They're selling shovels and pickaxes during a gold rush.

Also, unless you have a very specific niche, creating the product is no longer an issue, finding clients who are willing to pay is. I built a small saas overnight and I got clients purely because I had one, in my family, with enough reach to bring few more. If I just built this product, even if I kept cold-calling small businesses, I would most likely not get a single real user.

Do you remember all those people in your Uni that barely squeezed through each semester, cheated and lied their way through, without actually learning anything? You wouldn't want to work with them. Now imagine the same thing happens among healthcare professionals. There was a time when I realized that most people in the world are quite bad at what they're doing, I stopped trusting random doctors then, I try to verify everything myself or get another opinion. As an owner of a fairly health-problematic dog, veterinarians are the worst offenders for me, most people can't tell if something is helping or not, because obviously, the animal won't tell you outright, so they get too much leeway with random drugs and procedures, in worst case pet gets put down and they just shrug "we tried". I pointed out to multiple vets that certain barely-tested drug that they administered caused side effects, wouldn't believe me for the world until I literally pointed out scientific papers proving my point.

I tried Zen in the past, I actually didn't like it. Had quite a bit of bugs, some settings even had typos, some missing things, literally crashed every now and then on MacOs. Might give it a go someday again, I'm trying out Helium for now out of curiosity and I'm liking it so far

I feel like most of their problems come from downvoting, not mods though. It's just not possible to have a real discussion on reddit anymore, because anything that is not the mainstream opinion just gets insta downvoted. People will literally downvote anything they don't agree with, and seem to be more likely to do that if they see the comment has a negative score already. If they allowed subreddits to turn off downvoting, and have HN-like system where every new comment lands on top for a while to give everyone a chance, that whole place would be much more healthy.

Also been using Brave for a while. All the crypto stuff needs to be turned off but besides that for me, it's just better Chrome. Firefox always felt slower to me, Safari is just a weird kid from the neighborhood I could never get to like. I LOVED Arc. I think its a near perfect browser, but lack of proper mobile browser and Browser Company dropping Arc in favor of the new rebranded Arc with AI just left me with distrust. Brave just works, I can use it on all my devices, OSes, I can have uBlock Origin on it and vertical tabs. I don't really need anything else at this point.

It does, unless you just 'don't mention it'. There are ways to build UX where user has to visit the website one way or another, where he can pay/upgrade. I'm doing similar thing right now, where app is meant for existing users, already registered on my paid service. I got through Apple/Google simply by removing all mentions of payments in the app. App openly says at the start screen it's meant for existing users, where you can go to make the account and that's it, no signup in the app itself, no payments. It just depends heavily on the type of app you're building I guess

They push the user to their website where subscriptions are.

Doesn't 'do not do' list in form of a 100 page pamphlet avoid this? I knew that US notoriously has warnings on everything simple like 'Hot cup might burn' but I assumed that's always to avoid liability, can't the same be applied here?

I landed in a web3 Node, Typescript startup so... Not great. But it allowed me to see an entirely different world so I can't complain.

He didn't say you can't use Linux or MacOS, he said there's still a culture of being Windows and Microsoft only across .NET shops. As an ex .NET dev I can confirm, the community is quite close minded, language is awesome.

I also had that issue happen to me, surprisingly only when I used Polish, not English. But other than that I actually like Gemini, I check stuff against it all the time, especially when walking my dog. It also works in AndroidAuto for me, but I use very basic stuff like changing Spotify music. I was on iOS before and there's no comparison to old Siri that was just garbage. I use Gemini practically every day, it's fine for the most part IMO. They really do need to polish integrations though, app connectors barely every work outside of Google's own apps. Using Oppo's app Mind Place through Gemini f.e. is just bad experience and almost never works. For example, I had pleasant experience of Gemini finding me places for a walk/hike on vacation in Tirol, where I specifically required not too much of an ascent and an asphalt road for a stroller.

We use CC with Fable(Opus before that) continuously on a rather large project, everything is tested, we maintain high verified test coverage, we ship features x10 faster than when we started(pre Claude-everything era 2-3 years ago). I never worked with RN before and I ship features now. LLMs allowed us to find issues within RN itself, that thanks to some patches, improved lower end Android experience by a lot. We just use all the Claude defaults with claude.md that evolved over last year.

Why is it frustrating? I use it on MacOS every day, it's quite fine for me.

