    Yes and it’s still always better to try new things then wait for approval or something to be perfect if you want the company to keep innovating.

    The comms problems are exactly what makes it interesting to me, since autonomy is fully required really.

    Yep. The AI advances and pushing for much more autonomy are why I think there’s something new possible here.

    I’ve always wanted to start a company that builds automated underwater swarms of “probes” that just search and return info and carry out small exploration tasks but over long amoun…

    Yep. I love open source but there isn’t a model that comes close still to the closed source options like Opus 4.8 and that’s obvious from most people I see across the software indu…

    It’s very easy to do the same thing in a variety of ways and simple guis are basically solved by Claude/codex for almost anything.

    Comment #48000448

    I’m relatively certain it’s just this at the end of the day. Everything I see people doing in their custom built TUIs or claude/codex CLI can be done, likely even easier, in a simp…

    None of the important projects or FANGs build with frameworks like that, sorry. Project management frameworks are all larp and mostly used by slow moving firms from the past.

    A couple reasons I would guess: 1. Full carrying cost of an employee is much more then their salary so this math is not as straight forward if you’re just cutting time and salary t…

    Simply being polite. Understanding there are other people in the world you inhabit. Things like that.

    Pretty neat but as someone who commutes every day on the New York subway I hope it’s never “cracked” here. Phone usage without headphones is already annoying enough and I greatly a…

    Very cool. I built something similar but hooked it into a printer/publisher to get physical books -> BespokeBooks.io

    Not wanting to use Vercel is honestly a good enough reason. If you’re a heavy Vercel user you probably aren’t their target market since they’re aiming at enterprise types from what…

    What were the problems? I've been trying it out and haven't hit issues yet, but not using it at scale yet so I'm curious what to watch out for. I figure it's open source (MIT) so I…
