They worked with Anthropic on this - wrapping Claude Cowork.

Funny enough, my 2007 BMW had so many issues and cost so much to maintain i used to call it a “wallet burning machine”
Anyway, nice project, cool to see excalidraw hosted like this.
But having a monitor on in the dark, even if I use flux/night vision and even with low brightness physically hurts my eyes compared to just using dark mode on my apps.
Not joking, we are trying to build a large online community now and I would love to pick his brain on balancing incentives, encouraging curiosity, having equanimity, and all kinds of aspects in “practical sociology”.
I think his in-the-trenches experience would benefit many people trying to build and maintain healthy online communities.
Thanks dang!!
+1 for both data intensive apps and Google SRE books. The other two I haven’t checked out yet
I _never_ thought I would burnout. “If you enjoy work, work life balance doesn’t matter” I would think to myself. But the point above about “it will take longer, but it will happen” is absolutely correct.
I am now burned out, 13 years later. I’m now going through the process of changing how I think about work-life-balance.
Find a passion outside of work. Think about something that is meaningful to you or some hobby you want to try.
Plan activities with your friends ahead of time - hikes, going to restaurants, just hanging out. It gives you something to look forward to on the weekends.
And other UX issues: seeing previews of images right in the email list, font/UI makes it harder to find things vs Inbox. Inbox was a much nicer UI/UX.
Ads are annoying but I would have been fine with ads if it was integrated in Inbox.
And look, I understand that it doesn’t make sense to invest in/maintain two heavily used email clients. But the most infuriating thing is the trip bundles. That was my most used feature and such a distinguishing aspect of Inbox that it’s almost insulting that Google would tell me I can “find my favorite features in Gmail” when it’s blatantly not there.
I would pay to still use Inbox.
?? Redux is definitely not the simplest solution :) I’d argue that starting with local state (which is what hooks seems to be headed towards), then profiling, testing, and adding small amounts of debouncing code where appropriate is more aligned with your sentiment of “don’t prematurely optimize” vs starting with redux.
Two big things in grid come to mind that make me use it much more than flexbox: grid-template-areas, and being able to overlap cells using lines.
In general, having a flexible first-class 2d layout is much easier to work with and change later than having nested 1d layouts.
We just recently got a 4K OLED and the difference between that and my old HD plasma (especially with HDR features) is huge.
I purchased a bunch of movies from iTunes and was excited when they announced they’d upgrade it all to 4K for free (until they said it could only be played on Apple TV)
If there is an investigation into stock manipulation the fact that there's funding secured would factor heavily against it.
My guess is that they had run the numbers on taking the company private before. Since the Saudis had approached Elon before and he denied their offer (for whatever reason) he probably was upset that they acquired a stake through secondary markets and tweeted their half-baked plan... (not a good course of action IMO)
>> ...the data shows that solo founders rarely succeed. The emotional burden is just too high.
I am a solo founder and yeah, I completely agree with this. I severely underestimated the emotional burden of going it alone. I am in a much better state now, but it was definitely a struggle. If I had to do it over again this is the main thing I would change - be more open towards and work harder towards finding a co-founder.
