Best captcha I've done.

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

@ansonlin Even for six figures, the differential is substantial. That being said, of course there’s often factors beyond just salary.

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

How does Canadian/Calgary tech compete with US/SF salaries?

Example ($CAD, Calgary/SF):

Average total compensation: $110k / $347k
After-tax income: $76k / $226k
Living cost equivalency: $76k / $128k
Income difference: $98k more in SF = $226k-$128k

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

Yes, Quick really is that great!

[Daniel Beauchamp @pushmatrix]

Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.

But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?

We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.

We call it Quick 👇🧵

Just had my first purchase experience from a Claude generated website. Crazy!

@lucyhargreaves4 @applejuiceizy you should check this out!

Install ntn, the Notion CLI.

It brings the entire Notion API to your terminal, plus everything you need to build and deploy Workers. Built for humans and coding agents alike.

Install with: curl -fsSL https://t.co/2dJqE3YHvw | bash

What would call this user experience pattern of supplying an interface component as a response?

Maybe "component conversations"?

[Florian S @airesearch12]

This is the future of UI.

I built an AI chat that changes its own visual shape and form as you talk.
The AI invents the perfect user interface to fulfill your needs and guide you to the desired result.

Try for free.

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

@kentcdodds @Baconbrix I wonder if AI agents will force companies to crack open their APIs more?

Webscraping load and sophistication may grow so much that corps don't bother with the hassle of fighting it and offer more (but not full) endpoint access.

[Adrian | The Web Scraping Guy @adrian_horning_]

Do I think AI will kill web scraping?

Meaning will there be 0 scraping jobs in 5 years?

No I don't think thats true.

But I do think that API's are becoming more and more important to connect all this MCP and AI agent stuff to.

So I think having an API that is inexpensive, reliable, with good customer support, will be very important, no matter where you host it.

@Steelcase Thanks for the reply @Steelcase. Would be even more convenient if I could add a review from the product page. Can I get another email? I can’t find the review one.

@barstoolsports @harleyf The Québécois do have that je ne sais quoi

[Papodoki @papodoki]

I LOVE sidekick and I think Shopify is the only company adapting AI and feel like it was there like for years…

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

TIL there no term for Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom together. What’s the best?

Anglo-Atlantic?
Anglo-North Atlantic?
Red Three?
Anglo-Triangle?

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

Will be interesting to see what happens to chat data for any large AI chat startups that close.

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

This is a great article summarizing current Canadian economic trends.

Anyone interested in the welfare of Canada should skim.

@pmarca @pmarca what is the difference between introspection and learning?

[Jack Peplinski @JackPeplinski]

@nejatian “AI chat” has a bad name from poor customer service bots.

Sidekick goes so far beyond this. You can actually just use it do things.

If something is “platform for xyz” where xyz is an industry vertical it is usually a structured spreadsheet.

@amorriscode @bcherny Can you implement a sticky input for long plan output? 🙏
