Basically Uber support these days. Except theirs uses an LLM which gives you an even more useless layer of pretending to help.

What you're describing is customer success, which is almost always post-sales. Engineers working with customers post-sales is a great idea. *Pre*-sales is where it gets tricky.

you're not wrong, but i don't think forcing engineers to take sales calls is the right move either. there's lots of soft skills involved in running a successful call that engineers aren't trained or even interviewed on.

Very risky strategy with engineers that don't have good "customer presence" depending on the kind of sales calls they "ran." This is something I would expect product managers to do. I would say that this is more of

I think writing a little bit everyday is much more productive and introspective than writing endlessly for a 48 hour solo retreat (the retreat part is not a bad idea!) Maintaining a journal that I write into daily is one of the best things

I love my 13 mini but its battery is just too anemic. Slapping a MagSafe battery on it defeats the purpose of having a small phone. My 16 Pro lasts me all day, but I absolutely hate using it, as I don't do very much with my phone in th

That is a fund that is providing emergency funds to stations that will close as a result of CPB shutting down. It is headed by the former SVP of CPB.

NPR and PBS are not the only beneficieries from CPB funding. In fact, CPB funding only accounts for about 1% of NPR's revenue. NPR is definitely biased but will be fine. Who won't be fine, however, are the thousands of radio and p

I was bored on a flight with crap Internet and, like everyone else on that flight, entertained myself by reading random manpages on my Mac. I think I read the one for finger, and I think it's still from BSD4.4, as its last updated date

> Also, um, if there is a bubble, what does that mean for the valuations of NVidia and OpenAI? That there are going to be loads of bag holders and layoffs, but the people that got us into this whole thing will probably be fine.

Indeed. I dont use social media, so grain of salt and all that, but social media feels more like endless amateur TV shared socially.

Good thread. I wish he touched on COVID's impact to the athleisure and its role in popularizing technical fabrics. Athleisure is all the way in these days mostly thanks to WFH. As for heat/cold: wool is unbeatable for hot formal w

Android is no panacea either. There are no Android tablets that are anywhere close to achieving parity with the iPad. I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ with the Book Cover (the one with the track pad) and the Smart Folio (the one without a tr

Skimfeed, my entry point into HN, still indexes /. threads, so I still check it out from time to time. Definitely not what it was in the cmdrtaco days, but it has gems in there sometimes still.

Analogizing AI to power tools is like analogizing building an IKEA bookshelf to outsourcing the job to a TaskRabbit. Power tools automate manual hand movements, but you still need to follow the manual and know what fits where. Or you can sp
