Congrats! That's pretty cool. I find in software the more constraints I can find the better the innovation ends up being, and business model is an excellent constraint - even just …

The world runs on spreadsheets! How do you plan on sustaining the business?

I'm figuring out stepping stones in getting closer to user data autonomy. A natural starting place is our professional history. So, I'm building a compatibility layer; something th…

Fair, my mistake. I've built a lot with LLM's, my experience sort of but not really tracks that. I've had to course correct a few bad abstractions but the larger the code base beco…

I think the trick here is plural; I guarantee no single human knows all 1 million lines. Note this is different than knowing how to orient yourself in a million line codebase quick…

This is an interesting idea. I'm building https://tend2thrive.com - I could see an interesting collaboration here. Always looking for ways to re-engage your network without it feel…

Things like this have existed for awhile. The challenge is always rolling it out to peers. It's confusing to them, and kills their velocity. Just like functional programming paradi…

Yeah, echoing the comments here. It's a good idea - kind of - but it is all about digging deeper when it is sus. The tool assumes so much. That it is fine to kill a process itself …

yeah, I think there's the marketing and then there's the actual true utility. AI isn't a better computer program. It's not going to be able to do everything you want autonomously. …

Fair. I have high hope for local inference, feel like right now it is simply cost prohibitive to get the hardware. It will be interesting to see what happens.

IMO It's a different and new model. We're engineers, and we're rich. It's not going to be good enough for us. But the much larger market by far is all the people who used to HAVE t…

I'm curious - why for now? This stuff is practically commoditized. Trying to think of anything that ever successfully got back into proprietary land from there.

Nice, you beat me to this concept. I finally planted a flag and decided to dev entirely on an M3 with 8Gb. It is completely feasible, and the battery life - amazing. Even when runn…

As an engineer, I want to believe this, but really - does it? Most folks use frameworks because it's easier than learning how to build it all yourself - things are done for you ins…

I've been exploring decentralized trust algorithms lately, and so reading this was nice. I've a similar intuition - for every advance in scraping detection, scrapers will learn too…

> What made it worth it for you? - Like you mentioned, it helps me learn more about a topic/explore it more deeply, I usually begin with an intuition and then explore outwards. - F…

Cooperatives do not get rid of the net negative cycle. Ultimately whatever the benevolent entity ends up being, it becomes a contest of who can bear to lose more money. Cooperative…

Good question, was on my mind too. The problem I could see is Walmart style - the predator will beat the prices of the non-predator down until the non-predator goes out of business…

Stay humble, stay hungry. Nice post.

I went ahead and implemented it locally, then tried pointing your preferred RSS reader to my site... and it worked! (facepalm) I already had an RSS feed, must be some Jekyll magic.…

Where's the how?

This was the prompt I needed to re-visit making sure my site had RSS! Maybe we'll roll together some day.

Builders once disrupted the tech world, but now they’re the gatekeepers. As their success made them risk-averse, they see any change as a threat. Today, they’re bullies - ripe for …

It's uncontroversial that with high traffic websites these sort of frameworks are necessary, but the decision to use React is much more commonly being applied at tiny companies as …
