#1 motivations for people attending @obvious events:
Experience 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 things they've only seen 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 post about online.

I love this because it's 𝘰𝘶𝘳 primary motivation for creating the events and informs a lot of the decisions we make when organizing them.

For instance, we make token usage for the day unlimited and free. We do this so that builders can test how ambitious they can be when unconstrained by cost concerns.

Most people haven't experienced what it's like to not have to worry about plan usage limits, API rate limits, or internal spend controls.

At @obvious , we want you to feel like you can fly. So we not only build a product that gives you massive leverage for your time and attention, we also remove any concern about cost so you can just build and experience this new way of working.

@zachmoskow Sounds like they need @obvious

@emanuelsa Worked for me. Excited to try. How can I support?

[Jon Bell @jonbell]

Agreed. Decent portion of our homeschooling. That requires discipline, controls, involvement from parents, and isn’t a substitute for character formation.

But I love that my kids can follow the curiosity and very quickly become more capable than 99% of the population in just about any area of interest or assignment.

[Jon Bell @jonbell]

@floguo Amen!

Excited to open source Sightmap!

Sightmap is a YAML spec + CLI that keeps a runtime map of your app. Views, components, requests, and memories, designed for agents to author and maintain. Every verification run gets smarter and burns fewer tokens.

@thenanyu A clear and accurate understanding of relationship between integrated things. At the individual level, relational level, and collective levels.
