AI tools have increased code output. The bottleneck is the second half of the software lifecycle: monitoring, debugging, and incident response. Sazabi memorizes every incident and improves from the collective experience of customers. Congrats on the launch! https://t.co/PYbgd7V34d

One issue i have with this article is that aristocrats don’t work because they don’t know how to. Not because they choose to live a beautiful life. They are literally incapable people who haven’t done anything useful their whole lives. https://t.co/GT3mfg1NtE
