If you replaced "AI" with "a developer" in this article, it might make more sense why it's being dunked on. It would be an article about someone telling someone to do something, an…

I mean. they're selling it to a competitor so it's not really an advantage

yes, but it's only advantage if one is compute-strained and the other isn't. if they both have lots then there's no advantage. if one doesn't fully utilise their compute then it's …

Their offering was paid-for bundles of components and templates using tailwind, which they primarily drove traffic to via their documentation, which wasn't getting visited as much …

When I choose priority delivery in Uber, I can see the driver go to the store, pick up my order and drive directly to my place. I also see the driver usually have 1-2 stops on the …

I agree! There's certainly a difference between making useful content for the love of it and making content because you think there's an opportunity to get something out of that (t…

Again, not all replacements need to replace 100% or even 10% of plastic use to be able to have an a positive impact. There's space for a short-life plastic just like there's (curre…
