So... it's like a golfer who hits thousands of balls into an open field without ever once aiming for a hole. The relentless repetition flawlessly locks in their foundational muscle memory and basic swing mechanics, so when they finally

I built this partly because i wanted a cleaner side-by-side comparison of the big “2026 outlook” reports (banks + asset managers), and partly as an experiment in whether codex / claude code / cursor together can be pushed to handl

Thanks! I agree - it is surprising how many are looking at doing in house. I think what they miss (and I say this as someone who spent the early part of his career outside of tech) is an understanding of what goes into maintaining software

Thank you! Quite honestly, this is exactly what I am currently doing - identified a market with probably $50mm global TAM. Bootstrapping with first design partners currently. One thing I didn't mention is that there are often a few sle

I agree about boutique software, but see the development still being external - To attempt to summarize the debate, there seems to be three prevailing schools of thought: 1. Status Quo + AI. SaaS companies will adopt AI and not lose share.

Strava is the closest thing to effective social media that I use, because it is 'slow'. You create 'content' by doing something orthogonal. You pay for access vs selling attention for ads. You only look at Strava when yo

This may have been a contributing factor, but the reason the American frigates were successful in the War of 1812 was because they were significantly larger and more powerful ships, with more powerful cannons. They had material advantages i

Openai search mode is $30-50 per 1000 depending on low-high context Gemini is $30/1000 So Anthropic is actually the cheapest. For context, exa is $5 / 1000.

Given Sam recently said he thinks consumer is going to be the valuable path , perhaps it is not too much to pay for a great ux/product team "Ben Thompson: What’s going to be more valuable in five years? A 1-billion daily active u

It is a talent and a distribution play. Talent: obvious. Distribution: OpenAI believes the marginal token they sell will be accretive to their bottom line, so the goal then is to deliver as many tokens as possible. Windsurf already has 1k+

It makes sense for OpenAI to overpay for wrapper companies that have distribution - a good analogy is British pub (bar) companies. By mid 2000s they were struggling. Low margins, rising cost base, expensive debt. What saved them? Heineken.

Juice not worth the squeeze I imagine. 4.5 is chonky, and having to reserve GPU space for it must not have been worth it. Makes sense to me - I hadn't founding anything it was so much better at that it was worth the incremental cost o

This would be the dream job for a gunners fan. After a decade of making seven figures at Meta/Google etc., they won't even look at the salary.

+1 for googlesheets. It is stable, and provided you don't exceed the API limits, you can run a lot of data through it. Appscript is also incredibly powerful if you work with tools that have decent APIs. With a few lines of js and the

Also not OP but adding my 2c. I tried many python frameworks but the lack of customizations and observability limited the utility. Now, I only use Instructor (Jason Liu's library). That, and concurrent futures for parallel processing.
