I like Mitchell’s “this is not anti AI, it is anti idiot” reasoning. We all were beginners once and had experienced people teach us. Pay that forward. But you can’t teach someone who doesn’t want to learn. You shouldn’t waste your time on that, especially if you do open source in your own free time.

Right now we're looking at Google to bridge the gap, which will work but does not spark joy.

@apenwarr.ca hi, unsolicited Tailscale feedback/ask. We're Rippling IAM customers and they don't have OIDC for custom apps, but their app shop does support OIDC (and SCIM): developer.rippling.com/documentatio... - any chance TS will get in there so things will 'just work'?
