I think he doesn't need to understand the technology to point out the books are cooked. a business can sink in either way: the technology flops or the finances flop. he's arguing the /finances/ would flop. he doesn't argue that the /technology/ would flop, only that they can't come up with the money to pay their debters.

musk's public image is well known, and the statement is reflecting a useful heuristic / business sense; some customers really would use claude less knowing that it's buddies with musk now. Your own immaturity leaks through. I would say that the one weakness for OP is that people okay with using claude but not okay with grok might be a different size overlap than expected (either more people fine with both, or more people disjoint, or it just doesn't factor in for people).

This is kinda... rude. Like saying that a GUI doesn't serve a purpose when people could read the TTY.

CI gives you areas for your bash scripts to run in self-contained small runs, that may trigger other runs, in a repeatable fashion on a clean environment, on a GUI anybody in your team can see. It gives you quick integrations into things.

CD lets you repeatedly deploy - without forgeting a step that was only known to Phil, the guy that retired three years ago, remembering all the steps and doing something dependably.

IIRC stoicism was written by rich people (and advisors to rich people) who didn't focus at all on improving the system. It's on-brand for the self-help influencer phenomena where you disregard disadvantages to others and systemic problems.

if that floats your boat, sure. It's also home to most of the world's malware, and you usually don't need it.

I wonder what the level of difficulty getting this to run as a cloud image (e.g. on Vultr or Digitalocean) would be. Or getting it to boot a GUI and run firefox.
