I don’t use Sentry. I don’t use PostHog. I don’t use any dedicated error-monitoring SaaS.
Every single error in my stack - backend, frontend, queues, Durable Objects, etc, lands in Cloudflare Observability the moment it happens.
Then a tiny custom toolbar app pings my account every 15 minutes, surfaces any new errors, and I fix them typically within a few hours.
Over time the apps just… stop breaking.
Here’s the exact system (and why Cloudflare is pretty cool);
But genuine question, how does anyone actually operate a business of any kind in France - where any hire you make, rather than being an asset to the business, instantly becomes a permanent liability.
J’ai une salariée en arrêt maladie depuis 10 mois. Elle essaie de revenir à mi-temps thérapeutique.
Elle a vu autant de médecins que possible pour se faire diagnostiquer une fibromyalgie et toucher l’AAH, sans succès.
Elle revient pour raisons financières : le mi-temps thérapeutique, c’est formidable, tu bosses 3 jours par semaine et tu touches un salaire plein, complété par la Sécurité sociale.
Nous avons fait une réunion à trois. Selon elle et la médecin du travail, retourner au travail pourrait lui faire du bien pour le moral.
Bah oui mais non : je dirige une entreprise, pas un hôpital. Le mi-temps qu’elle veut lui évite le rush, et elle souhaite poser tout décembre en CP… 🤡
Mais ça ne s’arrête pas là : il faudrait adapter son poste, elle ne peut pas rester debout. Pas de mise en rayon, pas de vitrines, juste l’encaissement et le téléphone.
C’est de la folie ce pays… J’ai bien entendu refusé : si elle n’est pas apte à travailler, je ne vais pas la payer à rien faire.

Trying to use Fable for anything, is like having a woke coworker, where you constantly are walking on egg shells, not knowing what harmless comment will set them off.
You reach a point where - I don't care if some work you produce is good, working with you is too much headache.
How do people do anything meaningful with Fable?
Trying Fable 5.2, couple messages back and forth on topic of project management. Just some high level concepts.
Ask to write up a summary of what we discussed.
Instantly flagged for reasoning extraction.

If you currently can't do your job because of the Microsoft outage you don't have a real job
Can't get over how horrendous this is. Awful UI with ton of wasted space just for the sake of being some quirky chungus because rectangles are too boring or something.
Modern BMWs can wirelessly communicate with OE tires to auto select compound type for range / dynamics adjustments
I love overcomplicated German engineering

Funny thing is is that the vehicle passing in the background, looks like a jagged low poly model with some blurry low resolution texture. Incredible priorities.
You can see this NPCs calf muscles contracting while she’s running, that’s how far Rockstar Games went with the details in GTA 6
This game is going to blow minds

GTA 6 could have been released 5 years ago if Rockstar focused on gameplay and story instead of the physics of beads of sweat under clothing of characters across the street.

Hey can some someone from Mexico pretend to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador so that @nayibbukele can take care of the Mexican cartels. I bet he could do in a month.
>El Salvador terrorized by gangs
>Bukele takes power
>declares war on organized crime
>arrests tens of thousands
>builds mega-prison
>homicide rates collapse
>international organizations condemn him
>refuses to back down
>4 Salvadorans reportedly kidnapped in Haiti
>demands their return
>sends 2,000 troops to Haiti
>Haitian gang leader seeks UN dialogue
>Bukele's anti-gang campaign becomes a regional talking point
>Becoming a modern day Caesar
Veni. Vidi. Vici.

Quotes of this post are pretty funny. So many people upset.
But not wrong. I’ve never met a single wealthy person who wore one. It’s always the people with the third owner BMW with the check engine light on.
🚫 The ROLEX you wear EXPOSES your social class:

• Gold Daytona 🇨🇭 (desperate to look rich)
• Diamond Datejust 🇨🇭 (money can't buy taste)
• Yacht-Master II 🇨🇭 (a yacht-sized ego)
• Two-Tone Submariner 🇨🇭 (CEO on credit)
🥈 MIDDLE CLASS ↓↓

The vast majority of the modern economy throughout the world is little more than day care for adults.
AI is making me realize just how much of the economy runs on human incompetence.
Waiting days for someone to answer an email.
Paying hundreds of dollars for something that takes 30 seconds.
Dealing with people who don’t understand their own jobs.
Getting charged extra because someone made a mistake.
We’ve normalized an absurd amount of inefficiency simply because humans were the only option.
Now there’s another option.
And people are calling it an existential threat.
Maybe the real existential threat is to the business model of being mediocre and getting paid anyway.

To Bernie's credit, he's being very moderate here in only wanting to ban super intelligence. Many in his party believe that anyone over 85 IQ is an existential risk to their policies
Bernie Sanders:
Democrats must enact a national moratorium on AI data centers, must pause advanced AI development, and ban superintelligence.
A moratorium on data centers is exactly what the American people want.

A good engineer should rarely need to be assigned work.....they should know enough about project/priorities etc to anticipate what needs to be done and put themselves forward for particular tasks. In that way they effectively also gain more independence/autonomy.
I'm kinda looking forward to it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger type of thing, and the more pressure is applied, the more you grow.
I'm confident that by this time next year I will be far beyond what my capabilities are now and I'll be doing things I can't even imagine now.
I’m rotating all my API keys/secrets and segregating sensitive credentials on devices that aren’t exposed to AI.
I’m not sure we’re quite ready to deal with the shitshow that 2027 is going to be.
