I'd love to read a couple over the holidays and give you feedback if you'd like :)

How did you figure that out though, did you skim through the source code or was there some other tell?

This is insane.

The comment in code literally says "# Wait, `get_vecs_by_sector` returns all vectors." :|

Out of curiosity, what was the domain?

Can you elaborate?

Feedback: Would've been really nice to have an editor on your website. I'm on mobile, so I probably would have added a few feeds -> generated a link with query params -> put it on my slack to pick it up on my laptop later

I know I could just type it or send just the website link over, but it just feels like more work and I'm not invested enough (ie if I'd generated a link now I'd feel like I invested effort and would definitely open it on the laptop. With just a link...not sure)

Haha, nice bio. Seeing that font on HN is quite a shock.

"backups on an hourly basis" "excellent customer support" "500mb free"

A more unconvincing website I have never seen

That's a pretty crazy background. I wish you'd put your profile in your bio so I could follow you!

Do you have notifications set up or something? xD

I wish your contact details were in your profile, because I'm the kinda guy who'd annoy you till you finally give up and publish the blog ;)

Hi! I'd like some quick feedback - I just implemented RSS on my blog. ie the URL works.

Am I supposed to advertise it with the icon explicitly or is it enough if the URL works? What do you generally look for?

Wow. A few questions: - I recently added RSS to my blog. The URL works but I don't advertise it with the icon. Should I? - What do you use to track traffic?

I do have a fairly new personal blog, but I'm not sure how discoverability works.

It seems like you'd get traffic from search engines a few years back, but now the only traffic I've had is from a HN post.

Everything points to optimizing for "AEO" for LLMs now

That's crazy. That's generally scapegoat-ing territory...

I'd like to know more about the social network for the secret society though

That person's experience-gained knowledge is much more valuable than the literature you might get from LLMs.

How isn't this just fraud?

Expectation is that sensitive meetings run through a pipeline without being exposed to actual people (and if it is for very specific reasons, there are audit trails).

Here, they literally listen to sensitive information and can act on it.

How do you trust they won't do it again to "enhance summaries" or something in the future?

Haha, I like this!

The best approach is to probably separate the number out I guess.

Files deleted: {0 or 1 or 1,000,000}

Haha, I understand.

I actually agree with the sentiment in your first comment. These aren't what defines if a company is successful. A good experience, care and craftsmanship are important, but not company defining.

I have decided for myself that most company defining areas are not where I want to gain expertise in (focused user research, finding PMF, funding, GTM, sales, marketing, etc) - I'm passionate about tech and am intentional about excellence in this area.

Which is why I will probably never establish a company. But of course I can lead a team to do good technical work and would like coworkers who do the same. One can dream ;)

Just checked your profile out. Turns out I've interacted with Umesh on LinkedIn before on Runnable.

Small world. Nice work, all the best!

high fives ;)

Open to suggestions to make it better!

Touche ;)

Ouch. Unfortunately I don't think I will.

I'll probably always be hired by someone else to build a shared vision and aspire to do it as well as I possibly can :)

Please don't get me started on Azure!

Tests? What tests? ;)

Seriously though, "Files deleted: {0 or 1 or 1000}" would also work :)

Agreed! But I suspect several of these decisions are not intentionally made and are "...meh, whatever".

Haha, interesting!

Thank you, well said!
