Versteckte Kündigungsgebühren: Millionenstrafe für Adobe
Adobe legt einen Rechtsstreit über versteckte Kündigungsgebühren mit einer Geldstrafe bei, streitet aber ein Fehlverhalten ab.
Day 50 of building in public.
While waiting for additional approvals, I started working on a new design for a feature and have already prepared a high-level architecture.

I've been training many teams around coding, design, and refactoring this past year, and here are three things I repeat often:
Fix the small things, particularly during training. Learning to be super fast at fixing the small things prepare you for when the big things will come. In that, when big things arrive, the small things will never be an issue, you can deal with them on autopilot and save your energy for the big things.

When buying WordPerfect in 1987 for my desktop PC whose only link to the surrounding world was a 2400 bps modem and a copper telephone wire, I don't remember having any feeling that the Wordperfect Corporation wanted to spy on me, sell my personal information, enshittify the software and fund global fascism.
Maybe there is a market for similar products today as well.

I've been writing this piece on and off for around five years now. I've rewritten it a bunch of times. I think it is okay to publish now.

Day 49 of building in public.
I spent today polishing the landing page and refining the back-end services, with a laser focus on media preparation and image optimization.
The big win? I converted most images to WebP format. This simple switch dramatically cuts file sizes while preserving visual quality. The result: faster page loads and a smoother user experience.
Sometimes the best improvements happen behind the scenes.

> Here's what I notice about my grief: none of it is about missing the act of writing code. It's about the world around the code changing. The ecosystem, the economy, the culture...[My grief] is about the context and the reasons why we're doing any of this.

Guess Meta's all in on #AI isn't paying off ;)
"Engagement rates on #Instagram, LinkedIn and #Threads declined last year compared with 2024, while #Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok increased slightly."
Not a good look when you just had to write off the US$ 73 Billion from that failed #Metaverse!

Ah another day on the socials where developers who work on software and platforms that actually hurt people complain about not being liked while pocketing fat paychecks and avoiding any responsibility for the harm they cause
Have a great day!

Question for #Erlang , #Elixir , #BEAMVM people:
If I wrote my web app in Elixir, would I be able to get rid of #Nginx and just use some Elixir framework to do TLS termination, load balancing, and hot code reloading whenever I needed to change up the routes? Can this be done across numerous compute nodes fairly easily?
Follow-up question: how difficult is it to do a database migration for an Elixir application with hot code reloading?
The reason I ask is because is because I (probably unwisely) asked an LLM chatbot (Gemini) this question and it said typically people put their Elixir programs behind an Nginx load balancer so you can reboot the Elixir application if necessary. I asked it why anyone would do this since the main benefit of using the BEAM VM and Erlang/Elixir it is to have hot code reloading and no downtime. The chatbot started spouting off very confused and self-contradictory answers, so I am pretty sure it was just lying.
But I am no expert on Elixir, so now I want to ask a human who knows better than me, the way we all used to do before LLMs were invented.
