Sure, I've cancelled my Max 20 subscription because you guys prioritize cutting your costs/increasing token efficiency over model performance. I use expensive frontier labs to get …

Maybe the Two Pizza rule: No team at Amazon should be larger than what two pizzas can feed (usually about 6 to 10 people).

I've been writing Elixir on-and-off since 2017 for personal projects and since 2024 professionally, at a big tech company. The two experiences couldn't be more different. While I l…
