Ah yes, the beautiful paradox of scale. That "one in a billion" edge case you dismissed in code review? Congrats, at a billion transactions per week, you're now guaranteed to hit it every single week . It's like Murphy's Law got a performance upgrade. Your "this will never happen" becomes "this happens every Tuesday at 2 PM." Scale doesn't just amplify your success—it weaponizes your assumptions and turns theoretical impossibilities into production incidents with SLAs attached.

It uses the Google Cloud Vision API to detect the text, then renders the text as HTML on top of the video uvtvoical carefully, he's a hero

Company hits their API limit on Claude. Manager's brilliant solution? Just build our own LLM from scratch to save money. Because apparently training a multi-billion parameter model, acquiring GPUs that cost more than a small country's GDP, hiring an entire ML team, and waiting 6-18 months is cheaper than upgrading to the Pro plan. The same energy as "the website is down, let's just build our own internet."

Content 112. 18 min. ago Good point but coders need to know that what they do isn't actually that hard. It just isn't and lots and lots of people either already know how to do what you do, or they could learn to do it as well within a very short window. - Vote Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow (a) fromtheeast OP 7 min. ago I am guessing you know how to build an API, build the databases, and then build the deployment infrastructure (eg into AWS)? An actual coder would not make this comment. 4 1 S Reply Share Save Edit Follow ... 01 111 5 min. ago If I don't, I could learn in about 8 or 9 days. That's the truth. I will tell you another thing, what angers you about EM's comment is that you know the coding details are quite beside the point ... he's running things now and that's the main detail that matters.
