The E5-2670v1 was goated for this back in 2016-2017. You could get them for like 25-50 bucks. I still have one of the supermicro boards I got from work in hardware decommissioning and one of the chinese franken-boards with a modded bios.

More LoC means easier to quantify the impact when telling a story. The actual code quality may be lower but that’s the schmuck’s problem that comes after once promo is acquired.

agreed. I previously spent like the last 15+ years checking hacker news every morning at the start of the day but within last year I've found the content to be less interesting and hacker news has lost its stickiness.

It’s interesting how accurate this is to my experience back in like 2015/2016. Almost verbatim the same playbook. If they all utilize the same playbook, it seems like there’s an opportunity to use AI + skills playbook to trim the fat and streamline these PEs firms. I’m sure it could reduce headcount, lower PE management fees, etc

Hmm seems their play is to encourage security to experiment with AI e.g. Claude etc. Google's play seems to be spend 30 billion+ for Wiz and sell both the poison (AI) and the cure (Wiz security services). Interesting business models, reminds me of when CVS would sell cigarettes.

Google is an Advertisement company. Everything they do revolves around slurping up the most valuable data to better identify people and be able to identify trends. They’ve become increasingly less and less open as year goes by and they still haven’t found their next big cash cow to offset decline to their current cash cow.
