Maybe a nostalgia thing? I've been Mac since OS X came out but my first good notebook was a Thinkpad. It was my grail notebook as a student then young professional. And once I had the budget it's what I standardized on. What was there not to like? Clean design, great screen, killer keyboard, trackpoint, durable.

Been at this party before. In low/no-code land where citizen developers built everything, most ended up in IT's laps or decommissioned once the citizen developer got bored or too busy. IT right fully pushed back. Interestingly this time, IT is in on it so we'll see where it ends up! I have my suspicions.

@treeder Yes I love doing this. It's completely changed my home network infra ops.

It's perhaps a sad commentary that I say I have a home network infra ops...😂

@proxy_vector @MengTo Externalize everything to files or if you want to get fancy, database. If your world gets huge, use something like qmd or vector DBs Don't rely on a big context window.

Better UX, critical mass of adoption, mental switching costs, and connecting up enough tools seems to be the shallow moat some are relying on. That just isn't enough. Even foundation models are commoditized but there's only a few and new entrants are not affecting their growth (yet).

There has to be something extrinsic like deep personal data (interestingly memory seems like a moat for LLMs), multi-model routing / optimization, etc. Todoist is in an interesting position right now. Love the product btw.

People talk about AI finding exploits in cryptocurrency contracts or break its cryptography, but I think we may be underestimating AI's ability to just social engineer users into making mistakes. Especially if initiated by malicious humans.

@NewOrleansVC Yes, fellow Air brother, this is the way

@RektHQ @MIM_Spell End of an era. Good times then bad times. Then really bad times.
