yes, daily reminder that SaaS products aren’t meant to make you money necessarily, and if they don’t justify a significant ROI within 60 days they’re better of dropped or (if you feel generous) rotated.
recently encountered a junior dev, long‑term unemployed and clearly struggling, who boasted about still shelling out roughly €1,200 a month on SaaS. he’s otherwise objectively smart.
go figure the less intelligent ones.
@claudeai two new pricey models aren’t the priority. fixing the current mess is. constant hedging, too many mistakes, prose that used to be original & convincing it’s now dreadful. i could go on, guys. your priorities are evidently different.
still genuinely surprised that Sonnet 5 isn't a chatbot given out for free, after having apologised for its existence. hands down one of the worst things Claude has ever come up with. the hedging reaches levels that are simply surreal, especially in research.
A large part of life is coming to terms with its mess, with its unforgiving edge. And yet—still to keep navigating. To have the constancy and the nerve to distinguish what must be done, notwithstanding the sacrifice, from what has come to be.
