- Comment on Netflix to take on Google and Amazon by building its own ad server 6 months ago:
It’s only logical. They already show ads. When they run their own ad tech stack, they cut out the middle man and earn all the money themselves.
Sure it takes a bit of work to get customers and such, but when you’re a company of that size with that many customers, it shouldn’t be that hard.
- Comment on Spotify just hid song lyrics behind its subscription 6 months ago:
In twenty years, “Spotify requires users to perform oral sex on executives to renew premium subscription.”

- Comment on Former Blizzard president wants to be able to leave a "tip" after completing $70 games: "I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20" 7 months ago:
Your tip is “make another game and I’ll buy it because the last one was good”.
I bought your product and you want me to pay extra because it lived up to what it promised?
For an indie game that I bought cheap (maybe even on sale), I do sometimes feel that the price was way too low for the game and I’d appreciate a easy way support the dev/studio a bit further. For AAA $70+ titles? Nope, not gonna happen.
What’s up with this guy? Was he told “f u pay me” too often by his developers, that he took this phrase and found a new meaning for it?

- Comment on My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open 11 months ago:
Ok, so they’re not targeting “day to day command-line use”, but development in general and want to offer a way to explain error messages, generate code, etc. If done right, and the model is trained in a good way, that might work. All the problems surrounding code gen models and copyright/license issues from the generated code still apply, though.
Especially the mention of WinDBG support and probably a way to guide you through might be a really nice feature.
Skimming through the MS blog post, that your link mentiones, I don’t really believe in the hype of “now everyone can be a developer” it offers - I’ve seen that too often with low-code, no-code, RPA,… tools to know that it won’t really scale. There’s more to development than just to generate code…

Wait what? I thought, they’d integrate it in the OS like they did with cortana - or Bing search in the start menu…
I’m from the EU, so I’m lucky and won’t see this anytime soon, but what does it do and how does it work in the Terminal? Is it a new tab complete, but with AI hallucinations instead of real commands/filenames?
