I think it's common sense that the title was chosen for marketing reasons, not as a factual description. (iirc He even talks about testing titles for the book in the book) I do believe there could be weeks where it's only 4 hours

I want to talk to an AI for customer support as the first line so long as there is always a "Talk to a human" escape hatch. And for less than about $50 a month, I understand why they need to spend less than half an hour per month

I've noticed a lot of the world has no idea how little they matter relative to the opportunity cost they impose. Like you see Karens complaining about their experience with something. They represent at most $100s of ARR. For a great en

You see things like this on planes. Some folks pay a lot, some pay a little. Once the flight's cost is paid for and it's absolutely going, then even $1 is additional profit.

Elevated prices incentivize investments in things like more units in redevelopments, and better transit (to make commuting less of a economic cost)

If that's true then NIMBYism is also collaboration to inflate property prices. Perhaps we should also be cracking down on the policies that restrict supply despite such obviously high, and rich, demand.

I prefer ndjson for systems I build. (with only json objects on the top level) It's much safer for a lot of edges. If there's significant repetition in the keys, they end up zipping well.
