    2024 Year in Review

Watch the YouTube Live Recording of Episode 500 Runner-up Titles I blame Product Management I don’t think I’m gonna buy a pair of jeans this year. Should I go full Kirkland?

The Suicide Squad Strategy SSH is failure. Resolutions Rundown Revisiting 2024 Predictions Apple Vision Pro Twitter vs. Threads vs. Mastodon vs. Bluesky News and Trends from 2024 Open Source License Changes Antitrust Investigations AI Is Everywhere Platform Engineering Listener Questions What’s worked well for the podcast? What tips do you have for aspiring podcasters? How did NO SSH JJ and Tasty Meats Paul get their nicknames? 2025 Predictions Ray-Ban Meta Glasses will not be widely adopted. Apple will keep trying with the Vision Pro, but not much will happen. Federation between social sites will not gain traction; social silos will remain the norm. Nvidia will continue to grow and exert dominance. Tech monopolies will persist, but no significant remedies will be imposed. 2025 Resolutions I will accept that OSS projects may change their licenses and adapt accordingly. I will remain calm when OSS projects stop offering easy-to-use, free versions. I will accept that hyperscalers hosting or monetizing OSS projects is inevitable. I will see forking OSS projects after a license change as a natural evolution of open source. I will use AI to summarize my writing and send the summary if it communicates my point more effectively.
