@Ringerfann @aryanlabde @yazyyevm Logistics adjacent app that helps with scheduling, planning, metrics data, payroll, driver files, etc. It's ~98,000 lines of code. User accounts, roles, syncing, etc.

I'm actually making pretty good progress on a SaaS product, and I do not know how to code. Time will tell but I've been shocked at the amount I've been able to build. Been testing over months and soon starting to meet with businesses to sell it. I basically just tell ChatGPT what I want, and tell it to give me a handoff file and prompt for codex to implement. Then Codex writes the code, then Chat reviews it. Over and over. Been at this product for moths on and off now and use it every day with barely any bugs at all.

@SherrodBrown Are you for ending our war in Iran and blocking all weapon sales to Israel?

@VadimYuryev Best guess on when 16" M5 Pro is released?

[Josh Smith @joshsmith722]

Similar thoughts from me so far. I always used the Slight - Balanced setting in accessibility which evened the sound out nicely. But now I kind of want a sound signature in between the regular mode and the balanced mode. Was expecting the bass to be a bit cleaner. Also feel like the sounds stage reviews are a bit overhyped. Maybe I'm just not used to it yet but the width sometimes feels...artificial?

If we were in boring political times I’d be a big Expand The House head. Should be like 1000 seats

Imagine the reaction if some democratic mayor announced they were going to spend a bunch of money on artistic manhole covers.

This is about to be a history-making ratio

Now would be a good time for democrats to decide if they’re on the side of democrats

Exactly my thoughts. Have been surprised to see no one flipping the argument on its head. Frame it as people are already leaving, and we don’t want them to, so we’re going to reduce costs on those people to keep them in NYC.

[Jonah Allon @JonahAllon]

not first to point this out, but the breathless predictions of a potential exodus of wealthier NYers have overshadowed the fact that the city has been hemorrhaging middle and lower-income people for years — largely due to the obscene cost of basic needs like childcare and housing

[Josh Smith @joshsmith722]

@BeersBellies @davidsirota 🙄🙄🙄 I'm not tone policing, but whatever. You don't seem interested in actually discussing this.

[Josh Smith @joshsmith722]

Yeah if you listen to them that's basically what they do! Sure, they are not the furthest left. But they are tremendously useful aggregators and messengers for people on the left, just as Daily Wire, Tucker, Fox, etc is for the right. I recommend them a lot to center-left types who we want pulled further left. If you're already further left, there are better options, but we want to pull people over! Despite their silly name, they aren't saviors, and don't claim to be. They message for the left, against the right, and explicitly rail against centrism and conservative democrats, with real disdain for them! Again, my main point is that painting them as an enemy is foolish. They can be used and moved left!

Perfect example. And this, coming from one of the Pod Save bros that's typically more conservative and messaging/data oriented.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

What's happening in NYC is a blaringly loud message to those in the Dem establishment who still cling to old politics, recite focus-grouped talking points, and are too afraid to say what needs to be said.

We have a lot to learn from @ZohranKMamdani and his campaign.

[Josh Smith @joshsmith722]

When did Pod Save ever stab the left in the back? Are they communists? No. Are they further left than the majority of the United state electorate? Yes. Do they consistently advocate for universal healthcare, voting rights, pro-choice policies, international law, human rights, etc? Yes. Not only that, but they've consistently been honest when they change their minds and are willing to admit when they've been wrong. They are also massively influential for messaging and organization on the left. They have huge turnout and fundraising ability. It is a stupid, pointless, puritanically driven division, to paint Pod Save of all people as the enemy. Partner with them! They're the exact people that are easiest to push left and use to accomplish leftist goals! This is what Zohran understands that so many on the left do not. Stand on your values, bring people in, not push them away. You need to build a majority if you want to win! The bigger a group gets, the more disagreements there will be, but lasting majorities are made when they can stand up to internal conflict. You can have issues with Pod Save, as I do. But painting them as an enemy is crazy and self-defeating.

@samhaselby Oh true! I was referring to the book
