Tangentially related, but have you thought about a go to market strategy related to AI? I started a new side project with Cursor to see how it goes, and it suggests a lot of packages for a lot of things (often not even suggests, assume you

I saw this early in a response to a patio11 tweet. Very weird. The grok response about South Africa is not there anymore This would be it: https://x.com/hellscapet/status/1922691009105813607?s=46&t=t...

I would blame 90% of your lack of bites at your horrible mobile UI. Mobile UX is important for everyone. For content creators, your target market, is crucial. If you postponed it for any other feature, you underestimated it. For what is wor

Good example. I paid for Cursor for my job (with company credit card) without even knowing that Aider, Windsurf, Supermaven, cline and roo existed. Actually, except for Windsurf, I only learned about the others from your comment.

I always thought that how far things are in the universe and the impossibility of faster than light travel were enough to explain why life might be abundant in the universe yet we never observed it.

Do you think early startup product might be an exception? Since whole features can be quickly ditched frequentl. Sometimes even complete product pivot.

I think it has some potential, but I found today’s puzzle just too easy. I never play for speed, but even if I was, playing on a iPhone, it missed a lot of touches that I only noticed when I was typing a few letters ahead. So I had to come

Yep, and what if good things only exist because they were created by and for those who can tell good from great.

I wonder if really great stuff are always for a minority. You have to have listened a lot of classical music to notice a great interpretation of Mozart from a good one. To realize how great was a chess move, how magical was a soccer play, h

Nice read. Although I much prefer the first solution, the hotfix of adding extra padding to the bottom. UX-wise, not just because it is simpler. On large screens I prefer to not read texts at the bottom (I always scroll things enough so I a

All startups that I worked paid very decently, just not FAANG level. This no-in-between you describe is for founder only, I believe.

Your premise that it is a hard task (that I agree with) doesn’t lead to the conclusion that stopping doing how it is done now will be harmful to the company. It just might be the opposite. Also, the GP seems to wonder about better ways to d

In Brazil, it seems to offer, but it amounts to a very good compensation, not a retirement-in-10-years compensation. Levels.fyi puts the total compensation of a L5 at ~$140k/year https://www.levels.fyi/companies/go
