dhh spent 3 years moving from AWS to bare mental to save $2M and in the process completely missed the AI wave. Opportunity cost is real.

Claude AI is your technical co-founder.
MelissaData has quite a hefty API set up and minimum commit - how did you get them to give you API access to the direct mail leadgen API?
How are you able to get all addresses within a polygon?
It's really simple, this is VC pyramid scheme at play. Say you put $100M into a company at $1B valuation. A year later you put $250M at a $3.25B valuation. Your $350M is now valued at made up $580M. When the company later sells for just double, $7B, your $350M became $1.2B.

No because then they don't get paid. It wakes you up every few minutes with a reminder to pay
If Bret Taylor manages to weasel his way into this company... it will be the most brilliant staged coup in all of history.

They probably are looking for one legitimately. It appears they now use Scaleway dedicated bare metal servers

Looks like they moved to Scaleway bare metal

Re:WeWork Plans to File for Bankruptcy as Early as Next Week on Tuesday October 31, 2023 @05:59PM (#38092001)
Yikes. Sitting at a WeWork right now... Love it, I often have an entire floor jus to myself. Many locations are ghost towns, some have entire floors shut down.

Re:Front-end is harder than Back-end on Monday August 28, 2023 @05:28PM (#37300631)
We've resisted many trends and sticking with AngularJS 1.8 in our 8 figure ARR SaaS. Customers have no clue we are running AngularJS and even if they did, our SPA is as snappy today as it was in 2017 when we launched v1 of our SaaS so why would anyone care?

Backend is a python Falcon REST API and there too we resisted internally calls for moving to newer async frameworks, port some parts to Go, etc.

Re:Introducing ChatGPT Enterprise on Monday August 28, 2023 @02:19PM (#37298362)
That was quick. Companies offering APIs end up competing with their developer base that built end-user facing products. Another example is Twilio that offers retail-ready products now such as Studio, prebuilt Flex, etc.

Can PENN be sued? Clearly they could have sold this for more than $1. Did they fumble their fiduciary duty to shareholders?
Re:WeWork Warns of Possible Bankruptcy on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @01:51PM (#37066256)
Spent the last few months in NYC and also enjoyed the large variety of Weworks to pick from each day. But a common theme was how empty most of them were and devoid of rented offices. Some of them even shut down entire floors for the time being. Man I wish I would have shorted this stock, and I kept thinking about it each time I visited another ghost town Wework.
The LinkedIn icon takes you to facebook.com... not the most assuring. This whole operation seems sketchy at first glance, especially when considering this is a financial product.

Learn AI related topics and services because by the time you graduate it will likely replace what you're studying for.
AI will replace the mods.
Valid advice, take it. Especially the beard's gotta go. Clean up and be more presentable.
