Co-founder @trychameleon - Better onboarding. Remote work and eagerly lazy load. Other ½ of @shanfor. Past @Shoto @Involver @UCBerkeley

@auren when you assume that others have it figured out more than you do you end up with a “them”. nothing is quite as unhappy as a successful “them” because they are everywhere

[Brian Norton @nort]

@auren do you read any sci-fi or fantasy? I find I feel the most refreshed after reading about worlds imagined

[Brian Norton @nort]

@anushkmittal @auren both can be true — reading can give the mind time to process your hard problems in a sort of background task

[Brian Norton @nort]

@thatstraw I’ve found the best complaint is to fix it and this applies to so many things

[Brian Norton @nort]

@Eric_P8 @dhh posthog comes to mind but curious what else there is out there — can you share who here on in DM?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@alexisohanian this doesn’t track for a sampling of the people around me, closer to 50% is being generous. does the 94% really hold for the people you know?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@fly_SAV I heard a report from DIA terminal that an event had closed the runway, any update?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@auren @Blake_Hall 5 years is a short timeline for change, my graph will look like a gradual increase over time with jumps every few years. All that said, the number of logins in my resident set is about 12 and my totals in 1Pass are

74 for work
167 personal

@statsandedits Could they go hybrid like the premier league?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@danhightower @lpolovets Time to buy some more!

[Brian Norton @nort]

@danbarker @owenraisch @Austen @danbarker hearing a lot of "things that do stuff with spreadsheets" but not all that much else -- I am genuinely curious about what I am missing out on

[Brian Norton @nort]

@rohitdotmittal @Austen what workflows are you compressing today? do you have a key example of something that is 10x better?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@auren if it's anywhere near as good as five links, I'm in for the long run

[Brian Norton @nort]

@Austen @Austen I'm interested in what you gleaned from this -- 52% of surveyed said they rarely use AI first to write code. to me this is not super confidence inspiring in terms of the future of AI coding tools for engineers

[Brian Norton @nort]

@KarleKane @Austen pointing you in the right direction when...? when you don't know where to start? when you encounter an error? something else?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@bitsizejourney @Austen I don't think I have had the same experience, what types of things are you working on?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@dj_roots @pitdesi lol but who do you *allow* to recommend content to you? small inner circle or colleagues or friends?

[Brian Norton @nort]

@paulg I agree — we use @tuple for most engineering team calls and there is zero expectation of using video. I can’t imagine asking them to be on video, it would take up too much brainpower

[Brian Norton @nort]

@lan8ach @Austen yes sort of but I’ve found that when things start asynchronous or are punctuated synchronous they just go better

[Brian Norton @nort]

@jordanful @Austen waiting patiently for this for my Tesla, I can “feel it” in their roadmap 🤞
