I’ve worked with their consultants and they were lovely. They hate Azure too.

I imagine that no one likes Azure.

Azure container apps are a great (idea) and work mostly fine as long as you don’t need to touch them. But they’re just like GCR or what fargate should be - container + resources and off you go.

We ran many internal workloads on ACA, but we had _so may issues_ with everything else around ACA…

Only C level likes Azure

We use Azure for desktops and we pay $600/month for 4 cores, getting performance comparable to a $60 Intel N100 chip.

The only good thing Microsoft azure ever did for me was provide a very easy way to exploit their free trial program in the early 2010s to crypto mine for free. It couldn’t do much, but it was straight up free real estate for CPU mining. $200 or 2 weeks per credit/debit card.

Ah, I did the same, but wasn't the experience/UI back then pretty nice too?

I haven't used azure since then, but I remember the web interface was way more polished than aws and things worked ok (spinning up a VM was fast etc).

So I'm confused by how everyone seems to hate it now.

I used it for MMO goldfarming - circa 2012/2013

Damn that’s impressive. Wasn’t it all command line at the time?

Yeah no shade on the consultants. I’ve worked with some good ones too.

Sat across from Dr. Ruth on the Acela going from NYC to DC for business. She was lovely and sharp as ever.

Like video gaming, but similar.

I have a theory that prediction markets will becomes hyperstition engines. This is a rather... violent example.

I have no idea how this ended up here, but after giving it a listen, thank you for the chuckle. I wouldn’t have come across it otherwise.

:) sometimes I post lyrics I’m reminded of, the internet is meant to be about links and hyperlinks, just doing my part to increase connectivity (:

Entire product or a feature for a product? Sometimes you just want to test an idea and vibe coding works well for that in the very short amount of time it takes now. Product market fit, user testing, engineering, those can come after the hunch.

Wait until you meet a VP in finance.

Oof. I turned the history referencing off. I use ChatGPT for wildly diverging topics and it will bring things up that have zero relevance to what I'm currently looking for if history is on.

Yup. I can see that being a problem. My use is pretty linear, so that isn't an issue. I think that you might be able to establish different "contexts," though I haven't tried.

I will see whether or not I can “wipe the slate clean,” between projects.

I would also NEVER use it for any confidential/proprietary stuff that can’t leak.

The project I’m working on is not open-source, but we don’t really care too much, if it leaks. I don’t send in any credentials; just source.

Right now, it’s helping me design tests in Postman, to validate the API.

This is a good idea. Not sure what ToS it would violate. But a good idea.
