TS makes it super easy to use a VPC I have in the US as my VPN exit while I live in other parts of the world. Apps that work on phones, computers, and my AppleTV are big pluses over Wireguard which I have also used.

I’m with you, I just turn on Bloomberg and leave it there. When I travel for work, I work all day (some client meetings ant night) and either work out at night or in the morning depending on time zone. Then I enjoy just walking around the c

Yeah. It’s hard for me to get worked up about ads in a store.

You're describing policy. Trump is literally running crypto scams from the White House.

Part of being CEO/running a business is considering all options, but it doesn't mean it will ever move beyond the ROI/risk phase. Ever read one of the risk assessments in a companies public filings? It's the same thing.

The problem with your argument is there are dictators all over the world the US ignores. If anti-dictator is enough, why the tepid response for Ukraine? What about the various African nations? What about Haiti and the violence there? The di

Possibly. Until recently, anyone who was in tech wanted to move to the US because there was simply more opportunity. Salaries are higher, chances of making it big are higher, failing is often seen as a positive in the US, etc... The adage t

I think it’s also related to bike shedding. No one wants to do the hard work of understanding the nuance of ethics and timing, and it’s easier to argue about this single event must equal evil. See also how the left in American politics is k

> There is also a whole strain of thought in SaaS which says don't ever have a free version because those guys always end up being the biggest complainers. Not just free, but also cheap. I have found the less someone pays the higher

I mostly agree. What it does do is raise the bar for a viable SaaS, and seeing some examples elsewhere in this thread, that’s a good thing. I’d also add a number of the vibe tools tech adjacent people on my team have made are used and liked

How is teamretro a product to begin with? I feel like these SaaS’s exploded like js libraries.

I do almost your method, except I do the presentation a few times as practice to make sure the flow works. When I give the presentation it's not scripted, but since I practiced it is much easier for me to improv. My slides are typicall

I have similar questions. At the scale Apple operates I'm sure mistakes are made all the time, but often it feels like there is something missing when these types of stories pop up. I have had support from Apple before and they went ou

Yeah, when you think about how many people are in the water they are incredibly rare. I grew up surfing and never thought much about sharks. I knew they were out there, but the drive to the beach was much more dangerous.

I’ll never stop working for some definition of work. I will stop doing the things I don’t want to do.

Part of the issue is Americans get huge drinks to go. Italy seems to have espresso available on every corner so people just stop when they want one. I love living in Italy and being part of the local cafe ritual. It’s one of the things that

I always check git blame before ripping on some code I find...9/10 times I wrote it :o

> Quality really doesn't matter. It does matter, but it's one requirement among many. Engineers think quality metrics as you listed are the most important requirements, but that's not typically true.

I have tech adjacent people on my team vibing out internal tools that are super useful, and take a load off of engineering. Most internal software is rehashing existing software with different/specific requirements.

Yes, but it could have been as simple that the UIs should look like they come from the same company - and that is the correct path IMO. At that point, it's the Chief Design/Product person's responsibility to execute on that o

It has nothing to do with age gating, and everything to do with tracking. While there may be some funding going on behind the scenes, governments love tracking on its own merits.

Which can be solved with insider trading enforcement of political figures and their associates. This SEC already does this to 'normal' people.

My code has tests and the LLM wrote more tests. I tell the LLM to include typing on any new code. The agent is running the test harness and checking results.

Are you saying that Google, Meta, Amazon, etc... can't do software? It's the bread and butter of these companies. The CUDA moat is important to hold off the likes of AMD, but hardware like TPUs for internal use or other big softwa

Yep. And there's a lot of people making use of LLMs in both coding and learning/searching doing exactly that. One of my favorite things is describing a bug to an LLM and asking it to find possible causes. It's helped track so

When I've use agents with TS, failing tests due to typing seems to help the agent get to the correct solution. Maybe it's not required though.
