I mainly use Cursor:* Big fan of the Plan, Debug and Review* Often use parallel agents for ideation and getting multiple perspectives* Should probably use sub agents* Models: Opus 4.6 Max for the most important tasks, Sonnet 4.6 or Gemini 3.1 Pro for the rest.* Great MCPs: Sentry, Chrome DevTools, Context7, DeepWiki, ExaWould love to hear if I'm missing some great opportunities.

We’re a pretty resource intense (compute + LLMs) GenAI startup and are just about to run out of AWS credits. Our infra is defined and deployed using Terraform so switching cloud provider shouldn't be a huge task.I’m thinking of hiring a great infra consultant who I know well (so we can continue focusing on our product) to migrate us from AWS to GCP. We clearly assume the costs in terms of...

Wow, thanks a LOT for that comprehensive answer! Very helpful!
Two questions I didn’t manage to find answers to:
* Do you have or plan support for webhooks? The scenario for us is that we’d ideally have one platform for setting up customer integrations for which we will make requests to and await request from
* When you host, do you expose the access and refresh tokens for the connected integrations? The use cases for us are:
* If we wanna make a feature / request that seems out of scope for Metorial
* If we wanna migrate from Metorial, we don’t want to force our customers to have to reconnect
* I love that we can bring our own OAuth apps which would be the default for us. But to try out an integration out or for (from our perspective) low prio integrations we’d still like to offer - do you offer your own OAuth apps that we can piggy back on. Just to save the customer from the effort of having to set up an OAuth apps foe each service. I know it comes with a lock in, but it’s worth it in some cases for us.
You’ve made me very excited to try you out, so I’ll implement support for both Composio and Metorial.
Thanks again for taking the time and efforts to answer so thoroughly!
Sent a connection request to you on LinkedIn.
We’ve just begun implementing Composio. Would love to reconsider if you help clarifying the main differences. From my perspective it looks like you have more robustness features to me as a developer and you’re fully open source (not just the client) whereas Composio has more integrations. But would love your input to clarify.
Congrats on the launch!
Love the idea, how you present it here and in the product. Clear, trustworthy and calming. Just installed and looking forward to try out. Half-random question: how has your way to the current UI / UX (visually and copy)?
What’s your guess on when Claude 4 will be available on AWS Bedrock?
Nope, that’s PearAI, a fork of Continue and vscode and its ChatGPT generated license Pear Enterprise License
Thanks for sharing! Do you have any component library you’ve felt productive using?
Thanks for sharing! I haven’t checked out MUI before. Will check it out.
Yeah, it’s been a good choice before. Have you used any component library that’s increased your productivity significantly?
Any component library you’ve gotten a good workflow with?

Hey!We’ve enjoyed building products from scratch for a good amount of time now and, in terms of web frontend, we’ve gone through the classical path from no-framework -> angular 1 -> react -> svelte with a bunch of component libraries (most recently Tailwind UI)For max iteration speed; what frontend stack would you pick today to build an MVP which later can be iterated quickly on while...
Love the design and your way of communicating!! You just made me a fan of you and your product.
My personal flow to love your product was:
1. I was intrigued to click this HN due to an initial feeling of the product must be more interesting than the HN title due to all the attention, so let’s check it out.
2. Once on the site I was feeling “finally someone who dares not having consensus driven design”.
So please keep on daring!!
3. I thought “I know people who would love this design”.
4. Being a person often being asked to build friends’ sites and way to often having to say no due to: the time it takes, the inflexibility and the price for running with your own domain being annoyingly high for a small business, I started looking for answers on your landing page. You seem to be offering just that! As a dev I can do things quick, that look good and don’t cost a lot.
5. I started reading the this HN thread and was amazed by how genuine and down to earth you seem.
All in all you just got a big fan in me. I’ll try out the prodigy, have patience with its imperfections and if you keep on communicating with the people signing up in a similar fashion to this HN thread, I think you’ll have a big amount to fans eager to push you and your product forward.
I’m assuming many will consider buying an iPhone 15 pro or the next one. I’m really not a trader, but thought this + the stronger ecosystem lock-in effect would bump the share significantly.
To use Apple Intelligence on mobile you’ll need iPhone 15 pro or later which I (not a trader) thought would make investors happy.
Spotify just launched "Confidence," a tool designed to optimize real-time trigger analysis (aka exposure filtering) and experimentation. By leveraging Bayesian statistics and sequential testing, it provides immediate insights into the impact of changes, improving decision-making and efficiency. The product aims to streamline the experimentation process, ensuring faster and more accurate data-driven decisions.

Can someone explain why the AAPL share drops 1% during the event. Did the market expect more? If so, what?
They use OpenAI as an optional fallback model. Adding support for more models later. I’m positively surprised they’re not trying to solve everything with their own tech.

PMs have a lot of tasks, but very little automation tooling. Which tasks / jobs do you think an AI co-pilot should do for a PM?
Great job! Really think there’s a need for this.
Most artist have a pretty similar looking site map:
- Portfolio - by you Spotify integration. You could let the artist promote / highlight certain songs or albums.
- Live gigs - Could be done through a bandcamp or similar integration.
- Contact - Could be just a simple email or in the pro plan you could have a proxy email which is [username]@noise.site
Completely agree. I know a few artists and that conversation applies to most of them.
Great job! Fun and innovative!
Thanks for sharing! I agree. What structure / process would you prefer to evaluate developer’s performance qualitatively?

In an ideal world every developer’s performance would be fairly measured in a quantifiable way. But are there any quantifiable metrics that actually correlate with actual value?What metrics do you look at when adjusting salaries, comparing teams and developers?
