The author posted a follow up using a more advanced (and expensive) gpt3 model (davinci) which does a better job of parsing out the zip codes. It generally does a better job at everything, but if you can get away with one of the less expens

The way I explain it to my kids is all about opportunities. I am not going to force them into a career path that uses calculus but I am going to make sure they have as many opportunities as possible to make their own choices later in life a

A barb typically extends off a "pointy piece" to prevent it from being removed easily without further injury. For example, some fishhooks and arrowheads. The fences aren't designed to poke and then stick in the flesh.

You can largely avoid useMemo by keeping your props and state in the format you actually need them. The solution for more complex useMemo and useCallback usage is to create your own hooks. You can compose all the hooks into a single hook th

The blink fitness example has to be the result of a bad business model. How long can gyms, cable companies, cell providers etc keep customers hostage with cancellation policies like this? I mean it has been forever but c'mon! If your b

Oh I get that for sure. My real recommendation was for the elk-stack in general. One can self-host it pretty easily depending skillsets. The service I recommended just makes it about as easy as your email aggregator. The email aggregator is

This is great! Hopefully the lambda you're using to aggregate your error logs doesn't have any issues. Though lack of signal is a signal, too. We use logz.io which is a managed elk stack. It has a free tier with 1 day of log reten

I don't depend on the actual typescript docs much but thankfully in @types and in tons of repos there are examples of well written typescript code. The amount of JS and TS out there is also a bit of a foot gun though so stick with heav

The downloaded songs play great if you toggle to airplane mode. The whole app is basically unusable with a spotty connection though. It is constantly attempting to do network things that block the ui.

Hire a sales guy/team to sell this as a tool to realtors and wholesaling companies. They spend a ton of money on market analysis products because most of them don't have any sort of background that helps with it. If it helps them

IMO as a solo founder, the absolute best thing you can do is create better self-service options so you aren't even in the loop. Help docs, wizards, faqs, a forum/community where customers can help each other. After that... hire so

Yes, delight has been overused and dumbed down to industry vernacular for any positive user emotion. It has a connotation that includes rarity or almost... (and I am putting on my over the top sales person hat) "something to be treasur

Yeah, I am sure there is some strategy to rolling out such a big change. It limits a Day 1 blast of complaints and media posts when they slowly roll it out. Plus it lets them eliminate any issues (according to them hah) before it reaches th

Instagram's biggest failing in trying to copy Tiktok is their feed algorithm. Tiktok has nailed the delightful "stumble upon" effect of getting users of all ages to keep going to the next and the next video. I don't mind

What’s the carbon footprint of $100 bend subscription? It would be neat if carbon footprint could be translated to some more humanized unit. Like trees or global warming degrees or idk. Also, it seems like some products at companies would b

All of this should be hammered out in a set of guidelines around code review so that ego/feelings don't need to come into play. Have style guides, code review checklists, and best practices documented. The actual words used should

This is very cool. If you are as confused as I was at first... it is not a game. It is a blog displayed in a pixelated art/game style. Click into the Notebook and then the About tab.

I'd probably start by asking myself, what type of company do I want to work for? And what type of job do I want? Scroll job boards and see what is out there and what appeals. Then go buff up any skills you need to get a job at those co
