@jayrivercourt @dhh @satyanadella Thanks @jayrivercourt I tried a bunch of UI Frameworks for Rust before GPUI. Definitely the best I found out there!

@SwannMarcus89 This has been a developer trick for years in even the hottest markets like San Francisco. If you ask to pay the actually rate ($1250) they will flat out reject you, no negotiation.

The trick is to show lenders and investors they are getting the rents they promised.

Why do we still need AWS? I just migrated my entire SaaS from AWS to a single Hetzner VPS with AI managing the setup.

$176/mo → $20/mo. More RAM, more CPU, less complexity.

No ALB. No NAT gateway. No ElastiCache markup. Just Docker on a box that costs less than a lunch.

@twilio -- I've been trying to get a response from your porting team for 4 days and no one is responding. Do you still allow customers to cancel your service?

Modern spreadsheets turned into SaaS dashboards.

I’m building one that feels like software again.

VisiGrid

Native Rust • <300 ms cold start
No ribbon sprawl. No lag.

– command palette
– full keybinding remap
– real multi-edit
– local-first, offline forever

Open source soon.

What’s the one thing that would actually make you switch from Excel / Sheets / LibreOffice?

@lazukars How was it leaked?

@FundamentEdge Spreadsheets used in business are systems of record, not drafts.

Without provenance and auditability in Excel’s core, AI can’t be trusted.

@RyanZohoury @mhp_guy Enriched flour = gut issues
Natural flavor = made to taste like butter
Reconstituted dairy
Added vitamins

Tricks the taste buds into being awesome though.

@JohnWake How does this graph count investors?

[Robert O'Neill @robertdoneill]

@lkr Seems like you haven’t spent much time in the US recently.

[Robert O'Neill @robertdoneill]

@onechancefreedm how are you counting buyers?

[Robert O'Neill @robertdoneill]

@NipseyHoussle Until you use upwork CPAs and realize automation is the only path forward.

@MehulFromWisc @charliebilello He doesn't

@JohnWake Doesn't for sale inventory matter more than new home builds?