I was mainly .NET dev in the first 8 years of my career and it's a pretty common thing among .NET shops/corporates. Most .NET devs I worked with seemed to be on average older guys who are stuck in .NET Framework 3.x days. I joined a place that used .NET 5 and one guy was still writing hash code and equal methods for every single data class he made(by hand too). When I asked him why, he said that he didn't know he doesn't have to do that anymore. Those people are mostly alright/mediocre devs who just refuse to keep up with the times, clock in, clock out, don't think too much, just write some more code to make it work. If someone a decade ago started some convoluted architectural pattern, they'll just continue doing it, no thought given as to why or what for, whether things can be done better. While I have different, but equally annoying issues with Node/Js world I work in now, I don't miss those .NET days.

AliExpress is full of fakes and weird things but what it has going for itself is customer support. They'll return you money pretty much in every single case. They're so pro-consumer you could easily scam sellers out of things you buy really. I disputed multiple things in last 5-8 years and I've always either got a new item or a full refund. I don't order that much from there but if I want to buy something cheap I know is made in China anyway, I'd go for Aliexpress

Oppo doesn't have that issue in EU and ships 7500mah just fine though. Some also split batteries into two just to accommodate this.

Same, quite often it will literally forget the thing from last message it sent me. I'd ask about car shops around me, it shows me a bunch of spots from Google Maps, cool. Then I ask 'what are their reviews' and I get hit with 'Reviews of what?'. It's still better in Android Auto than Siri is in Car Play, by a mile but random experiences in the app are very meh.

> DON'T BOIL THE WATER. Water that is hot, but well below boiling brings out the flavor of the beans a million times more than boiling water.

That actually depends on the coffee. Pouring 99C+ water onto light roasted coffee is perfectly fine in most cases and will actually extract more.

Weren't there RedwoodJs, BlitzJs and few others that did that already?

They said the same about low code and no code when they appeared. That didn't happen. And it won't happen now too. Sales people, managers etc don't want to dabble in technical things and do not want the responsibility.

No idea but we have few Team Premium seats and everyone is encountering issues daily for past two weeks. From straight up outages to vscode extension/CLI refusing to process messages. It's been unusable for most of our work hours past two days.

Great that there's a new model but they could fix their existing infra. We're considering dropping our Claude Team sub cause it's unusable recently. Constant bugs, dropped sessions, issues switching models, http errors. It's becoming ridiculous

While I also dislike LinkedIn a lot, I unsubscribed once in the past and I haven't received a single email like that in years.

Youtrack was made long before Kotlin so I suspect the rewrite just wasn't worth it

Absolutely everyone who doesn't work with hardware, or on specific problems, because it's far more popular, easy to hire for, easy to deliver an MVP with and easy to have people jump between frontend and backend with. I'm saying this as someone who specialized in .NET before and now writes Node/TS. I simply grew out of the opinion that language/architecture is everything. When you make a product delivering quicker matters more than choosing a marginally more performant language, unless you're solving a very specific problem that requires that performance. Adding one more server costs less than hiring engineer for a more niche language and if you have the success that requires you to scale up that much, money is probably not the problem anymore. Granted we're in LLM era where everyone can write anything but it's still better to have people vibe in language they actually know, so they understand what's happening. You can always extract services later on and rewrite them in a more performant way, noone's stopping you.

I personally like Codex much more as vscode integration. It's actually nice to use, looks great, handles images much, much better, can even send me images in the chat to see what it's doing(my side project is based heavily on image processing), and what's most important to me is that /steer actually works. When I type something to Claude mid-task, it'll maybe acknowledge that within next few minutes, although it seems to be actually quicker last few days but still takes a minute or two, whereas Codex will almost instantly read it, switch what it's doing or answer me. It feels much more polished in some ways(though usage page in settings almost never loads for me).

I disagree. I needed a small text to json model that would parse basic info into a json, nothing else. I instantly knew to start with nano and if not good enough, use mini. This was obvious to me, just looking at the name. Now you have to actually know what those names mean. And I can guarantee you they'll add 5 more to create more hype, or make new names in whatever the next-gen-world-breaking-dangerous-model will be.

Nothing. It had marginal gains. People just romanticize it cause it's gone.

I have the same feeling. I'm even trying to argument to myself upgrading my phone to something newer that would support AI better but I genuinely can't. The only use case I could ever need is maybe(!) using it to fill up shopping list out loud but at this point it, using shared Google Keep it's roughly the same amount of work to just type it. In professional matter though, having an AI agent on Slack, that can query readonly dbs for us, check things, debug problems reported by our users, it's pretty great.

Website catalogues exist for more than a decade. They were one of the first attempts at gaming SEO.
