Speed of growth. Being profitable is one of the best times to raise. You don't need the money, but it'll accelerate the next phase of growth. Retaining profitability after raising is probably harder as you're expected to spen

Bad analogy.. if they truly care what colour your house is then there's plenty of strings they could pull. I mean, a good number of large U.S. company's tax and corporate structures depend heavily on Liechtenstein's governmen

How about a standard entity "OSI perhaps?!", that commits a file to an early stage of the repository (could this be automated), who then cannot / will not give approval for a relicense?

Sounds like we need a "forever open source" license. A commitment that any significant derivative retain the original (or some later version) of the original license. "Free to do whatever as long as it retains this license. A

If my experience is anything to go by - a good proportion of this will be people accidentally double clicking a .md (or other random text suffix), and cursing whilst they wait for XCode to slowly load enough that they can quit it and open t

There's non flagship, and there's ex-flagship. I'd much rather have an ex-flagship phone that, at the time, had what was considered one of the best cameras (actually pretty much all I care about). That said, I'm looking

The way a French friend put it to me when they were learning English through immersion.. I dreamt in English last night! Now I know I can speak the language! Being monolingual, and then trying to pick up another language later in life, a bi

Haven't they already started to regress? I'm bullish on specific areas improving (I'm sure you could selectively train an LLM on the latest Angular version to replace the majority of front-end devs given enough time and money

Thank you so much for WSD.. I've used it extensively for at least a decade. We even self hosted it at one place after I pushed for it. It was indeed pioneering in its day, though I find the default mermaid integration in the likes of N

Is that what the market demands, or is the market unable to differentiate? From the site there's a huge assumption that potential customers are aware of what extrait de parfum is vs eau de parfum (or even eau de toilette!). Might be wo

Sounds good. What languages do you support? Learning Latvian through Anki flashcards, but it's not well supported by the main platforms, and there's not a huge amount of content out there for learning. This alongside a couple of t

Something on my ideas list was some interactive game type thing for when cursor is busy "thinking". This should fit the bill nicely!

Love the ebike analogy! You're right though, you need to be able to steer, but you don't necessarily need to be able to map read. Case in point, I recently stood up my first project in supabase, cursor happily created the tables,

I've shared this with friends that are teaching, and they're definitely going to try it. It was but 4 weeks ago that I had a very animated conversation with a teacher friend who wanted me to help them simply "just make AI do

In Wales (UK), they've leant fully into "personalised learning plans". Not to mention they've changed the curriculum completely in the past few years. This essentially means that every lesson taught has to have a learnin

Great to see this. Ironically, given Google's stronghold over the past decade, I strongly feel that one of the big winners in the AI space is going to be the backend search engine. Modern web search has become so polluted, with many tr

Sites are ranked higher when they have no ads. Fully open source. That's a good starting point..

This is great to see, thanks. There's so much time spent (dare I say wasted) on building and tweaking materials by teachers that it feels like an area AI can make a huge impact, directly improving the quality of life for a large number

I agree about the hidden work, but you describe it in a reactionary manner. A huge amount of management effort goes into being proactive so you don't even need to get to the point in the conversation where they voice wanting to leave.

Whilst the pendulum seems well on its way to be swinging from microservices back to monoliths, I'm thinking we'll end up in a place that limits the volume and complexity of the code in a single service so that it's just large
