For the B2C side, my gut is telling me that Anthropic couldn't care less about that market, at least for now, with their bot product.
Models are becoming increasingly interchangeable but setting up and maintaining (!!) the ecosystem still takes expertise. Not everyone wants to host their own MicroVM infra and would happily pay Anthropic/Grok/OpenAI to do it for them.
If we're trying to measure the value of adopting tool, it's probably better to measure the ROI of that tool rather than the usage % of that tool, especially when usage is basically mandated.
To directly answer your questions:
1. You're being paid to create value for the business, which "doing what they think is productive" is a proxy for. You're not being paid to use a tool a high % of the time.
2. I doesn't seem like parent even commented on the quality of the code generated. I think anyone that uses it regularly can agree that: a) the code is not useless and b) all generated code is not immediately production ready c ) AI generation of code is an accelerant for software development
Be advised it's not instant.

1. Maximum number of trips
2. Minimum cost for trips (cheap or free travel)
3. Free or discounted luxury travel (business class, luxury hotels, etc)
4. Maximum cash back (to the point of being a full time job)
5. Maximizing elite status (for business travel, etc)
6. Short term, saving up for one or two big bangs (honeymoon, bucket list item, etc)
7. Any combination of above and more.
On the other hand, I have some friends who do not want to bother due to the stress and overhead involved (finances can be difficult). For those types, I usually recommend foregoing the CC game and putting everything on a no annual fee 2% card.
General tips:
- Never carry a balance, ever. If you do, forget about playing this game because it'll cost you more than you gain. Pay off your CC debt first.
- There are many blogs/sites that push "their" link over ones that pay more to the user because they get paid a hefty affiliate fee. Be wary.
- Have a goal in mind before you accrue points so you can be more strategic about accruing. I recommend starting with a list of all the trips you'd like to take in the next two years and using that to frame what points you will need to accrue. Don't forget hotels as the cost of hotels can easily outweigh the cost of flights.
- Figure out how much work you want to put in. There are levels to the game-the deeper you go, the more work it will be. It will also get that much more rewarding
- Prioritize transferable currencies (UR, MR, Cap1, TYP, etc) because devaluations happen often and transferrable currencies help insulate a bit.
- Try to get your partner on board if at all possible, having a second (third, fourth, etc...) player (P2-P100+) is a scaling super power
- Keep in mind the "burning" side of the equation and use them often. Points and miles are worthless bits of made up paper dressed up as currency and subject to the whims of corporations that don't have your best interests in mind. Treat them as such.
1. Read above, create a strategy and an ordered list of cards
2. Sign up for the credit cards and put all your organic spend on those credit cards to meet spend.
3. Repeat 1 & 2 after meeting spend and gaining sign up bonus
4. If you have another player available, switch between players every time you meet the spend and get the bonus to lower your velocity and appear "safer"
5. You might also want to get a (minimum) 2% everywhere card for everything you can't put on the new cards.
For a couple using this strategy, you'll be averaging ~2 new CC's per person per year (which is very safe) and earning ~7-10ish percent back on most spend. After a year or so of doing this, you should have enough for a vacation or two.
- I've been in the points game for a long time so I may not be your target customer. Take feedback with a grain of salt, I guess.
- Commissions & Trust: You should disclose (more clearly?) that you're getting commissions from the CC signups and, ideally, that those may not be the best offers available. (ex as of this comment, referrals are paying 90K to sign up whereas your link is at 60K-an almost $300 difference). I understand this is a huge revenue driver, but that's not an excuse for shilling affiliate links where the user loses out on real, actual money.
- Last Refresh: Would be nice to know when the last refresh was. I've clicked a few times for available seats and found that the airline did not actually have the flights available. As a user, this erodes trust in your results.
- Slider: Points min/max slider interface isn't great but honestly I can't think of an alternative. 1 AA point is not the same as 1 Asiana point.
- Program coverage: Your tool coverage seems similar to the other cached searching tools (Seats.aero, award logic, etc) but, honestly, needs improvement. Most airlines are quickly moving towards releasing more inventory to their own members, so coverage is much more important now than it was two years ago. As an example, Singapore Air very rarely releases ex-US business class awards to partners but releases them much more reliably to their own members.
- Alerts: I understand this is part of "SkyView" but you should make it more prominent and clearly marketed. Alerts are *super duper useful* and give your product direct, permissioned access to a user's email and/or SMS that they actually want! This is what differentiates you from Point.me and the airline searches and also what gave ExpertFlyer its edge for so long. My guess is making it more prominent will drive more subscribers.Ikea’s boss solved the Swedish retailer’s global ‘unhappy worker’ crisis by raising salaries, introducing flexible working and subsidizing childcare
Cutting it off there just makes it seem like ikea thinks "more money = happy workers" when in reality it is more nuanced than that.
Early on revenue will increase but, after some time, HP will wake up to a dwindling customer base and alternatives eating their lunch. No doubt that those same MBA's will have already been promoted and/or left, whilst touting their "wins".
My main contenders ended up being:
- Glove80
- Advantage360
- ZSA Moonlander
- ZSA Ergodox
- Various alice layout KB's (not full split. ex: Keychron K15)
- Custom building some sort of sofle or dactyl - ZSA recently came out with the voyager which looks essentially like a wired 65% sofle.
Seems like it would result in a better experience (color) with much less work and about the same price point.
Yes, I know it was a field of interest and research long before Google invested, but the fact remains that they _did_ invest deeply in it very early on for a very long time before we got to this point.
Their continued investment has helped push the industry forward, for better or worse. In light of this context, I'm ok with them taking a small victory lap and saying "we've been here, I told you it was important".
Ironically, legacy .NET toolchains like Web Forms and Web Parts can be very productive and very easy to maintain, if designed well. Most of the pain comes from the MS vendor lock-in and lack of continuing support. Microsoft has moved on from these technologies so they are no longer well supported and don't have a very defined upgrade path to more "modern" approaches.
However, I don't envy the developers that need to keep this ASP.NET web parts site up to date.

Title:
We compete with GitHub. Bing does not show our website
Now, is it really because we compete with Github? Honestly, probably not, but controversy drums up interest and we need interest so that someone out there on the Internet can tell us what we're doing wrong. [...] we only care about getting as many software engineers to experience the power of generative AI for software development via our free product.Layoffs suck-they hurt everyone involved (except maybe for the shareholders?) and are a big big deal for each individual that it affects.
That being said, it doesn't take a genius to see that they are very useful from a company perspective. Given how difficult it is to fire underperformers, layoffs allow them to cut a huge swathe of underperformers (and, realistically, people they don't like) without opening themselves up to endless litigation. Yes, the justification can be as simple as "the economy looks like there is an economic downturn and see? the other companies in our industry are doing it too."
Smart companies treat it as a tool and use it sparingly, dumb companies over use it and kneecap themselves for the future.

The current native feature set is somewhat lacking so you're definitely going to want to augment with some sort of helper framework/library. Building any significantly sized project purely native with vanillaJS would be challenging.
There are also some unique hurdles with this type of project that our org had to work through-mainly on the integration and design side of it.
Layoff suck all around. Period. No business can forecast and execute perfectly and no amount of handholding and (realistic!) compensation will make layoffs not suck. It's just reality.
It's well known that Xerox PARC was a hotbed of discovery and innovation that invented revolutionary technologies like laser printing, OOP, ethernet, GUI computing, etc. Is there a current equivalent anywhere in the world?
