There is a lot of demand still coming for sure but I think I'm more optimistic. Ready to eat my hat on this but - higher prices will result in huge demand destruction too. Currently we're bu…

I think I'm saying the opposite on point 3. He has no _obligation_ to us and has full rights to 'take away' as he sees fit, but we still have the right to give our opinion about that pr…

I'm not sure if it's a correct impression but my impression is still that AWS is the "devil you know" and Cloudflare is less predictable with more individual decision making from h…

He has no obligations to us as we did not pay him, but we also have the right to call out stuff we think is wrong as he didn't pay us
comment
Author here, I was actually surprised to learn this too. I reached for Ruby and Django as examples of non commerical frameworks and before writing this I didn't know about the $1M backing either.…
comment
I think that's a valid take, just one I disagree with in the article. I think a lot of it is average or bad, but a lot of it is good too. And some of it is good, but has the annoying tropes, so r…

if you read it, you'll see I say that a lot of AI generated output is good which is directly against the commercial interest you accuse me of having. yes, writing and engineering is my profession…

haha interesting idea, I wonder if anyone real is actually close to that
comment
I set it up and had some fun but it was super janky and regularly broke, especially the whatsapp integration Now I have a separate plugged in macbook running nixos (that claude set up) and a single lo…

it's not necessarily about people self hosting it, it's about people preferring to pay for hosted stuff that is open source (e.g. I pay for Plausible). Now it's a lot easier to rewrite …

I'd be curious to know how many numbers were burned/banned during the development of this library

I think a vast majority of the beef we eat is grainfed unless you're buying the super hip, small-scale, expensive stuff
comment
Yeah the Rails and Django models seem better to me too, but as far as I understand they do rely on effectively charity work from open source maintainers and from what I've read a lot of them are …
comment
yeah keeping it vague makes sense to protect the place if it's still online but the whole thing doesn't really make sense? The timelines mentioned are weird - he spoke to them before they bu…
comment
yeah it does sound kind of dodge that there's no option even for advanced users to bypass this, I would guess mainly a moat to protect Google Photos. I wonder if online photo competitors are find…
comment
It's a sad story and a fun-looking project but I think Google 100% did the right thing here. Most people have no idea how much information is included in photo metadata, and stripping it as much …

I mean the app itself, not really the landing page if that's what you're referring to?
comment
I started with a boilerplate but AI has been huge at letting me get what I want in terms of frontend building when I was never talented at design or css. I built https://bridge.ritza.co (d…

58 Minute reading time. I read the first dozen pages or so and I'm not sure what the goal of this thing is, why they wrote it, who they wrote it for? Is it aimed at European governments? Or compa…
comment
I had the same experience, now I just have a simple claude code session running with the new channel feature so it can take input and give output via a telegram bot. It's not as fun with SOUL.md …

It's also formed similarly to oil over millions of years underground if I understand correctly so can be a byproduct of natural gas mining.
comment
I really enjoyed this oddlots podcast episode that covered similar points and had a lot of "wat" moments for me, including the US selling off its strategic helium reserves at a loss because …
comment
Author here, yeah I think I changed my mind after reading all the comments here that this is related to the harness. The interesting interaction with the harness is that Claude effectively authorizes …

amazing example, I added it to the article, hope that's ok :)
