J'ai reçu le bilan comptable d'1.2.Train et le bénéfice avant impôts est de 6498€

C'est un montant réalisé sans me verser 1 euro de salaire.

Avec 104000 billets vendus en 2025, ça fait un bénéfice de... 6 centimes par billet!

C'est la SNCF qui coûte le plus cher: elle facture à 1.2.Train la création de chaque billet de train (le montant est secret).

La banque occupe la 2eme place: 26000€ de frais bancaires 😅

L'objectif pour 2026? Ne rien lâcher... et arriver à me verser quelque chose!

I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit

Love how every website now has a popup that tells you "our website is hot dogshit, download the app instead"

And then the app is just an Electron wrapper around the same JS they could have put on the website if they didn't hate you personally

How many years of our lives have been wasted away because someone had a KPI to increase usage of some dumb feature, and they chose the most user-hostile way to increase it.

(I'm thinking a lot of Copilot right now btw)

Why senior developers fail to communicate their expertise
