@skeptrune I worked for an SF company and lived in Austin...
Our SF coworkers hated how we could leave work on Thursday and hangout on Rainey St. without stressing about work
Austin is the perfect balance of work and play
@ElitzaVasileva@cursor_ai Same. I actually have 2 plans (work and personal) and this past month I burned through so much faster.
For work, I usually use ~$6k/mo and I was closer to $10k.
For personal, my Ultra plan usually lasts 2-3 weeks and this month I ran out in 3 days.
It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request.
You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it.
It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names.
You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy.
They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important.
The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment.
That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain.
You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.
@peer_rich Agreed
Third-party dependencies have always been a huge risk, and AI is the reason we're discovering more security bugs, not necessarily introducing more
@kevinrose This is sick! I built something like this, but shut it down after spending $100/week for the summer of 2024... It's hard not raising VC money these days
