For sure, as an EU based company we will only use US suppliers for coding but never for fuctions in our own products. Mistral knows this.

I don't understand why the law isn't the same for everyone? If I made an AI hack HF, I go to jail, no? How can the feds decide not to apply the law?

I think it's great. I think whatever you are doing in the US under Trump we do best doing the opposite.

I am so glad that I don't have to live in the US right now. If this is loosing we should do even more of it.

I think the biggest problems with SOAP was the implementations, never the standard. WCF...

It's cool to hate on Spotify now I guess. But I agree with you, Spotify works really well for me.

Thanks, might be the best blog I've read in 2026. AI can of course do architecture as well but oh boy will you have a bad time when your application breaks and neither you or AI can fix it.

Re:Stripe, Advent offer to buy PayPal for more than $53B on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @04:01PM (#48926330)
PayPal seems to me like something from the past that no one uses. But sure, they have a market and a profit, but a future?

Will Stripe move customers from PayPal to Stripe or will they fix PayPal?

Re:Stripe, Advent offer to buy PayPal for more than $53B on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @02:33PM (#48925167)
Why, what is the play here? I know PayPal is used extensively in some countries (like Brazil?) but in most countries there are other/local services that have substantial market share and I do not think that PayPal can compete.

They discuss why this might be a bad idea in the article.
Do they really? "SOTA" is great for development and creating content but for industrial needs.... perhaps they are not really "SOTA"?

Re:The truth about being a manager on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @04:35PM (#48650994)
This is an fantastic article (atleast for me as a swede). Most of it can be true depending on your situation but please remember "Being a manager can be fun and fulfilling".

Seeing a peer grow into seniourship or be instrumental fixing a problem in a team is the reward. Yes being a manager costs but there are fantastic moments when it's clear that it was worth it.

I don't agree that they are falling behind. Using both chat and cli I get what I need and it's comparable to "sota" when I compare.
Interesting development, it's impressively fast. How will this affect OpenAI and Anthropic when this hit the market?
The market for these kind of apps in Europe is very divided (just in the Nordics you have Swish, MobilePay and Vipps) but the dent in MC/Visas dominance is significant today. In 2 years, Klarna, Swish and Vipps will be more common both in e-commerce and POS that MC/Visa.

Do we need a pan-EU standard? I'm actually not so sure, but yes it would be nice when traveling.

It's very funny to me that all of our municipal EU customers requires that we host in EU. But they all run Microsoft online email, Entra and so on themselves.
Re:The US Is Winning the AI Race on Wednesday May 13, 2026 @11:46PM (#48130876)
I would say that both US and China are using the data we trust upon them for industrial espionage. So don't use their models if you are working defence or other sensitive areas
Re:The US Is Winning the AI Race on Wednesday May 13, 2026 @11:37PM (#48130823)
This is spot on. The US under MAGA are actively dismantling their once leading position in IT as well as defence. I guess it is hard to see as a US citizen but from outside this is clear as glass.
Europe is not falling behind on anything that is not reasonable.

The increased growth in USA the last decade have largely been created by means that one day will be quite costly for you (debt).

The USA under MAGA is falling apart. EU and others are actively minimizing risk by selecting non-US IT providers. EU and others are actively selecting non-US defence aystems.

I say that it is very positive to protect your citizens. Russia (sending their citizens en masse to a certain death on the front lines) and USA have more in common politically than USA and EU.

Why don't you research this and report back your findings. Learning is a cool experience, compared to prejudice.
Good lock with that denial it's surely must be due to anything but the super obvious thing that science is warning us about and all data points to.
Can you please provide sources for your claims.

Maybe I misunderstood your initial comment
Re:Don't become an engineering manager on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @02:13PM (#47237270)
Why unpopular? Sounds about right to me.

I understand that some people take the manager path for the title/pay and never understands that the role is about handle people - not the tech. But they will not be very appreciated or it's a very small shop.

Re:Don't become an engineering manager on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @02:09PM (#47237203)
It's totally different skill sets yes, but some developers can become good managers.
Re:Don't become an engineering manager on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @02:04PM (#47237129)
As an EM I don't get this. You are the sole responsible for quality. You are the sole responsible for what tools use. AI is voluntary to use. If AI produces code that no one knows and is hard to maintain, don't use AI in that way. If you can't make that decision, are you really the EM?
