This comment reminds me of the general malaise affecting the public discourse in the US these days. "Don't listen to the experts, all the context and knowledge they have makes them biased!!" Of course Sam is "qualified&

Anthropic technically use the Stainless docs platform for their docs, in that it’s all rendered by Stainless components. They just don’t use the full suite of Stainless tools for docs. The ability to use as little or as much as you like was

Great to see more competition in this space - I'm currently on Slack and not happy about it. Here's hoping Emdash can fill the void left by Workplace and get some momentum to put pressure on Slack. It's much needed

People accused Facebook of this for years, and it was Apple all along. So much for the privacy-first company nonsense they've been spouting for years. The fact that this fine is so low is a real injustice. How is this not bigger tha
