The Economics of Software Teams: Why Most Engineering Organizations Are Flying Blind

The Economics of Software Teams: Why Most Engineering Organizations Are Flying Blind

๐Ÿ”ฅ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: โ† Back to Blog This post works through the financial logic of software teams, from what a team of eight engineers actually costs per month to what it needs to generate to be economically viable. It also examines why most teams have no visibility into either number, how that condition was built over two decades, and what the arrival of LLMs now means for organizations that have been treating large engineering headcount as an asset. Software development is one of the most capital-intensive activities a…

State of Homelab 2026 | Tech blog about the boring stuff.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Check out this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Iโ€™m kind of a person who secretly (well, not THAT secretly) wants to own a bunker. A bunker, solar panels, generators, ability to run off the grid, own mesh networks and a Starlink antenna. Thereโ€™s something appealing in that idea, being independent and prepared, a male fantasy likely never coming to life.For now I have to sublimate and replace it with something else, something tied to my passion towards technology, and building a homelab seems like a good beginning, so let the boy tell…

How the “AI Loser” may end up winning

How the “AI Loser” may end up winning

๐Ÿ”ฅ Explore this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: A few weeks ago I wrote about how I thought intelligence is becoming a commodity. The idea is quite straightforward, and widespread now: when everyone races to build the best model, the models get better, but so does every other model eventually. Every dollar spent on a bigger training run makes the previous one cheaper. The distance between frontier, second-best, and open-source alternatives is collapsing fast (actually Gemma4, Kimi K2.5 and GLM 5.1 are becoming my bedside models these days). Even more, as models become…

๐Ÿ’ฅ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: [Submitted on 23 Mar 2026 (v1), last revised 4 Apr 2026 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled All elementary functions from a single binary operator, by Andrzej Odrzywoโšกek View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:A single two-input gate suffices for all of Boolean logic in digital hardware. No comparable primitive has been known for continuous mathematics: computing elementary functions such as sin, cos, sqrt, and log has always required multiple distinct operations. Here I show that a single binary operator, eml(x,y)=exp(x)-ln(y), together with…
