If price protection for something like this isn't negotiable it's a huge business risk, which would also be reckless to take on.

It is an reckless business practice to not have the monthly price locked down, with strong contractual protections. Sounds like Correnti didn't negotiate well and are now finding out.

It's funny, I see the opposite and I would only trust a senior engineer with conducting such a wide-reaching change. I would be more likely to hire a senior engineer who might now be able to effect such change.

Honestly a pretty nifty way to detect if it's installed. I'm sure this can power a lot of nice features, like linking directly into adobe products if they're installed.

I wonder if this will support directly interfacing with OpenAI's APIs vs. going through Cursor's APIs (and billing).

I still remember some of the Berkeley genetics lectures as some of the best learning materials I could find for my upper-level courses. Later I tried to refer to them and found they were all gone. I wish there was any other option vs. just

Meta, like many big tech companies, has some fantastic engineers, some lousy ones, and some in between. At this point I don’t pay too much attention to where someone worked previously, and try to get to know candidates individually. They’re

There's still a lot of benefit to seeing the prices up front vs. fees which are added on later. It can be a frustrating experience to realize that something you think is affordable is significantly more expensive once you make it to th

Hahaha, the anecdote about the subcontractor is great. What a thoughtfully designed space for your family and friends! I feel like going this custom is pretty rare, and you’re clearly getting the value out of it. I also love that you did th

I wonder if there are any good primers to these technologies. Maybe a DDIA-like book or some lectures?

It seems this article is trying argue in favor of deregulation of production of drugs, such that drug companies can more freely produce to fill demand. Is that necessarily a good solution with addictive substances like amphetamines? We saw

Wow, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is about to immediately be the most competitive medical school in the US. I wonder how this will affect the number of doctors graduating from the school and how many will go on to practice in NYC

What kind of tasks do you find yourself delegating to a virtual assistant? I’ve thought about it, but am unsure if I’d really find enough work to delegate.

Yes! Totally changed my career trajectory by getting my foot in the door at a tech-focused company. I owe a lot to the who is hiring thread :)

Oh, I’m so glad you brought up “How to with John Wilson”. I didn’t know there were new episodes and now I’ve got to watch these! I was floored by the first season, especially ending on Covid, so my hopes are high!

I once decided to wait for a Lyft driver who clearly wanted me to cancel. They eventually came and ferried me to my destination, but after the ride they claimed I damaged their car. I was charged like $100 by Lyft for the “damage”. It took

Easily my highest utility script so far was to get an edge while picking classes. At my university there were some classes which were very competitive and there was also system where tranches of students would get access to those classes ea

Oh, that's disappointing. I was wondering if anyone made a decent competitor to XCode after dipping my toes into some iOS development, and it looks like it's just being killed as I'm learning about it.

I was homeschooled and it was an isolating experience that set me back socially until I finally pleaded with my parents to let me go to public school. It took me a _while_ to catch up to my peers socially and it caused me a least a year of

My ID is one of the last reasons I need to carry a wallet around with me. It would be so freeing to just use a smart device to access identity restricted services (TSA, Liquor store, etc). Can’t wait for this to hit my state. I don’t love t

Frequently enough, I find I need to ignore the `engines` property, since so many packages work in newer versions of node, but claim incompatibility. It’s well intentioned, but not very useful.

Nifty calculator! I wish it was a bit easier to max out two 401ks (e.g. for a married couple). Otherwise, it's very slick and gives a similar result to my personal projections.
