@JamesTimmins Everything. Everyone I know who runs a bootstrapped company wants everyone on their team to be fully ai-pilled and a LOT of people are resistant
Oh my goodness this has to be right.
Instead of generating a random 256-bit number they generated a random number between 0 and 256.
That’s how they got 4, 66, 155, 156, 230 and 237.
my advice is DONT KEEP UP WITH AI
if its fun for you, great
but if you're trying to get work done just pick codex or claudecode and stick with it, doesn't matter which
keep experimenting with all they can do and get shit done
keeping up with AI is a full-time job. that's why every company needs a frontier team:
the frontier team's job is to keep up as models change. everyone else's job is to use what they learn
we made one @Every and it's completely changed how we work:

10:20 Working with AI means protecting other people’s attention

"The issue I keep hearing from so many customers is that there are a ton of bells and whistles and garbage that they have no interest in using but feel like they have no choice but to pay for."
I think this is the start of a big trend we'll see in SaaS in the ai era
What keeps getting missed is the cohort who is building their own NOT to save money but to get perfectly personalised software (. . . and they also save money doing it)
They don't want a bunch of extra they're not using, and they don't want to have to jump up two plans for the one random feature they need
I predict SaaS will move to be less tier-based and more a la carte just paying for whatever features you need
