I wonder how long he waited for the CPAN nologin case. I remember requesting a CPAN account 3 years back and it took ~2 months for someone to look at and accept.
Past experiences include Cisco (bad incentives, they make a lot of money from certifications and licenses), TP-Link (broke the case physically when pressing a button, was left without updates after some time), Ubiquiti (could not handle the load of my home network. I had the edgerouter-x though which is weak)
I was quite happy with Ubiquity for a while, but their cloud push and constantly moving and hiding features in their UI is driving me mad. Power isn't the issue since I got the UDM-SE. Mikrotik came up as the next router I'll be buying. I just want consistent CLI configuration at this point. Stop moving my cheese and forcing features I don't want.
Why would your customer invest in your system instead of going directly to stocks/ETFs?
The people holding 10k€+ in cash/ bank savings account that I know are old, tech illiterate, afraid of investing, and oblivious to the effects of inflation. They simply store the money somewhere so they can use it later at a short notice.
With these people you have way too much friction with the Coinbase way. Even if you succeeded in convincing them they deserve yield, it will be hard to compete with investing tools that are integrated into their banking apps that show higher profits than you.
You’re right that tech-lilliterate retirees aren’t our customer. Our early adopter is 25-40, digitally comfortable, has money sitting idle not because they’re scared of investing but because they want liquidity and simplicity without decisions.
Stocks/ETFs are a different risk profile you can lose 20% in a quarter. Our yield comes from overcollateralized lending (150-200% collateral). It’s not risk-free, but it’s fundamentally different from equity exposure. We’re filling the gap between “savings account earning nothing” and “invested in markets with real volatility” — liquid, passive, stable yield. That gap doesn’t really exist in European fintech today.
This. In my experience the people actively disliking it have only ever used Jenkins 1 or somewhy only used freestyle jobs.
There are numerous ways to shoot yourself in the foot, though, and everything must be configured properly to get to feature parity with GHA (mail server, plugins, credentials, sso, https, port forwarding, webhooks, GitHub app, ...).
But once those are out of the way, its the most flexible and fastest CI system I have ever used.
>Development fits into the gaps of the day instead of requiring dedicated desk time.
I find myself planning and jotting down things into a notebook while juggling adult/parent responsibilities. On little longer gaps I research. Then when the occasional longer gap happens I'm ready to start cracking on my desktop. I've been only dabbling with AI but have found that writing prompts by hand in the notebook and using the desk time to execute them works well. This also keeps me in the free tier.
Aggregator for finding things to do with kids in Finland.
At a family gathering was asking a relative how his beginner level programming course was going. Was blown away to learn that he had just vibed this and now had already a steadily increasing stream of traffic. I had already used it myself.
One of the many wonderful things about being a software developer is that you can build tools that fit you perfectly, and I think I might enjoy this specific rabbit hole, but thanks for the tip, I’ll check some of them out.
