What a load of horsecrap. Google was never good at usability or UX. But that's a new low. This is ambiguous as it gets and good UX is opposite of that. If I need to undo half the stuff that happened or an AI starts to do stuff I don&#x

Doesn't change anything about opus 4.7 being an absolute buffon. Even going back to opus 4.6 doesn't feel like the magical period maybe 3-4 weeks ago. Gonna go back to openAI

Totally agreed! I think good orgs that run well have a good feedback process and ownership between the individual teams. In my experience, the closer they work together, the more visible the impact is on ROI. The less context everybody has,

Meetings aren't even the worst resource wasters. Wrong initiatives, features, apps/platforms/services are. They capture future resources in form of maintenance and complexity with them.

I do tech dd, exit readiness and post merger integration in tech companies and this is my daily bread. The biggest lever I have: connecting initiatives to ROI/bottom line impact. It's incredible how blind product/software tea

You sure? You ever ran a business? Prototyping costs, machines, licenses, overhead etc. etc.

looks pretty cool, but as all AI landing pages do, it suffers from not enough contrast. you might want to lighten the darker text shades ;)

then it pretty obviously is not better?

This website is absolutely horrible to use. We adhere to UX standards for a reason. That is familiarity so people don't have to think about how to use things. This website feels weird and I dropped out before I could read what it'

How do you use it? I explored building on this as a platform but ditched it because only crypto nerds seem to use it and fiat is used all around anyway.

AI flattens everything I think. Not sure how to articulate it properly, but it reduces depth of any kind somehow

Might be because of AI written comments like these ;)

or efficiency is more important because you have a high load of people you need to interact with. I was a grammer nazi back in the day but stopped caring because the ROI is minimal and I've got shit to do that's more important. so

I was the first to return markdown and use reader mode stuff to strip irrelevant stuff. Theres copying and there's talking to the founder sounding interested to have your team copy what I did in the background. One is fair game, the ot

fuck firecrawl. they copied my idea by showing interest in my product and then copied it, used their YC money to give it all out for free. fuck nick in particular. I'm still salty over this

Doesn't work for pages protected by cloudflare in my experience. What a shame, they could've produced the problem and sold the solution.

Who said PR reviews need to solve all the things and result in proof against idiots? So you're saying that peer reviews are a waste of time and only idiots would use/propose them?

Which would be a good idea, as a European. I'd hate to see the investment go to waste on taxes that are spent on stupid shit anyway. Should go into R&D not fighting bureaucracy.

I just launched bookcall.io publicly last week. Think calendly that treats your scheduling page more like a sales funnel. Very important if one call can make you a bunch of money. Page builder, brand assets, videos, documents etc. attachabl

You should have that for your main data, yes. I insist on that as well. Making backups, cold storage, and getting them back online. Yearly is not enough. My point was that not everything needs a backup or a DR. Spend your time wisely, we&#x

Of course, no worries. Nothing irreplaceable will be lost ;) It was meant as a general example to be used in future arguments for everybody in tech leadership.

That was my point: now we have a very specific case we can argue. I always used the "what if a plane crashes into the data center" argument. Now I can say: in one of my engagements, we lost a datacenter completely because of a dro

Not sure why everyone read this as me doing anything here, I'm a fractional CTO, which is kind of an advisor. Nothing invaluable will be lost tho. It's not the core platform, just a localized version for specific customers in the

To a lot of managers/startup execs this is something like "we won't ever need this". And I'd agree to some extent for not so important/rebuildable services. Depends on what you need. In startups, you don't

I've been working on that for a client since yesterday (as a fractional CTO). Pretty hectic, basically nothing really works and we don't know yet if all data is lost or if anything is recoverable or when AWS UAE will become functi
