Counterpoint being that Slack, for example, for all its faults, does not have ads in its chats. If Anthropic is positioned as "thing for professionals to do professional work" then I think you just avoid this issue entirely. Fee f

YC companies are constantly spending the money they get from YC right? Why get money, then put it in some stablecoin, only to then immediately cash out on salaries or whatever? How does that make any sense to the company? Who's out her

For me it's mostly about doing as much of CI locally as feels reasonable to do quickly to save an iteration cycle. But I live in a world of badly configured text editors and the like so I usually have some silly formatting error

django-seal offers optionality on this front. You can choose to use Django's default behavior or opt into sealing for when you're working on code where you _really_ want to avoid N+1's
