Just in case this isn't a compliment, I'll note that I think Dex has been pretty good about admitting when they were wrong, explaining why they were wrong, and what they're doing n…

There are much cheaper ways to acquire a bank charter though?

Agreed and I think the author agrees with this too. One of the ideas is that the devs should be discussing and documenting their intent outside of the code then letting AI tools ge…

I wonder if the reception is so variable due to differing exposure to 1) infra as code and 2) engineering teams that don't produce any artifacts outside of their code. > When start…

I think the point is that there are better engineering artifacts to review instead of lines of code. Encoding the decisions, structure, requirements, testing, monitoring, then revi…

Has anyone seen evidence of lower levels in other countries? I searched for recent studies and it sounds like Canada and the EU have also reported similar findings but there isn't …

A lot of these articles and social media discussions miss by not contemplating the fact that by increasing productivity and incomes we have also increased the cost of leisure. In t…

Many AI initiatives have had massive ROI though. The implementation problems are similar to any pre-AI tech rollout and hugely expensive non-AI tech implementations fail all the ti…

Zulip is awesome \m/

Another component or view of this is that automating the rote work is "eliminating the boring parts" (I love this and have worked extensively on this) but it is also eliminating th…

Scraping these from the city violations DB was a cool idea.

In 2022, Brex shifted away from SMB to refocus their offering. They cut "tens of thousands" of SMB customers who didn't fit their new ICP. They announced this in June 2022 and gave…

It could definitely be a niche thing with me squarely in the niche. It was my top pick for our mix of activities in the mountain west.

Pretty surprised here and I think it was really just bad marketing or I guess unsustainable unit economics. Price out the cheapest F-150 (XL) with a supercrew cab and 4x4 and you a…

They also might be least aware of the consequences as they've grown up during the least violent time in US and human history.

I need to read books like this with extra intentionality or it all just flows through and I might retain a couple of key concepts if I'm lucky. 1) Highlighting or underlining along…

Sounds like they're getting paid based on his note to employees: > "The proceeds from Meta's investment will be distributed to those of you who are shareholders and vested equity h…

I'll also note that I have multiple Mercury accounts and part of the way they have mitigated the risk of easier account opening and taking on higher risk customers is that they imp…

Lol, what triggered this absolute hatchet job targeting Mercury? I haven't read other posts from the author but are all of them of this style? Most of it reads like a Muddy Waters …

Have you adjusted the lighting around your monitor/office? This seems to have a big impact on my eye strain.

Muddy Waters has been around for a while and had some high profile hits.

This sounds similar to a small private school in the USA. Public schools here do not allow or enable discipline or the backing of the school.
