Now spend 1.2x their salary on AI and they become 99999x productive. So why not just go further if we're making up numbers?

Even for highly interactive projects, Astro is still my favorite build system. Just toss the SPA component into the single Astro file and you're done.
We use public comment to _promote_ building housing here in Longmont, CO. Perhaps it's a skill issue.

Running two apps next to each other isn't practical on a normal sized phone. That's why the Duo folds out into a larger screen.
6k 60p video in this form factor is extremely solid, though there's no IBIS.

Yeah, and what happens every time we take a Republican at his word?
Even if you block the user-agent, the traffic returns under a fake browser user-agent. No way to keep the bad ones out.

Sunny's response to Tyler's email, the one full of sincere concern for the well-being of the company:

Tyler.

We saw your email to Elizabeth.

Before I get into specifics, let me share with you that had this email come from anyone else in the company, I would have already held them accountable for the arrogant and patronizing tone and reckless comments. In your case, I am giving you the benefit of doubt that your intentions are in the right place, and am taking the time to respond, even though your tone in this email all the way through the last paragraph is not that of someone seeking to understand, but rather someone standing at higher perch of morality and business wisdom. Perhaps this too was not your intent but this clearly comes across as your mind set.

See my comments in red below.

what the fuck? Weird behavior. Leave people alone.

Re:Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @04:09PM (#49983373)
You're a user, not the owner of the Node ecosystem.
Did you do your best? I think you can do better.
Reads like AI slop.
