This is much better for me but I really want a plan that includes zero AI other than edit prediction and BYOK for the rest. But as a mostly claude max + zed user happy to see my costs go down.

You aren't wrong in the coaching but, but feedback loops are orders of magnitude faster. It takes an LLM 2-20 minutes to give me the next stage of output not 1-2 days (week?). As a result, I have higher context the entire time so my si

The problem with the CFAA is that it is so (IMO unconstitutionally) broad it is feasible that _every American_ has arguably violated it in some way, completely accidentally. Thus, every time we see a CFAA charge we have to ask ourselves: &q

If you've ever seen someone die slowly in hospice or in hospital having spent the last 5-10 years in misery, of a chronic diseases with cures beyond our ken, you question will be.... only 5%?

You are. There is no password in these new flows. They just ask for email or phone and send you a code. Bad website only needs to ask for an email. It logs into Good with a bot using that email. Good sends you the code. You put the code in
