I didn't test with ChatGPT yet so this is a fair comment. I'm not sure how good their MCP offering is at this time? It was quite easy to connect MCP and ClickHouse for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Gemini CLI.

Assuming there’s fixed demand. If companies can get 20% more software for the same price then there is still a lot of automation to do

It's nice. I actually pay for something like this. The only thing I think I would need to switch is canvas size, ideally where I can select sizes for Twitter, Instagram etc. Being able to paste an image would be nice too. Nice work!

Because it looks nice and makes it pop in a social media feed.

How can it take 3-4 months to get an eCommerce site back online? I assume you could redeploy everything from scratch in less time if you have source code and release assets. With backups and failover sites I can’t think of any world where

They outsource as much as they can to the cheapest system integrators they can find, primarily TCS.

Isn’t the bigger problem that the US has a population of 340 million, New Zealand has a population of 5 million?

I also don’t feel great after eating out for 3 meals per day. That’s the mean reason we use AirBNB.

Reminds me of his “diary of a CEO” interview where he spends half of it reading out his own inspirational emails to the team.

That’s a good idea. I’m just setting up an AirBNB and need all of the above.

I started out loving AirBNB. Then I had quite a few bad experiences and flipped back to hotels as the price equalised. In the last year or two I’ve gone back to AirBNB as the hosts seem to have professionalised and hotel prices have heade

That’s my experience too. I’ve deployed it more than ten times as a consultant and never really understood the reputation for complexity. It “just works.”

What’s the net margin? Is anyone making money on inference yet?

When I saw the headline, I wondered why Sergey hadn't bought it for his spare change. I guess this is why.

Why do people (usually Americans) have this perception that we are an authoritarian hellscape on press freedom. There have been a few silly stories where local police forces overreach to a social media post, but generally nobody could care

Doomscrolling appears to have totally replaced reading on the commute. I’m not sure it’s that much more virtuous to read a few Dan Browns or John Grisham per year though?

The poster or the headline doesn’t say they are all fraudulent. It says the payments are nearly impossible to trace.

Many companies will throw existing employees and even founders under the bus if they think their is a few dollars to be won. To think they wouldn’t play games with ex employees is naive in the extreme.

An iPad is more portable and lighter and cheaper than a MacBook. On some days I would like to use a tablet for much of my day (between meetings, checking emails) and switch to a laptop like experience for an hour or so.

Because an ipad pro is viable as a monitor. With a phone you would need an external monitor.

Since the 13 they’ve all been so incremental. I’m left wondering what’s changed most times. This is the first cycle I’m not upgrading. I pay for my wife and kid phones and as we all have 15s that feel brand new, I’m looking forward to a f

I’ve wanted this with an iPad for years. A proper mouse, higher resolution and a few UI tweaks and it replaces a laptop for most people. I assume it’s just to stop it cannibalising other product sales.

It’s been on the up in recent years though as it appears to have won the format wars. Every vendor is rallying around it and there were new open source catalogues and support from AWS at the end of 2024.

He suggests writing for the AI so that your name is ingested into the training set. The problem is that most of the vendors don’t even give attribution, so they’ll share your idea but not your name and certainly won’t be giving you any tra

Interest rates are like a dial which turns economic activity up and down. I’ve always understood that in theory but it’s the first time I’ve actually lived through it and it’s wild. A few years of higher rates and half of the tech industry

The Covid response seems to have really turned things upside down in relation to work. Inflation and cost cutting and this big readjustment in people’s values. I think apathy has ratcheted up and I don’t see how it reverts back.

The amount of engagement and passion for work feels at an all time low based on the circles I move in in the UK. Almost everyone I know has half an eye on the exit or they are making decisions like cutting back to one person businesses or t
