for this big AI moonshot of ours, taking pride in something they didn't quite understand but still taking pride.
Now the companies' weasel leaders are like, hey, might be dangerous, hang on. I'm scared.
Not exactly Neal Armstrong stuff. And certainly not Odysseus.
They have forfeited mythologically.
I'm a storyteller and they blew it.

Usage limits are the competitor’s opportunity. Your chief revenue officer is pushing you into the enemy’s hands.
@claudeai limits (resets on Wednesday!) just give me an opportunity to try Cursor/Grok (excellent) and Astra (that’s next). Seriously, the switching costs are not that high. Make it easy for me not to think about it.
