I loved MUDs as a kid, and really do miss the sense of immersion and depth that came from joining a long established server and just exploring.

It was, but it’s a dry place so I should have made it a bit more obvious

I guess we should probably start looking for a new planet. Nothing else to be done I’m afraid.

Lucid product vision is kind of the bar for “good product management”, I agree that slopping on top of a lack of direction is just going to make things worse. The issue with PMs going off on tangents with AI is the lack of engineering know

Any product manager worth their salt should be in a coding interface--the line between Product and Engineering is blurring a lot more now, and to stay competitive PMs will need to reach a little further into the technicalities. Otherwise yo

Not trying to be critical, but there are a number of misspellings and grammatical issues and it was actually a breath of fresh air to be reminded while I was reading that a real human being wrote this. I feel a little inspired to turn off s

I don’t know that this is something specific to workplaces. I think anywhere you have a hierarchy and incentives you’ll see people perform to those incentives. But, I am not a behavioral psychologist, so maybe there is something special to

I wish we could get back to a “mom and pop” software market. Itch.io feels like it’s doing a lot of work for indie software that used to just be everywhere and easy to stumble onto.

You would purchase an AI tax stamp! Just make sure you’re being honest about your token usage. Or maybe we can have AI licenses! Sky’s the limit when you can just make up policy on the internet for free.

At uncook we’re in the middle of glamming up our ingredient normalization pipeline, so this is VERY welcome right now

I had the exact same thought, and JD Vance too.

This is awesome. I love that people are working on this. I wish for the day I can own a box that boots up, and gives me the 90s-00s internet experience without needing to ask permission from a bunch of middlemen.

I took a plunge into learning about mesh networks, specifically because I love the idea of p2p/decentralized systems of communication. To be honest, I was surprised to find that my expectations for “where we are at” with this type of t

I came up as a software requirements analyst before the weird transition between business analyst to product owner to product manager to technical product manager. But living in requirements for 15+ years really gave me a leg up on these “l

Maybe a little broad. I have co-founders who are interested in emigrating to the USA, hoping our company could be a boon to the process. Is it?

I don’t have the right configuration of equipment to use an app like this, but does anyone know why this needs to be a service-driven app? What piece of functionality requires a server to track your health?

I think maybe part of the argument is that Apple’s closed system was a benevolent dictator-style ecosystem that was actually benevolent. Until it wasn’t.

My favorite short story of all time. Between this and Deep Thought in HHGttG, I couldn’t believe the prescience when the bitter lesson was learned and LLMs and GPUs started eating the world.

When I closed my screen and came back on this article I was very confused and thought I was accidentally transported backward through time.

We work together pretty well. From a 20,000 foot level maybe it looks like chaos and like a central guiding hand would make everything better. But, two people working together is easier to direct than 100,000 people (or more!). Unpacking th

Ah geeze, I’m sorry to hear that. We’ve had some strange issue where our landing page doesn’t show for some people? It’s driven us bananas before, and I hoped it was behind us. For what it’s worth, we’re on Google Play [0] and Apple App Sto

This is all very ambitious. I am not exactly sure where someone is supposed to start. With the connections to Pear and Tether I can see where the lines meet, but is the idea that someone takes this and builds…Skynet? AI Cryptocurrency schem

Gotta admit, I’m a sucker for a well-dressed mysterious preview. Really excited to see what Lefos is all about.
