The cat is finally out of the bag. My new brand/company @dometrain (dometrain.com), is now live! For the past few months, I've been working on rebranding my courses website, not only to give it a fresh coat of paint but also to make sure it is a great home for more authors to create courses on. If you already are someone who creates courses and you're looking for a new home, reach out and let's have a chat.

Announcing that a model is out and not delivering it should be illegal. Just stay quiet until you can properly roll it out to the public. I don't care how many resets you gift. Do better.

If you have a popular NuGet package (250M+ downloads) and want to sell it, DM me. I have an idea.

I am always for open-source charging money, but if you're gonna make a library paid, at least make it more expensive. The barrier isn't the price; it's procurement. This is way too cheap for the logistical nightmare something like this would be for a company.

Was thinking of buying a Mac Mini for some agent automations I needed and ended up spinning up 10 macOS and Linux VMs instead with my spare 300GB of RAM for the entire team to use. What a machine the Mac Studio is. Such a shame they don’t sell it anymore.

Vibe coders trying to justify why they don’t review the code and rely on their "sophisticated" test suites that are also vibe coded is the funniest shit
