The number of ReDoS vulnerabilities we see in Dependabot alerts for NPM packages we’re only using in client code is absurd. I’d love a fix for this that was aware of whether the package is running on our backend or not. Client side ReDoS is

I dunno, that seems a bit narrow minded to me. You're making an assumption about talking to AI being a worse experience than talking to a person (which is frequently _terrible_). What if you were able to get helpful support, 24/7&

My take is that they’re not necessarily harmful in and of themselves, but it’s absolutely harmful to think that this is the way to grow and get traction. It’s not a repeatable approach and it’s likely to pump some top of funnel metrics temp

Annual growth rate is typically a big factor in PE acquisition multiples. At a 4x multiple of ARR, I’d hazard a guess that this was on the lower side.

I agree in principle, but if it also generated a test, how would you know that was valid? The value I get from copilot is the ability to code faster , not the ability to code.

Yep: https://openai.com/blog/march-20-chatgpt-outage Some kind of concurrency bug in a library they were using to retrieve cached data from Redis led to this leak. > We took ChatGPT offline earlier this week due to

Surely they can aggregate this across all customers though. If Twilio cops an unexpectedly high settlement for sending an SMS to +1234567890 in January, can they assume that a separate customer sending an SMS to that number in February will

It shouldn't be a question of cost of living. Companies pay significantly more (or less) in local markets because of supply and demand in those local markets. Historically those markets have been localised due to the fact that few comp
