Not sure what polish you're looking for but it's been great for me. Smart autocomplete algorithm and good chatbot that acts like a personalized Google / stack overflow. It's not good enough to vibe code full products or

The wealthy do use public schools. They pay huge amounts to live in upper class neighborhoods with wealthy peers, where a lot of tax money goes into the schooling system so the kids can take all sorts of extracurriculars and AP classes. It

It's not at a point yet where I can recommend it to non-technical people but it's getting close. I can play almost any steam game that I can find on it, but usually need to manually enable proton-experimental. Some Unity games hav

Anecdotally, a friend of mine works for a state department of transportation and has been trying to get a developer and a DBA to replace some people who've recently left. He's been having an insanely hard time finding anyone for t

Not yet but there's a precedent for incredibly perverse incentives caused by sports gambling -- most iconically the White Sox throwing the world series in 1919. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sox_Scandal

Looking at that smalltowntruth website reminds me of someone I met in 2015. I stayed at a guy's airbnb in Denver. He was in breach of his renting agreement by hosting the airbnb and had previously spent about a year in jail (forget for

Cool! Didn't know about the pen, though I've seen clips of similar tech being used. I've got a long ways to go with this app though so it's still just a pet project. The position tracking is very suboptimal right now, so

I've been learning how to use Blender. For a long time I've thought that working with things in 3D could be made simpler by having an app where your phone is a sort of 3D cursor, and e.g. for modeling you could use your phone as a

The best rejection letter I ever got was a personal note from the person hiring, saying "You were good, but we just needed someone who is stronger with [x], [y], and [z]". It felt actionable because it told me things I could impro
