The more & More I learned about her over the years, It felt like she just never seamed to give into the system and always found a way to keep give back to the world that corrupts so many.

Ironically (or maybe unironically?) I just started working with a friends company called fifteenlabs lol. Still pretty new.
Re:Oracle bans AI-generated code from OpenJDK on Friday August 07, 2026 @10:07PM (#49218287)
Banning Ai generated code is like telling people don’t look on stack overflow. I get the idea but it’s a blunt tool to that doesn’t solve the right problem.

Couple things for me: - I missed the default dashboard being my homepage and not having to navigate to it via an extra step. I just noticed that i can change that default, but personally found that a bit annoying largely because I felt lost.

Also i don't like how "People" is not buried in data now, pretty sure this was just in the left hand bar. I can "star" it, but its still nested in a wierd UI drawer. I wish it was pinned by default, or a way I could re-pin it.

A message of some kind (You may have already done this) to accept the new defaults or keep the some of the original defaults would of been cool.

On a broader note, I loved the simplicity of what you guys made, and it feels like the product has too many moving pieces available to me. I build my own product as well and I get the rub here, you want to support so many more use cases and re-organize things to do so , but in the end it feels bloated. I love the idea of using AI and in some cases when i needed to mine my data some it was super nice, though most of the time from a founder perspective I'm looking at largely the same data/metrics over and over, and don't need to be creating new graphs every day. So the launchpad /w chatbox as the primary thing as a default feels a bit lost on me.

All that said, I still looooove your product and would still use it 1100 times over GA any day. <3

Anyone actually using loops?

Loops are apparently the new hotness with AI but I'm curious to hear from folks on how their experience. Namely: - Whats your daily/monthly running costs? Is it cost prohibitive for a normie? - Do you self host or run externally? - What model do you typically use? - Any other big takeaways / gotchas?I do think loops are the logical next step, but just trying better understand them and figured...
